15 best vibrating plates

This gasoline vibrating plate is distinguished by the most economical fuel consumption, and the manufacturer places special emphasis on this factor.However, having studied the tool more closely, it becomes clear that such an expense is fully justified and is not due to some magical properties of the engine, but to its rather low technical characteristics.

The rated power indicated in the documentation is 5.4 horsepower. Quite a decent indicator, albeit not the best in our rating. But its impact force is only 18 kN, which allows you to compact the soil to a maximum depth of up to 20 centimeters and no more. Also, the disadvantages include the lack of control on the handle, and the handle itself, made of thin pipes. Given all these factors, we can conclude that the dacha for this tool is the most convenient place to work. She is unlikely to be trusted with asphalting roads and highways, although the manufacturer emphasizes this.

If your dacha has acquired or plans to acquire paths, no matter what material, and you need to compact the soil, then this is the best gasoline vibrating plate at the most attractive price. She has a small working platform, and she was made that way not for economy, but for reasons of convenience. It easily gets into difficult places and easily creates intricate sections with turns.

But do not think that this is a weak tool, a cottage for him is not the ultimate dream, and he can easily cope even with asphalt. The engine power here is 5.5 horsepower, and the productivity is over 500 square meters. Of course, in large areas, the small size of the base will create difficulties, which is why the tool is more useful to a private user who will not set the task of tamping kilometer sections.And the price for a private buyer is quite acceptable. By the way, this is the best price tag in our ranking, especially since this is a gasoline model, not an electric one.

The vibrating plate, in essence, is a metal platform with mounts and a control handle. The main task is assigned to the engine, in our case, gasoline, and the quality of its assembly depends on how long the tool will work and how expensive it will be to repair it. Before us is a German product, but with a Honda engine, and anyone who is at least a little familiar with this Japanese manufacturer knows about its main feature - the best build quality.

The engine is not only powerful, here it is 5.5 forces, but also as durable as possible. As users note, it very rarely fails and even more so requires a major overhaul. True, it should be understood that in the event of a breakdown, its repair will be quite expensive. This is another feature of this manufacturer that you have to put up with. However, given the size of the plate and other indicators, we can conclude that the best place to work for a tool is a summer house. It is better to entrust the construction of roads and highways to a more powerful analogue, and not so expensive to maintain.

The Czech brand Zitrek is rightfully considered the best manufacturer of vibrating plates, and its products are invariably in high demand, despite the rather high price tag.This is the most, or one of the most expensive models on the market, but as users say, its cost is completely leveled due to the best build quality and the most thoughtful configuration. This gasoline vibrating plate is designed for the highest loads. This is a professional model, and a dacha for it will be too light an object, so you should not even look in the direction of this model if you do not plan to compact asphalt over a large area.

The compaction depth here is 90 centimeters, and this is the best indicator, however, not surprising, since the power of the installed engine is 6.5 horsepower, and the impact energy is 38 kN. In an hour of work, the tool processes 650 square meters of surface, but you have to put up with a rather high fuel consumption. During the same hour, the stove will eat almost three liters of AI 92 gasoline.

The price of this tool is over 70 thousand rubles, however, this is the best value for money. Even in our rating, there are models that are much cheaper, but their technical characteristics are much lower. Before us is a full-fledged professional device, with a gasoline engine with a capacity of 4.8 kilowatts. The vibrating plate compacts the soil to a depth of 50 centimeters, and processes a plot of 570 square meters in an hour.

The size of the plate is average, 78 by 48 centimeters, which, with an impact power of 30.5 kN, seriously increases the productivity of the tool. Also in the reviews they highlight the reliability and durability of the plate, and what is very important, it has maximum maintainability. The brand is Russian, and all parts, except for the engine, are made in Russia, that is, the replacement of any module is easily feasible.The engine is European, but well known to local craftsmen, and it is often installed on various devices, including vibrating plates.

