Description
Zero exhaust emissions and instant push-button starting define the battery platform on the Milwaukee MX FUEL Plate Compactor. This cordless machine packs a twenty-inch cast iron plate for indoor slabs and deep underground pipe trenches. Electric motor power eliminates gas mix headaches. Run time drops when pushing through wet, heavy subgrade gravel without pause.
High-grade ductile iron forms the 20-inch base plate to handle abrasive dirt contact without excessive wear. A brushless Milwaukee POWERSTATE electric motor draws power from high-capacity 72V lithium battery packs. Sealed aluminum gearbox housings enclose the internal exciter components to keep out dust. Net unboxed weight with two batteries installed sits at 200 lbs with an operating footprint of 20 inches wide by 24 inches long. No engine belts require replacement.
Key Features of Milwaukee MXF220-2HD
Indoor general contractors buy Milwaukee MXF220-2HD systems when commercial plate compactor pricing balances against costly carbon monoxide trench ventilation. The machine compacts base stone inside hospitals, basements, and enclosed warehouse expansions.
- Twenty-inch wide cast ductile plate delivers 4950 lbs of vertical compaction force into subsoils.
- Brushless electric motor eliminates pull cords, spark plugs, carburetors, and routine engine oil drains.
- Dual battery bay runs two MX FUEL REDLITHIUM HD12.0 batteries in parallel for extended trench runtimes.
- Directional control switch allows multi-speed travel across uneven base rock and sand.
- Folding guide handle locks upright to save valuable floor space inside service vans.
- ONE-KEY tracking hardware provides tool location and inventory management through smart device apps.
- Integrated roll cage creates multi-point hoist loops for crane rigging down into foundation holes.
Cordless Dynamic Force Test
Dynamometer bench testing measures an exciter output of 4500 vibrations per minute under full electrical load. Compaction force peaks at 4950 lbs on solid foundation pads. Forward travel velocity achieves 60 feet per minute across compacted gravel beds. Motor draw spikes to 48 amps when striking unyielding bedrock or heavy wet soil pockets. Gearbox casing temperatures top out at 145 degrees Fahrenheit after running two full battery charges back to back. Spindle seals prevent all grit entry into internal exciter shafts.
Enclosed Trench Handling Considerations
Push-button ignition lets workers start the unit inside unventilated trenches without breathing engine fumes. Handle vibration remains muted due to thick rubber isolation bushings at the pivot points. Do not buy this unit for all-day continuous highway road builds without multiple high-output battery banks.
- Wipe battery housing terminals clean of fine dust before inserting fresh power packs.
- Grease the handle pivot pins every fifty hours to preserve folding action.
- Inspect the cast plate perimeter for rock wedging along the side skirts.
Factory Warranty Inclusions
Milwaukee protects this machine with a 2-Year commercial tool warranty and a 2-Year warranty on the MX FUEL batteries. The kit crate contains the plate compactor, two MX FUEL REDLITHIUM HD12.0 battery packs, one MX FUEL dual-bay charger, and technical operator instruction manuals.
