BravePro Forward Plate Compactor | 16-Inch Commercial Series
The Heavy-Hitting Solution for Gravel Drives and Timber Pads
Building a pole barn or running a new fence line starts with the dirt. If the ground isn't solid, your posts will eventually lean, and your concrete slabs will crack. The Brave 16" Plate Compactor BRPFP135H provides the extra impact needed to lock gravel, sand, and mixed soil together, creating a base that supports the heavy weight of timber structures and machinery without settling over time.
At the core of this machine is the commercial-grade Honda GX160 engine. Professionals rely on this motor because it starts easily on the first pull, even on cold mornings at a remote jobsite. It delivers consistent power to the vibratory unit, ensuring the plate keeps hitting hard throughout the entire day without overheating or stalling under load.
This unit steps up performance significantly, delivering approximately 2,697 pounds of centrifugal force. That is nearly 2,700 pounds of pressure driving air voids out of the ground with every pass. For landowners prepping a driveway for logging trucks or a foundation for a firewood processor, this level of density is essential to prevent ruts and shifting.
Versatility is built right into the design. The Brave 16" Plate Compactor BRPFP135H comes standard with an integrated water tank and sprinkler bar. This system is a lifesaver during dry summer months, keeping dust down so you can breathe while you work, or preventing hot asphalt from sticking to the plate during driveway repairs.
Despite its heavy-hitting performance, this compactor is designed to be managed by a single operator. It includes a fold-down wheel kit that lets you roll the unit off your trailer and into position without needing a second person or a machine to lift it. The 16-inch plate offers a great balance, covering more ground per pass than smaller units while still fitting into standard trenches.
Brave engineered this tool to withstand the vibration it creates. The engine and handle are isolated with heavy-duty shock mounts that stop the shaking from reaching your hands. This reduces operator fatigue, allowing you to work longer and finish the job faster. It is a solid investment for any crew that needs professional-grade compaction for fences, foundations, and access roads.
