Overview
This hydraulic plate compactor turns an excavator in the 4-7 ton class into a compaction tool for trenches, footings, pads and road base. Because the plate rides on the end of the boom, you can compact backfill in a trench or on a slope without putting a walk-behind machine or an operator down in the hole.
What it does
- Compacts soil, gravel, sand and asphalt base to an effective depth of up to 39 in.
- Isolates vibration from the boom with a rubber cushion between the plate and the mount.
- Protects the hydraulic motor with an overload valve shutoff.
- Leaves the motor reachable for maintenance inside a semi-open steel frame.
What your machine needs
Your excavator should be in the 4-7 ton class, and it needs a hydraulic circuit to run the compactor's motor. The listing does not state the required oil flow or the exact coupler pattern, so confirm both with us before you order.
Features
-
Compaction depth to 39 in.Rated to compact soil, gravel and sand to an effective depth of up to 39 in., which suits trench backfill, footings and road base.
-
Quick change luggingThe lugging is built for a quick change setup, so moving between the compactor and your bucket takes less downtime.
-
Vibration kept off the boomA rubber cushion isolates much of the vibration from your boom, motor and bearings and sends the force into the ground instead.
-
Overload valveAn overload shutoff keeps the hydraulic motor inside its working range to protect it from damage.
-
Open frame for serviceThe motor sits inside a semi-open steel frame, so you can reach it for maintenance while it stays guarded.

Pads Tighten Properly
This compactor has been handy for trench backfill and footing prep on our New South Wales place. The quick change mount saves time between attachments, and it leaves a firmer finish with fewer repeat passes in tighter areas.

From James b.
James B: You can feel the difference with the rubber pad placed on here compared with other compactors I’ve used. They all have some sort of reverb protection built in but this one feels smoother than others. Pleasantly surprised with the quality

Bought for the seasons work after calculating our needs with the projects we had lined up and the investment in this tamper I would say replaced the need for one extra labourer which has been a huge plus both economically and time wise. Grande Prairie, alberta, Phillip & Rod

4 tons excavator user
Says online that it gives out 11000 pounds of force and we believe it! This guy is definitely made to work hard! Our excavator is around 4 tons so at the lower end of the capacity for this attachment but it still seems to handle it well.

New shed prep
Helped prepare the ground for a new shed, and it created a solid foundation in no time. Everything was solid and easy to level after packing down.

compactor review
I had the opportunity to use the TMG-ECP21 compactor for a foundation project, and it performed quite well. We bought this next model up to be more suited for our needs and couldn’t be happier with its performance. Simple and easy to use.

Review for ecp41
Delivered excellent results on a large commercial project. Sitting patiently in our yard for its next use. Saved so much time compared to our last few jobs where we had a small handheld compactor for the whole thing.

Compact review ecp41
Used first to firm up our roads that connect the barns. Then redid the driveway. Made pad for a new garage. Found lots of uses for it and still going strong. No leaking or anything yet. Great quality! Recommend!

Powerful unit
The compactor's impulse force and compaction depth were truly impressive! Allowed for efficient and thorough soil compaction. The quick change design worked well and further simplified everything. Really happy with it.
