Vibco's affordable line of Reversible Plate Compactors (VR)replace the "forward only" plates. With the VR series, there is no more dragging, pulling, or pushing. The patented all mechanical devices (no hydraulics) let you reverse direction instantly while maintaining full speed in forward or reverse. The VR series will solve your problems compacting asphalt or dirt in ditches, inside foundations, or any tight spot. A water tank kit for asphalt compaction can easily be added to all VR compactors.
