Wacker Neuson BPS1135A Plate Compactor with Honda Engine Overview The Wacker Neuson BPS1135A is a high-performance, single-direction vibratory plate compactor designed for efficient soil and asphalt compaction. Powered by a reliable Honda engine, this machine offers exceptional handling and manoeuvrability, ensuring clean, mark-free finishes even in confined spaces and along kerbs. Design and Build Quality Constructed with a durable base plate featuring angular side edges, the BPS1135A ensures longevity and effective compaction. The design facilitates precise work along kerbs while preventing tracks on fresh asphalt. The ergonomically designed guide handle responds accurately to steering movements while maintaining low hand-arm vibrations (HAV) of less than 5 m/s², enhancing operator comfort during extended use. Key Technologies and Features Low Hand-Arm Vibration (HAV): Engineered to achieve HAV levels below 5 m/s², reducing operator fatigue and allowing for extended use. Maintenance-Free Components: Features a durable V-belt and permanently lubricated bearings, minimising maintenance requirements and enhancing productivity. Optimised Base Plate Design: The base plate's angular side edges and smooth surface prevent asphalt from sticking, ensuring clean finishes and reducing the need for frequent cleaning. Optional Water Tank: A detachable water tank and sprinkler system enhance performance on asphalt surfaces by preventing material adhesion. (Note: The water tank is an optional accessory and not included with the standard BPS1135B model.)
