PTH Compactor
The PTH Compactor is a powerful add-on plate compactor in a 3-unit configuration with hydraulic side shift.
Thanks to its design, the PTH Compactor is particularly suitable for highly efficient compaction in road construction and when creating a roof profile (crowning for better water drainage).
The PTH Compactor can be attached to tractors, Unimogs, wheel loaders, rollers, excavators and other implement carriers.
The powerful vibratory plate
The PTH Compator is characterized in daily use by its simple attachment principle and its solid construction. Roof profiles can be created perfectly by adapting the panels to the path profile.
The strengths of the PTH Compactor are also the particularly low-vibration yet powerful compaction, which allows fewer passes in practice. This prevents possible segregation of the soil.
Thanks to its unique technology, the PTH Compactor is ideally suited for compacting a wide variety of soils and ensures particularly uniform compaction.

TECHNICAL DATA
The unique technology of the PTH Compactor guarantees high-performance compaction results at the highest level with comparatively low power requirements.
The powerful plate compactor is suitable for tractors from 100 hp thanks to its own oil supply on the device.
Sophisticated developments such as the set counter-rotation of the exciter shafts generate a completely vertical vibration and compaction effect, thereby minimizing ambient vibrations.

Frequently Asked Questions About the PTH Compactor
Vibratory plate or walk-behind compactor—which is best suited for road construction?
Hand-guided vibratory plates are designed for small areas and backfilling. For paths over longer distances, a compactor attached to a tractor, wheel loader, or excavator is more efficient: it has a wider working width and can be combined with other work steps—such as grading at the front and compacting at the back. The key factors are the material, layer thickness, and path width.

What equipment is needed for road construction using a tractor?
For the rehabilitation of gravel, forest, and farm roads, a tractor equipped with three attachments is often sufficient: a rock crusher or rock mill for processing the material, a grader or planer for shaping the surface, and a compactor for compaction. The appropriate size depends on the tractor’s power, the road width, and the material.

What is the PTH Compactor used for?
The PTH Compactor is a plate compactor for compacting crushed stone, gravel and processed material in road construction. It is attached directly to tractors and implement carriers and compacts in a single pass after the stone crusher or grader.
Which carrier vehicles are compatible with the Compactor?
The Compactor is mounted on tractors and implement carriers in the rear attachment. It ideally complements the PTH process chain: Ripper → Crusher → Grader → Compactor.
Can the Compactor also be used after the Crusher?
Yes, the Compactor is specially designed to complement the PTH Crusher and Grader. It compacts the material prepared by the crusher into a load-bearing, passable surface.
