Why Choose FRD-Furukawa Plate Compactors?
High Impulse Force — Up to ~21,000 lbs of impulse force on larger models (HP 210 II), plus consistent impact performance across the HP line.
Uniform Vibration Rate — All HP models operate around 2,000 cycles per minute, offering steady compaction and dependable cycle consistency.
Hydraulic-Driven Boom Mounted — Designed for carrier machines, these compactor/ drivers mount on the boom of excavators/backhoes/mini-excavators, giving reach, control, and power. Hydraulic motors with features like cross-over check valves help protect the carrier.
Narrow Trench Friendly — Smaller models like the HP35ME (12″ width) are built for tight spaces where trench boxes or walk-behind compactors are inefficient or inaccessible.
Rugged Construction — Hardened steel plates, durable booms, and shock-absorbing features protect both the tool and the carrier during high-stress operations.

| HP135 II | ~ 13,500 lbs | 28″ | 28″ × 40″ | ~ 1,335 lbs | 30 GPM |
| HP210 II | ~ 21,000 lbs | 34″ | 34″ × 46″ | ~ 2,150 lbs | 48 GPM |
Impulse force is the peak force delivered during each vertical compaction strike. Higher impulse helps compact heavier materials or deeper fill. In the FRD HP series, it ranges from ~3,000 lbs (HP35ME) up to ~21,000 lbs (HP210 II).
Yes. FRD includes rubber shock absorbers and hydraulic check valves to reduce vibration transmission into the excavator or carrier arm, helping extend service life.
For narrow trenches or confined spaces, lighter & narrower models like the HP35ME are ideal. For broader foundation slabs or larger footprint compaction, the HP135 II or HP210 II offer more force and plate area.
Depending on the model: pressures are typically in the 1,800-2,000 PSI range, with hydraulic flow varying from ~7.5 GPM up to ~48 GPM. Match your carrier’s hydraulic output accordingly.
Yes. FRD offers different hanger brackets like SwitchHitch, Floating Boss, or OEM pin configurations to simplify mounting. Many HP models can accept optional bolt-on top caps or brackets.
