Abstract
A compactor includes a plate, an electric motor coupled to the plate, an exciter coupled to the plate and configured to vibrate the plate in response to receiving torque from the electric motor, a means for transferring torque from the electric motor to the exciter, a battery configured to provide power to the electric motor, and a vibration isolator coupling the battery to the plate.
Claims21
A compactor comprising:
- a plate;
- an electric motor coupled to the plate;
- an exciter coupled to the plate and configured to vibrate the plate in response to receiving torque from the electric motor;
- a means for transferring torque from the electric motor to the exciter;
