A compactor machine of the kind controlled by a pedestrian operator. The machine includes a base plate, an operative unit mounted on the base plate, a support plate, and a main frame. The operative unit causes the base plate to vibrate during use of the machine. The machine also includes a handle by which the operator controls the machine during use. A plurality of damping mounts attach a secondary frame to the main frame at a point distant from the base plate and the handle is mounted on the secondary frame to reduce the transmission of vibrations to an operator holding the handle.
