The ZV-R series rammers feature low-vibration handles and are said to deliver powerful compaction forces as well as manoeuvrability. The ZV-RL and ZV-RLS models are lightweight and feature Pipe Guard engine protection.

The ZV-P vibratory plate compactors are compact and durable, while the ZV-PR reversible vibratory plates offer manoeuvrability and easy maintenance. There are several walk-behind rollers and the ZV-W models have conveniently located levers and switches for easy operation. They can be cleaned quickly using the pull-out sprinkler nozzle and other maintenance jobs can be carried out easily, thanks to the one-touch keyed gull-wing engine cover.
