engcon's new vibratory plate maximizes efficiency and reduces risk of personal injury

As the next step in engcon's efforts to turn the excavator into a tool carrier, the group now introduces a newly developed vibratory plate for excavators in the 12- to 26-ton class. The PC6000 vibratory plate has been optimized for use under a rotary attachment, increasing excavator efficiency and reducing the risk of personal injury.

It is increasingly common to use a vibratory plate on an excavator for soil compression, which reduces the need for the use of other machines or tools. At the same time, this development contributes to increased safety because no people need to be present in the construction pit, eliminating the risk of accidents due to collapse caused by the vibrations. In addition, no potentially dangerous lifting operations are required to get manually operated vibrating plates into place. Such aspects significantly increase workplace safety, a concern close to engcon's heart. Another important functional advantage of a vibratory plate under the rotary tilt is the enlargement of the working range as the implement can be both rotated and angled to follow the entire surface.

"This vibratory plate supports the deployment of the crane. The operator can tilt and rotate the vibratory plate to compress around slopes and pits without constantly having to move the machine. The excavator gains another task," says Johan Johansson, designer and project manager for the new vibratory plate.
