Plate Compactors (4)

Plate compactors for compacting soil, gravel and paving bases

Plate compactors help prepare firm, load-bearing bases for paved areas, paths, driveways, yards and smaller building projects. They are used to compact soil, sand, gravel and crushed stone, making the surface more even and stable.

What to look for in plate compactors

Consider the working area, material, how often you will use it, plate size, weight and manoeuvrability. Lighter models are handy in tighter spaces and for smaller jobs, while more powerful plate compactors are better suited to more intensive ground preparation.

• Paving and paths - for preparing the sub-base before laying.
• Yards and open areas - for compacting gravel, sand or crushed stone.
• Building and renovation - as a compact tool for stable foundations.

Use the equipment in line with the manufacturer's instructions and observe the applicable safety requirements.
