Maximize the efficiency of your compact excavator with the EDGE Compaction Plate. EDGE compaction plates can be used anywhere a boom can reach; in trenches, around foundations, on slopes or seawalls. Compaction plates can safely compact trenches, often eliminating the extra cost involved with a walk-behind unit and the added expense of trench boxes or shoring. EDGE compaction plates are also ideal for driving steel sheeting used for retaining walls.
