Plate Compactor Smart365 LINE 100 — 20 kN Thrust, 96 kg Operating Weight, Model SM-03-160

Plate Compactor Smart365 LINE 100 (model SM-03-160) is a compact, walk-behind compaction machine designed for site preparation and surface consolidation. With a 20 kN compaction force and an operating weight of 96 kg, this unit is intended for compacting soil, gravel and sand in trenches, driveways and paving projects. Its balanced chassis and flat base plate deliver consistent pressure across the contact area to improve load-bearing capacity and reduce settlement on small to medium jobsites.

Advantages

The Smart365 LINE 100 combines a robust compaction force with a moderate operating weight to offer effective consolidation without excessive ground pressure. Its compact dimensions enable access to narrow trenches and confined areas while the steel base plate provides durable contact with granular and cohesive materials. The machine is designed for straightforward operation and low maintenance, helping reduce downtime on repetitive compaction tasks.

Suitable for

• Trench backfill and utility repair
• Driveway and sidewalk subbase consolidation
• Paver bedding and landscaping preparation
• Small road patching and repair works
• Compaction of sand, gravel and mixed soils

Key specifications

• Compaction force: 20 kN for efficient soil densification
• Operating weight: 96 kg for stable compaction performance
• Plate type: flat steel base plate suitable for granular and mixed media
• Machine class: walk-behind plate compactor for small to medium tasks
• Typical applications: trenching, paving preparation, driveway and sidewalk work

How to use

Position the plate compactor on the area to be consolidated and start the engine according to the manufacturer's routine. Guide the machine steadily across the work surface, overlapping each pass slightly to ensure even compaction. For trench work, move the compactor along the trench length with controlled speed and consistent contact. Avoid operating on excessively wet or frozen ground; perform multiple passes as needed until the desired density and level are achieved.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment, including hearing and eye protection, and follow local safety regulations. Check fuel, oil and fasteners before each use. For best results on paving and bedding layers, compact in thin lifts (small depth increments) rather than trying to achieve full compaction in a single pass.
