When standard compaction isn't enough, this 353 lb machine delivers the crushing force required for structural foundations. The Beton Trowel 17 Inch Reversible Plate Compactor is engineered to bridge the gap between light utility plates and heavy ride-on rollers. Generating a massive 6,071 lbs of centrifugal force, it drives air voids out of deep soil lifts and locks aggregate bases tight, ensuring your project sits on stable ground.
The primary advantage of this unit is its hydraulic reversing mechanism. Unlike mechanical systems that can be jerky or hard to engage, the hydraulic lever on this machine offers fingertip control. You can transition seamlessly from forward to reverse, allowing for spot compaction on stubborn areas or easy maneuvering out of tight trenches. This agility makes a heavy machine feel surprisingly nimble in the hands of a skilled operator.
Powering this heavy-duty system is the Honda GX200 engine. Beton Trowel stepped up from the smaller GX160 to this 6.5 horsepower model to ensure the unit has ample torque. This extra power maintains a consistent vibration frequency of 5,400 VPM, even when the plate is under heavy load in cohesive soils. Reliability is guaranteed with Honda's proven easy-start technology.
Durability is critical when dealing with over 3 tons of impact force. That is why the base plate is constructed from ductile iron rather than standard steel. Ductile iron offers superior flexibility and wear resistance, preventing the base from cracking under the stress of daily operation. The throttle assembly is also cast aluminum, eliminating the breakage common with plastic levers on job sites.
Efficiency on the job site is maximized by the machine's travel speed. Capable of moving at 82 feet per minute, the Beton Trowel 17 Inch Reversible Plate Compactor covers significant ground quickly. It is also designed to handle difficult terrain, capable of climbing and compacting on grades up to 35%, making it suitable for steep driveways and embankments.
Transport and safety are built into the frame design. The fully enclosed roll cage features a central hoist hook recess, allowing you to easily lift the 353 lb unit with a crane or excavator. This frame also protects the engine from falling debris, while the cast aluminum belt guard shields the clutch system from dust and heat, extending the life of your drive components.
Hydraulic Direction Control
Uses a hydraulic reversing system rather than a cable-driven one, providing smoother transitions and higher reliability when switching between forward and reverse travel in tight spots.
6,071 lbs of Compaction Force
Delivers nearly triple the hitting power of a standard 17-inch forward plate, allowing you to meet density specifications on deeper layers of soil and gravel with fewer passes.
Honda GX200 Engine
Powered by the upgraded Honda GX200 (6.5 HP) engine, which offers higher torque and displacement than the GX160 to handle the increased weight and vibration requirements.
Ductile Iron Base
Manufactured with a heavy-duty ductile iron base plate that provides exceptional resistance to fracture and abrasive wear compared to cheaper stamped steel alternatives.
Enclosed Roll Cage
Features a robust tubular steel frame that wraps around the engine to prevent crushing damage during transport and includes a central lifting point for easy hoisting.
Cast Aluminum Components
Equipped with a cast aluminum belt guard and throttle lever, replacing the plastic parts found on competitor models to ensure longevity in harsh construction environments.
High-Speed Productivity
Engineered to travel at up to 82 feet per minute while climbing slopes of 35%, allowing contractors to maintain high productivity rates even on challenging terrain.
