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.
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.
