Milwaukee Tool 49-49-2030 Plate Compactor Paver Pad Kit

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE TOOL 49-49-2030 is a 20 inch plate compactor paver pad kit designed to protect paver surfaces during compaction work. Made from rigid polyurethane, this pad kit mounts directly to a plate compactor and acts as a buffer between the compactor plate and the paver surface, reducing the risk of surface damage, chipping, or scuffing during installation and compaction runs. The kit includes mounting bars and all necessary hardware for a complete installation. At 10.4 pounds, the assembly is manageable for a single technician. This kit is suited for hardscape installation crews working with concrete pavers, brick, or similar unit masonry products.

This pad kit is used in residential and commercial hardscape applications where plate compactors are needed to seat and level pavers after placement. It is most commonly deployed during the final compaction pass on paver patios, walkways, driveways, and retaining wall cap installations where direct steel plate contact would mar finished surfaces. Landscape contractors and hardscape installers are the primary users of this product.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style accessory pad kit for 20 inch plate compactors. Specific compactor model compatibility should be verified against MILWAUKEE TOOL documentation prior to installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by landscape contractors or hardscape crews familiar with plate compactor operation and maintenance. Power down and disconnect the compactor from any fuel or ignition source before attaching the pad kit. Use the included M5 hex key and hardware to secure mounting bars and the pad assembly per the manufacturer torque sequence. Verify all fasteners are fully seated before operating the compactor.
