Reversible compactors: what are they used for?
Reversible plate compactors are used for the compaction of various types of soil. They are used for the compaction of sub-base for car parks and driveways, laying paving stones, and backfilling trenches. They can be used for various types of road, pathway and car park maintenance work.
The 200 - 270kg compactor (available for hire from Ramirent) is a unique machine on the market, providing full mobility during construction work. Its compact design and high manoeuvrability make it ideal for compacting ditches, footpaths and all other narrow areas. It can also be used for lighter jobs when a thinner layer of soil needs to be well bonded.
The machine has a key start and the locking mechanism of the guide drawbar ensures safe transport. The extremely durable bottom plate performs well even under extreme loads. Handle cushioning and the possibility of side guidance guarantee precise movements and reduce operator fatigue. It is also worth noting that the compactors feature high performance levels with low fuel consumption and low exhaust emissions.
