Product Information

More so than most other garden power tools, vibrations play a large part in the operation of the compactor plate. It’s important to consider what system is in place on each model for damping these vibrations. It’s probably not enough just to have a soft grip on the handle. Look for an anti-vibration system that’s built into the unit. The best option is vibration-isolated handles for steering. Transport and storage As mentioned above, the size of the engine (in petrol-powered compactors) determines how powerful the unit can compact the ground. The petrol compactors in this review range from 79cc to 196cc, with a few choices in between. Personally, I think how reliable the engines are is more important, this is a common complaint, especially from users who don’t have much experience with petrol engines. Compaction depth I also like the heavy-duty vibration-dampening system that’s built into this unit too, the vibrations don’t travel to the handle too much. Also lessening the effect of vibrations on you and adding to your comfort is the soft padding on the top handle. Plus it’s more comfortable to grip than straight metal. It works to a depth of 250 mm and travels at 25 m / min. This makes it fairly efficient across large areas. Power – the power range covered in this review is considerable, with everything from a couple of HP to more than five, and the more powerful, the more capable. Of course, the more powerful models also tend to be heavier, which brings us to…

The only downside is the bolt that holds the engine speed control onto the handle is not great and we aren’t really sure why they don’t fix this. It’s easy enough, add a washer and M5 nut so that you can tighten it up properly onto the handle. They cost pennies at B&Q if you don’t have a few spare and are worth doing. Powered by a 130W electric induction motor means no harmful fumes are emitted (unlike petrol-powered compactors) - making it ideal for use in enclosed spaces. When measuring the size of the machine, make sure to consider both the width and the length of the plates. Domestic & Commercial Cleaning– We have everything from Carpet Cleaners and Floor Scrubber Hire to Vacuum Cleaner Hire available.

It is a highly reliable, portable, quiet, and low maintenance power unit with a vibration damper system for increased user comfort.And more convenience is found with the foldable handle. This flips down to let you store the compactor upright in a smaller storage space and because this is a relatively heavy piece of garden equipment (50kg) you, of course, have the wheels which I’ve already mentioned. Pros Hydraulic plate compactors have a hydraulic motor that powers the process. They are often used for the compaction of foundations and in trench work.

The shortened base plate allows this model to run with improved compaction and manoeuvrability, while the finish is vastly superior to other models. It runs with 12500 N centrifugal force and a 20 m / min travel speed.

Compactor plates are tools used to compact certain materials, usually either soil or gravel. They compact the material which makes the ground stable and firm, essential if you’re going to be laying foundations or pavings. This compactor plate is electric powered which gives it a number of advantages over petrol models. It’s powered by a 780 W induction motor which means no harmful fumes are emitted. This makes it ideal for enclosed spaces, and it’s a lot lighter than its petrol competitors at 26 kg.