The Czech brand Zitrek, which is the leader in the production of gasoline vibrating plates, has also mastered the production of diesel-driven tools. Before us is a worthy option, which can be safely called the best combination of price and quality. Among diesel models, this is one of the lowest price tags and it is completely incomprehensible what caused it.

Technical characteristics here are at the highest level: engine power is 13 horsepower, ramming depth is up to a meter, impact force is almost 40 kN, and processing speed is over 650 square meters per hour. These are very high figures, and one might even say the best among similar models. And this vibrating plate got to such, not the most respectable place in the ranking only because of excess strength. Even when laying asphalt, it will be very high, and situations where such a tool is needed are not so common.That is, this is specialized equipment, which even construction companies will use quite rarely.

If a gasoline vibrating plate is, as a rule, a rather bulky tool, then a diesel engine, due to its power, can significantly reduce the overall dimensions of the tool. And before us is a vivid example of how a powerful tool with fairly high performance can fit in a small case.

The main purpose of this product is the processing of complex areas with non-standard relief or configuration. Thanks to its small form factor and slab, it will get into the most difficult places, while still having all the qualities of a large slab. The rammer capacity is more than 30 kN, and the processing speed is 650 squares per hour. An engine with a power of 4.3 horsepower is running on the installation, and this is quite enough. Simply put, giving such a tool will seem too simple an object. It is designed to work on roads and highways, but the best application is the processing of areas with complex configurations, such as the installation of lamps or near curbs.

Describing his product, the manufacturer always focuses on the main, in his opinion, characteristic. In this case, a unique vibration reduction system is considered. This is a very important factor, especially for the operator, who is constantly in tension when working with a vibrating plate. All brands are working on reducing vibration transmission, and in this case it is difficult to say that this manufacturer has achieved such a revolutionary.Yes, the stove works great, but there is a suspicion that this is due to a rather weak, 4 strong engine.

Vibration damping occurs due to the flexible connection of the tubular handle and base, but as practice shows, this is the weakest module in the device, and it is difficult to say whether the manufacturer had to sacrifice build quality for the sake of its main competitive advantage. Otherwise, this is a fairly average device, delivering an impact force of up to 20 kN, and ramming any kind of soil to a depth of 25 centimeters. But the engine here is of high quality and it belongs to the Hatz brand, which is popular on the market and often used on such equipment.

The Swiss brand Husqvarna is known to some as the manufacturer of the best motorcycles. To some as a brand of chainsaws and other garden equipment. In fact, the brand's range of interests is much wider, and it even has a vibrating plate in its assortment, and as always with Husqvarna, it can be safely called the best in every respect except for one thing - the price. Yes, the price tag is really high, but it is completely leveled after studying the technical characteristics, and after taking into account the reliability and durability of the tool.

Not the most energetic engine with a capacity of 4.3 horsepower is installed here, while it produces an impact force of up to 38 kN, which is a very high figure. The rotational speed is more than 3 thousand revolutions per minute, and the tamping depth is up to 40 centimeters. Not the highest performance, but this is a professional model designed for high loads. Ergonomics is a distinct advantage.A movable handle that adapts to the height of the operator and a sophisticated vibration dampening system make the vibratory plate the best of its kind. Its convenience will be appreciated by any master who knows how difficult it is to work with vibration equipment.

If you are looking for the most reliable, powerful, high-quality assembled vibrating plate, and at the same time are not limited in finances, then it is in front of you. Let's start with the price tag, which will surely shock many. Yes, almost half a million rubles is very expensive, but it should be understood that we have professional equipment, originally designed for the most serious loads. Your dacha is a trifle for her, which she can handle in a matter of minutes. The tool is designed for processing large areas, and its productivity is more than 650 square meters per hour.

The tamping depth is 50 centimeters, and the impact force is 30 kN. These are the best figures, especially when considering an engine with more than 9 horsepower. And finally, we turn to the most important thing - the engine. This is a diesel engine of the famous Hatzer brand, which is known and appreciated for the highest build quality and maximum efficiency, with a fuel consumption of only 0.6 liters per hour. In addition, it is maintainable, that is, even in the event of a breakdown, it can be easily returned to service and it will cost relatively inexpensively. Simply put, this is the best vibrating plate for the most serious loads, hence the price tag.

