Third Coast Equipment SP140H Single Direction Plate Compactor Honda GX160 Engine 148lb Ductile Cast Iron Base 5.5 HP Asphalt Soil Gravel Vibratory Tamper

Maximize Surface Density and Operator Comfort with the Professional-Grade SP140H Vibratory Plate Compactor

The Third Coast Equipment SP140H Single Direction Plate Compactor is a high-efficiency compaction solution engineered for contractors who require precision and durability in soil and asphalt applications. Powered by the industry-standard Honda GX160 5.5 HP engine, this 148 lb machine delivers a formidable 2,473 lbf of centrifugal force, making it ideal for foundation preparation, utility trenching, and residential paving. Its specialized ductile cast iron base plate offers superior tensile strength and energy transfer compared to standard steel plates, ensuring a perfectly level and stable finish. Whether you are backfilling excavations or prepping a fresh driveway, the SP140H provides the aggressive vibratory force needed to eliminate air pockets and achieve maximum material density.

Designed with the operator in mind, the SP140H features a premium ductile cast iron base that naturally absorbs high-frequency vibrations, significantly reducing hand-arm fatigue during long shifts. This model is equipped with a high-capacity removable water tank and an easy-open water cap featuring a built-in garden hose holder, making it a versatile tool for both granular soil compaction and smooth asphalt finishing. The streamlined 14.6-inch plate width allows for elite maneuverability in tight corners and narrow pathways where larger rollers cannot reach. Built to withstand the rigors of the modern job site, the Third Coast Equipment SP140H combines rugged American-inspired engineering with the world-renowned reliability of Honda power to deliver consistent, professional-grade results every time.

Key Features

Specifications

Pro-Tip: When compacting asphalt with the SP140H, always ensure the water tank is flowing adequately to the spray bar. This creates a thin moisture barrier that prevents the hot mix from sticking to the ductile iron plate, ensuring a smooth, "mirror" finish without the risk of tearing the asphalt mat.
