This plate is designed for compacting loose, granular soils, gravel, and
paving stones. It is intended to be used in confined areas and areas
next to structures such as walls, curbs, and foundations. Plates
equipped with water tanks can be used for compacting asphalt.
This plate is not recommended for compacting cohesive soils with a
heavy clay content. For cohesive soil, use a vibratory rammer or
sheepsfoot roller.
