Vibratory plate compactors
Caterpillar expands its Cat vibratory plate compactor line with the new CVP28 and CVP55 models and relaunches its CVP16 and CVP40 compactors with new design enhancements.

Well suited for the compaction of soil, sand, gravel and asphalt, the compactors’ flexibility delivers lower investment and maintenance costs for contractors engaging in residential, commercial and industrial work.
The Cat CVP range is performance-matched to Cat machines, covering excavators ranging from the Cat 302.7 to the 313. They offer compaction widths from 12 inches to 26 inches and compact areas ranging from 2 to 5.7 square feet at vibration frequencies from 33.3 to 40 Hz/2,000 to 2,400 vpm. Delivering best-in-class performance, optimized compaction frequency combines with force to drive material particles close together for solid, stable compaction.
Their heavy-duty steel frame delivers maximum power to the ground. Rubber mounts isolate vibrations from the compactor attachment, minimizing vibration feedback to the rest of the machine. The high efficiency gear-type hydro motor is vibration-driven for consistent, reliable power. The design’s access cutouts are laser-cut for easy access to hardware when mounting the top bracket. The compactor is simplified with standard auxiliary hydraulics.
Expanding the flexibility of the CVP range, post and plate driver attachments bolt to the bottom of the CVP28 for specialized applications. All models can be equipped with a backfill blade to help spread out material in the ditch prior to compaction, and a swivel mount rotates 90 degrees in each direction to minimize machine movements.
