Case 1: Mexico Urban Infrastructure Company
Customer Background
This Mexican client is a medium-sized urban infrastructure company based in Mexico City, with 60+ employees and a focus on municipal pipeline laying, residential community construction and small road renovation. They mainly serve the urban and suburban infrastructure market, undertaking government-led public works and private residential construction projects. With Mexico’s rapid urbanization, the company has been expanding its project scale, but old compaction equipment has become a bottleneck for progress. After searching for excavator mounted vibratory plate compactor and hydraulic vibratory plate compactor online, they chose YG’s products to upgrade their equipment.
Core Difficulties
- Most construction sites are narrow urban areas (between residential buildings, small road sections), and large compactors can’t enter; handheld compactors are inefficient, with only 200 square meters of compaction per day.
- Mexico’s soil is mostly soft clay mixed with gravel, and old equipment has a weak vibration force, leading to uneven compaction and 20% of projects needing rework.
- The company uses mostly 6ton excavators for small projects, but an ordinary excavator vibrating plate can’t match these mini models, causing equipment mismatch.
- High local fuel costs make it urgent to find energy-saving compaction attachments to cut operating expenses.

It also adopts an energy-saving hydraulic design to reduce fuel consumption and is equipped with quick connectors for easy installation on their existing mini excavators.
On-Site Problems & Solutions
During installation, we found two problems: first, the client’s mini excavator hydraulic interface specifications were non-standard, leading to connection difficulties. Our technical team adjusted the interface on-site and customized matching hydraulic hoses, solving the connection problem in 4 hours. Second, local workers were unfamiliar with the energy-saving adjustment function, worrying about affecting the compaction effect. We provided on-site training and simplified operation guidelines, teaching them to adjust vibration parameters according to soil types, and the workers mastered it in one day.
Effects
After being put into use, the company’s compaction efficiency increased by 55%, with daily compaction volume rising from 200 m²㎡ to 310 m²㎡. The original 5-day project cycle was shortened to 3 days, cutting project duration by 40%. The energy-saving hydraulic system reduced fuel consumption by 22% per day, lowering daily operating costs by about 180 Mexican pesos. The compaction pass rate reached 100%, eliminating rework and saving 30% of rework costs. The mini excavator vibratory plate compactor perfectly matched their mini excavators, improving equipment utilization by 45%.

Case 2: Africa (Kenya) Construction Team Case
Customer Background
This Kenyan construction team is a medium-sized engineering enterprise based in Nairobi, with 75 employees, mainly serving the local urban road renovation and rural infrastructure construction market. Their core business includes municipal road edge compaction, pipeline trench backfilling, and small embankment reinforcement, undertaking both government public projects and private community construction projects. The team mainly uses 13-ton excavators for daily construction and has been troubled by inefficient compaction equipment for a long time, which seriously affects project progress and profit margins. After searching for excavator vibratory plate compactor attachments online, they locked in YG’s YG-50 model, which perfectly matches their excavator tonnage.
Core Difficulties the Customer Faced
- The team’s excavators lacked matching compaction attachments; using handheld compactors for trench and road edge compaction was inefficient, with only 180 square meters of compaction per day.
- Local soil is a mixture of loess and gravel, and old handheld equipment has a weak compaction force, leading to uneven ground and 25% of projects needing secondary rework.
- Switching between excavator buckets and other compaction tools took 40 minutes each time, delaying construction and increasing labor costs.
- They needed a durable hydraulic vibratory plate compactor that could adapt to Kenya’s dusty construction environment, with a low failure rate and easy maintenance.

Important Usage Precautions:
- Pre-operation Inspection: Before each use, carefully check the tightness of hydraulic pipes, the fixing state of the compaction plate, and the working condition of the vibration motor. Ensure there is no oil leakage, loose bolts, or damage to the plate to avoid failure during operation.
- Correct Installation: Use the quick connector to connect the YG excavator vibrating plate to the excavator’s arm firmly, and ensure the hydraulic pipes are connected correctly. After installation, test run for 2–3 minutes to check whether the vibration is normal and whether there is abnormal noise.
- Standard Compaction Operation: When compacting, keep the compaction plate closely attached to the ground, and move forward at a uniform speed (about 3–5 meters per minute). Ensure each compaction area overlaps with the previous one by 10–15 cm to avoid missed compaction.
- Avoid Long-term Idle Vibration: Do not run the vibration motor idly for a long time when the compaction plate is not in contact with the ground, which will accelerate the wear of internal components and reduce the service life of the equipment.
- Pay Attention to Working Environment: Avoid working in areas with sharp stones or metal debris, which may scratch or damage the compaction plate. On slopes, ensure the excavator is placed stably, and the compaction angle is adjusted reasonably to prevent slipping.
- Regular Maintenance: Clean the soil, gravel, and other debris from the compaction plate and hydraulic pipes after each use. Check and replace hydraulic oil regularly (every 500 hours of operation), and lubricate the connecting parts to reduce friction.
- Operator Safety Protection: Operators must wear safety helmets, non-slip shoes, and protective gloves during operation. Keep a safe distance from the compaction area to avoid being hit by flying stones or soil.
