The Wacker Neuson BPS1550BW is a heavy-duty single-direction plate compactor with an integrated water sprinkler system, making it ideal for asphalt compaction, base layers, and block paving preparation. The wide 500 mm base plate and 15 kN compaction force deliver maximum productivity, while the water system ensures clean surface results on hot mix applications.
This model features a 9 mm thick cast iron base plate designed for extended service life and minimal marking on turns. The integrated 10.4 L water tank is seamlessly built into the frame, with flow control for the sprinkler bar to suit different site conditions. The vibration-isolated handle and low HAV level enhance user comfort, while maintenance-free components reduce operating costs.
