The excavator vibrating plate compactor is a compaction device installed at the end of the excavator arm. It can quickly compact soil, asphalt, or gravel through high-frequency vibration. Compared with handheld plate compactors, the excavator vibrating plate can efficiently complete road repair, foundation reinforcement, and other projects with the help of the mobility and power of the excavator. This type of equipment is particularly suitable for large-scale construction scenarios.

Plate compactor attachment for excavator structure
The excavator vibrating plate compactor consists of four core components:
- Vibration module: built-in eccentric block motor, generating vertical directional vibration
- Connecting frame: rigidly connected to the excavator arm through a quick-change joint, supporting 360° rotation
- Compacting plate: The surface adopts a laser anti-skid pattern design to enhance ground adhesion
- Hydraulic system: powered by the excavator, equipped with an overload protection valve
For example, the YG brand excavator compactor adopts a modular design, which can quickly replace worn parts.
Advantages of the excavator vibrating plate
- Efficient and flexible: 5,000 square meters of area can be compacted per day, adapting to complex terrain such as slopes and corners
- Cost saving: no need to purchase additional rollers, reducing equipment investment
- Safe and durable: hydraulic buffer system reduces body impact, life span exceeds 8,000 hours
- Multi-scenario adaptation: the plate compactor attachment for the excavator is suitable for working in road construction, pipeline backfilling, dam reinforcement, and other scenarios. After using YG equipment in a municipal project, the construction period was shortened by 40%.
Maintenance tips for excavator compactor
To extend the life of the excavator vibrating plate compactor, regular maintenance is required:
- Daily inspection: Clean the adhesion at the bottom of the plate and check whether the hydraulic oil pipe is leaking
- Weekly maintenance: add high-temperature grease to the vibration shaft bearing and tighten the loose bolts
- Quarterly inspection: replace the worn eccentric block bushing and test the insulation performance of the motor
Special Tip: The excavator vibrating plate needs to be preheated for 10 minutes before starting in winter to avoid cold start damage.
