Versatile and lightweight compactor from CP
6097 Chicago Pneumatic is expanding its compaction equipment range with the launch of a lightweight, powerful and robust forward plate compactor. The MV58 is said to be easy to operate, manoeuvre and maintain, and offers fast and highly efficient compaction performance in a unit weighing less than 70kg.

To help operators save on maintenance jobs, the new forward asphalt plate compactor comes equipped as standard with an integrated, tubeless water distribution system. To optimise water consumption, the MV58 includes a corrosion-free 5litre water tank featuring an easy to reach flow adjustment valve. The water tank is also easy to hook on and off, for fast refilling.

To allow fast transport on and between job sites, the MV58 has a compact design and can be equipped with the additional option of transport wheels.

The MV58 is designed for compaction of thin asphalt layers, and small repairs and road maintenance work, in confined areas. All Chicago Pneumatic forward compaction plates have durable frames to protect vital parts and are equipped with 2288 Honda engines.
