The MBW GP1600 is a high-performance, lightweight, and robust forward-travel plate compactor designed for efficient compaction of granular soils, sand/gravel mixes, and asphalt. Powered by the reliable Honda GX120QX 4.0HP petrol engine, it ensures consistent operation, making it ideal for small to medium-sized compaction tasks such as patios, driveways, and garage extensions. Its upright, low-vibration handle design provides optimal control and user comfort.
Constructed with durability in mind, the GP1600 features a 410mm x 510mm 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.
