CablePrice has released a new Hitachi compaction equipment range, which includes the ZV-PF series Hitachi vibratory plate compactors and the ZV-R series Hitachi rammers. The equipment has been designed to suit a number of industry applications, such as councils, hire and rental companies, landscapers, as well as paving, trenching and civil contractors.

The Hitachi ZV-PF series vibratory plate compactors utilise safety cushions, reinforced bottom plate and triple vibration-resistant design to deliver high compaction, durability and easy operation.

Boasting low-amplitude and high-frequency, these compactors are an effective tool in the compaction of cohesive, granular and mixed soils.

The plate compactors incorporate a triple vibration-proof design and the rammers have a low-vibration handle. Both these features contribute to reduced operator hand fatigue by significantly reducing vibrations without compromising on performance.

The Hitachi ZV-R series rammers provide operators with powerful compaction force. A combination of double reinforced base plates and a safety cushion mitigates damage to the machine, particularly in distribution hazards such as drops. Operators will also benefit from improved stability, as well as efficient manoeuvrability in confined spaces due to the compact machine design.

Propelling power of the ramming shoes is increased for better controllability on uneven ground. As seen in the vibratory plate compactors, the rammers are ideal in tough site conditions where manoeuvrability in restrictive environments is required.

Convenient operation has been achieved through a user-friendly throttle lever and an engine stop switch positioned close to the operator’s hand. In addition, the steel cover offers added protection and durability for the engine.
