Proper soil compaction made easy

Spring 2012

To further expand the versatility of Doosan crawler and wheel excavators, three new flat-top-design plate compactors are now available, complementing the line of Doosan excavator attachments. Three models are available for use with excavators from 5 to 65 tons, covering 16 Doosan models altogether.

Three plate compactor models

Doosan plate compactor attachments feature standard flow control on all three models - the PCX64, PCX114 and PXC220. Standard flow control prevents operating the compactors too quickly, which can lead to poor compaction and reduced bearing durability. A direct-drive, heavy-duty motor has four outboard shock mounts to distribute vibration evenly, improving compaction efficiency and extending component life.

Plate compactor attachments for excavators are much more productive than hand-held compactors and eliminate the need for a worker to compact soil in a trench.
