The MBW GP12 is a compact, lightweight, and efficient vibratory plate compactor designed for optimal compaction of granular soils, sand/gravel mixes, and asphalt. Powered by the reliable Honda GX120 engine, it delivers consistent performance, making it ideal for small to medium-sized compaction tasks such as patios, driveways, and landscaping projects. Its low-vibration handle design ensures operator comfort and ease of use.
Constructed with durability in mind, the GP12 features a 330mm x 570mm base plate that offers an optimal balance between manoeuvrability and compaction efficiency. The robust construction is complemented by a low-maintenance exciter unit, reducing downtime and servicing costs. The unit's lightweight design enhances portability and ease of transportation around the job site.

Q: What types of projects is the MBW GP12 suitable for?
A: The GP12 is ideal for small to medium-sized compaction tasks such as patios, driveways, landscaping projects, and other confined areas requiring efficient compaction.
Q: Can the GP12 be used on asphalt surfaces?
A: Yes, with the optional water tank kit, the GP12 is suitable for asphalt compaction, preventing the plate from adhering to the hot surface.
Q: What is the benefit of the low-vibration handle design?
A: The low-vibration handle reduces the risk of hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS), enhancing operator comfort and allowing for extended use with less fatigue.
