The GE3000 hydraulic plate compactor is designed for excavators in the 15,000 to 33,500 lb weight class, delivering exceptional centrifugal force to compact granular and moderately cohesive soils to 95% Mod Proctor density or better. It also functions as a vibratory pile driver for wood, steel, vinyl, and aluminum sheeting, posts, and beams, using vibration to break skin friction for faster driving. The integrally mounted baseplate and eccentric housing minimize maintenance, while heavy rubber isolators protect the carrier boom from vibrations.
With an adjustable pin center from 11 to 16 inches and requiring a separate pin kit for fitment, the GE3000 offers versatile mounting. Replacement parts are available, and it comes with a 1-year warranty for peace of mind.
