Third Coast Equipment SP250H Single Direction Plate Compactor Honda GX160 Engine 234lb Ductile Cast Iron Base 5.5 HP Asphalt Soil Gravel Vibratory Tamper

Achieve Superior Surface Density with the Heavy-Duty Power and Honda Reliability of the SP250H Plate Compactor

The Third Coast Equipment SP250H Single Direction Plate Compactor is an industrial-strength solution designed for contractors who demand high-output performance and long-term durability. Engineered with a substantial 234 lb operating weight and powered by the legendary Honda GX160 5.5 HP engine, this vibratory tamper delivers a powerful 18 kN (4,046 lbf) of centrifugal force. It is the ideal tool for large-scale soil compaction, foundation preparation, and asphalt paving where air pocket elimination is critical for structural integrity. The 19.7-inch wide base plate allows you to cover expansive areas quickly while maintaining the maneuverability needed for utility trenches and landscape pathways.

Built for professional use, the SP250H features a premium ductile cast iron base plate that provides exceptional tensile strength and superior energy transfer to the ground surface. This high-grade material naturally absorbs high-frequency vibrations, significantly reducing hand-arm fatigue for the operator during extended shifts. To enhance versatility on the job site, this model includes a high-capacity removable water tank with an easy-open cap and integrated garden hose holder, making it perfect for dust suppression and smooth, stick-free asphalt finishing. With a rapid travel speed of 82 feet per minute and a center-mounted handle for balanced control, the SP250H combines rugged American-inspired design with world-class engineering to ensure your project stands on a rock-solid foundation.

Pro-Tip: When using the SP250H on base material like gravel or crushed stone, avoid running the plate in one spot for too long once full compaction is achieved. Over-compacting can actually cause the aggregate to break down or push material out from the sides, potentially weakening the sub-base you just established.