Since the vibrating plate is a primitive design, especially if we are talking about an electric drive, in some cases there is even no need to buy a finished product. It is much easier to assemble it yourself, and you do not need to be an engineer or a technician for this.

The main part is the vibration motor, and it is in front of us. In fact, this is an ordinary engine, but on the sides it has two closed eccentrics attached to the shaft. When the shaft rotates, the eccentrics shift the center of gravity, and vibration occurs. Nothing complicated. You just buy such a motor, install it on a metal base, attach a handle, and that's it, you can work. And such a pleasure will cost less than 10 thousand rubles. Despite the fact that the same plates cost more than 20 thousand, although there is nothing complicated or unique in them that could not be created by one's own hands.

The electric drive imposes a number of restrictions on the vibrating plate, and this is not only a connection to the network, but also power restrictions. Strong engines that can compete with gasoline or even more so diesel counterparts will be very large, so the purpose of electric models is to work in summer cottages and household plots, where there is no need to ram asphalt to a meter depth.

For example, this model compacts loose soil to a depth of 15-20 centimeters, and in fact, this is quite enough. The power consumption is only 250 watts, which will allow you to connect to a regular household outlet without causing a significant load on the network. The design is also nothing special. The only complex connection, if you can call it that, is the flexible coupling of the handle directly to the plate. Not the most serious achievement of science and technology, but this model does not claim to be.

Chinese manufacturers sometimes break all conceivable records. For example, this vibrating plate is gasoline, diesel, and now also electric. Interestingly, regardless of the drive, its configuration does not change at all. Which is very strange, given the completely different loads.

As the manufacturer himself writes, the main advantage here is the unique vibration reduction system, and, looking at a rather primitive design, we allow ourselves to doubt this. With the rest of the characteristics, everything seems to be fine: the compaction speed is up to 25 meters per minute. The force is 13.5 kN, and the engine power is 3 horsepower. By the way, it is strange that the manufacturer on an electric tool indicates the power in horsepower, and not in kilowatts, but let's leave it to his conscience. In general, a completely ordinary vibrating plate with an electric drive, although quite expensive. There are many similar models on the market at a lower cost. Yes, they do not have such a vibration dampening system, and there are many questions about it on this model.

professional value, and describing them as tools for road and other heavy-duty work. In fact, everyone is well aware that the use of an electric drive is impractical at large facilities, and this brand turned out to be the most honest.

In the description of the model, he immediately indicates that the best place to work for a tool is a summer house and a household plot. It will perfectly cope with any loose soil, and for example, sand or fine gravel can easily compact to a depth of 15 centimeters. Quite enough for a summer residence, but very little for road work. An engine with a power of only 0.5 forces is installed here, which allows you to connect it to a regular household outlet. But the length of the power cable pumps up. Only two meters. When buying this product, immediately think about how far you will need to go from the outlet.

An electric vibrating plate is the simplest device. In fact, this is a metal platform with a handle on which a vibration motor is installed. There is nothing structurally complex here, and we have a clear proof of this. Engine power here is 0.5 kilowatts by default. Optionally, the manufacturer offers the installation of a kilowatt motor, but both options allow you to easily connect to a regular household network. That is why the wire is equipped with a conventional plug for an outlet, and not a complex system of connections.

The tamping depth is appropriate - up to 30 centimeters. It will not work to calculate the area of ​​the processed surface, since the motor restrictions come into force. Sand and fine gravel will compact faster, while asphalt will be much slower.In fact, the best place to work for such a tool is a dacha, but the manufacturer insists that it is designed specifically for road work, and the engine life is very high. Well, he will not argue with the manufacturer, but as practice shows, such models are rarely used at large construction sites.
