Product catalog summary
Overview: MBW has been a leader in vibratory plate technology for over 40 years, providing high-performance, single-direction plates known for productivity and durability.
Key Features: The plates feature high-quality exciters, stress-relieved steel tamping plates, custom-designed centrifugal clutches, and unique combinations of frequency, centrifugal force, amplitude, and mass.
Series Overview:
  • 1400 Series: Portable and economical, suitable for confined areas with lift depths up to 10 inches. Features include a removable handle and optional accessories for asphalt applications.
  • 1800 Series: Lightweight and portable, ideal for small to medium soil applications with lift depths up to 12 inches, available with Honda or Robin engines.
  • AP2000 Series: Designed for asphalt applications, offering optimal frequency, amplitude, and centrifugal force with stress-relieved steel plate housings.
  • 3550 Series: High production compactor with reduced hand/arm vibration and enhanced amplitude.
  • 3000-15 Series: Suitable for confined work areas, providing significant centrifugal force and compaction depths up to 16 inches.
  • GP5500/GP7000 Series: Known for productivity and reliability, suitable for mid to large commercial applications, with the GP7000 designed for heavy-duty applications with deep lifts up to 30 inches.
  • Reversible Plates (GPR Series): Compact and ideal for narrow trenches, featuring a heavy-duty mechanical shifting mechanism.
  • Hydraulic Shifting Reversibles: Address maintenance issues with vented exciter systems and easy-to-service shifting seals, offering forward/reverse travel and spot compaction.
Specifications: Detailed specifications include engine types, operating weights, plate sizes, centrifugal forces, exciter speeds, compaction depths, travel speeds, and compaction areas. Centrifugal force is 60 kN, exciter speed is 4080 vpm for most models, and compaction depth ranges up to 28 inches.
Notes: Specifications are subject to change. Centrifugal force is not an indicator of compaction effectiveness. Recommended lift height should not exceed 12 inches for optimal performance in clean sand with optimum moisture.
Product Information: Models include GPR78, GPR99, and GPR135, categorized as Hydraulic Reversible Plates.

REVERSIBLE GPR65, GPR68, GPR77 MECHANICAL SHIFTING REVERSIBLES The GPR 65, 68 and 77 Series are compact reversible plates ideal for narrow trenches and confined areas. Heavy Duty Shifting The heavy duty mechanical shifting mechanism allows for directional changes at full speed. Endurance testing was terminated at 400,000 shifts without system failure – the best result MBW (and very likely any manufacturer) has ever achieved on a reversible plate shifting design. GPR77 The GPR77 is a 400 lb. reversible plate. The simple yet reliable shifting design lowers acquisition cost, is low maintenance and...

C O M P L E M E N TA RY P R O D U C T GPR78, GPR99 & GPR135 HYDRAULIC REVERSIBLE PLATES MBW’s hydraulic shifting reversible plates solve maintenance problems that have long plagued this product type. MBW exciter systems are vented to allow for discharge of heat generated air pressure before damage to shifting mechanism seals occurs. Worn shifting seals are readily serviced from the outside of the exciter assembly (US Patent, International Patents Pending), eliminating the complicated process of opening and exposing the exciter assembly for service purposes. Maintenance is simplified, service...
