Plate Compactor - Wacker Neuson BPS1340A Honda Engine Overview The Wacker Neuson BPS1340A is a powerful single-direction vibratory plate compactor designed for professionals working with asphalt, granular soils, and sub-base materials. With a 400 mm base plate and robust construction, it offers excellent compaction results and operator comfort across a wide range of construction and repair applications. Design and Build Quality Engineered for durability, the BPS1340A features a solid nodular cast iron base plate and reinforced V-belt drive system. The 8 mm thick base plate resists wear even during extended use on tough surfaces. Its guide handle provides excellent control while isolating vibration, reducing operator fatigue. The plate's angled edges prevent scuffing, allowing smooth direction changes along edges and kerbs. Key Technologies and Features High Compaction Force: Generates 13 kN of centrifugal force, ensuring effective results on a wide variety of materials. Low Hand-Arm Vibration: Designed to reduce HAV exposure to below 5 m/s², enabling safe, extended operation. Angled Base Plate: Prevents marking and allows for tight turns near walls and obstacles without damaging surfaces. Maintenance-Free Bearings: Permanently lubricated components minimise servicing and downtime. Optional Accessories: Compatible with wheel kit and paving pad for improved mobility and surface protection.
