Solid compaction starts with the right combination of power, speed, and control. The Tomahawk 5.5 HP Honda Vibratory Plate Compactor is built for contractors, landscapers, rental fleets, and property owners who need dependable performance across soil, gravel, asphalt, and hardscape projects.
With a powerful Honda engine, high compaction force, and a compact plate designed for tight spaces, this machine helps crews build stable bases faster and with greater confidence.
Power Through
At the heart of this plate compactor is a 5.5 HP Honda engine designed for demanding jobsite use. It delivers the dependable power needed for repeated compaction work on construction, landscaping, and repair projects.
The machine produces up to 3,000 lbs. of compaction force per square foot at 6,400 vibrations per minute, helping crews achieve dense, stable surfaces with fewer wasted passes.
Compact Deeper
Proper compaction helps reduce air voids, improve soil stability, and support long-lasting structures. This plate compactor is designed to work with cohesive and granular soils, including gravel, sand, silt, clay, and mixed soils.
Tomahawk rates the machine for compaction of cohesive and granular soils and clays up to 22 inches, making it a versatile option for retaining walls, foundations, trenchwork, backfill, and other demanding projects.
Cover Ground
A 17 x 21-inch plate provides a strong balance of coverage and maneuverability. The compact footprint helps operators work around narrow or confined spaces while still covering enough surface area to maintain productivity.
With a travel speed of up to 79 feet per minute, crews can move efficiently through sidewalks, driveways, pathways, trenches, and repair areas without sacrificing compaction performance.
Wheel Kit
Spend less time carrying equipment and more time getting the job done. The optional wheel kit makes it easier to transport your Tomahawk plate compactor between work areas, across the jobsite, or back to your truck. Once you reach the compaction area, move the wheels out of the way and get straight to work.
Applications
A strong finished project starts below the surface. The Tomahawk plate compactor is designed for a wide range of base, subbase, subgrade, and subsoil work where stable ground preparation is essential.
Common applications include retaining walls, footings, foundation projects, landscaping, hardscaping, pipeline work, road repair, trenchwork, and backfill around pools, parks, cemeteries, and golf courses.
Work Confidently
Durable construction helps the machine stand up to repeated use on demanding jobsites. The product is equipped with NSK bearings and is backed by a 3-year Honda engine warranty and a 2-year product warranty.
Tomahawk also lists the machine as CARB and EPA compliant, giving professional users additional confidence when choosing equipment for commercial and residential projects.
