Dynapac’s new series of LF forward compaction plates feature improved speed, flexibility and performance. The LF 50 (110-lb. [50 kg] class) and the LF 60 (132-lb. [60 kg] class) are ideal for small soil jobs and narrow trenches. In the 286-lb. (130 kg) class, the LF 130 is designed for heavy-duty soil applications and has the highest compaction performance in the Dynapac range.

Engineered for soil applications and available with a number of options to customize the plates, the new models are approximately 20 percent faster than their predecessors, according to the manufacturer.

The LF series is equipped with Dynapac’s Low-Vib handle, which reduces exposure to hand-arm transmitted vibrations and increases operator comfort. For tight spaces, the handle is aligned with the center of the plate for easy maneuverability. The handle can be raised to a vertical operational position, and then easily folded for transportation and storage.

All models offer a wide variety of optional equipment such as lifting handles, block paving kits and a protection frame suitable for rental applications, all of which makes it possible to customize the machine. On the soil versions, a company can put its own branding on the cover.

All three models feature a Honda engine, and the LF 130 also can be special ordered with a Hatz engine. Field kits are available.
