Plate Compactors

Petrol plate compactors require no external power supply as they have their own inbuilt petrol engine making them ideal for working on large external areas. Some plate compactors have a water tank which prevents warm asphalt from sticking to the cold plate of the compactor, a slightly rounded base plate is also advantageous on asphalt limiting the possibility of gouging this soft material and making the machine easier to manoeuvre. Other features of plate compactors can include a cast base plate which tends to be stiffer than steel and can improve compaction performance, anti vibration handles make the compactor more comfortable and safer to use and lifting points and eyes are particularly useful when picking up these heavy machines so they can be transported. Petrol wacker plates are available with various sizes of base plate and compaction force to suit small and larger areas.
