The MBW GP2000 is a high-performance vibratory plate compactor designed for efficient compaction of granular soils such as sand and gravel. Powered by the dependable Honda GX160 engine, it delivers consistent power and durability for demanding site conditions. Ideal for driveways, patios, and general groundworks, this model excels on lifts up to 31 cm in depth.
The GP2000 features a rugged 510mm x 560mm base plate, constructed from stress-relieved steel to resist cracking under continuous use. Its aluminium exciter housing offers excellent heat dissipation, prolonging the life of internal components. A self-cleaning base design prevents material build-up, ensuring ongoing efficiency and lower maintenance.
