Background
The Wacker Compactor Plate VP1340AW (2016) has a water tank and a Honda engine. It is designed for ground surface compaction. The compactor plate exerts a force on the ground using a large steel plate that rapidly vibrates.
There are several different types of WP models with varying technical specifications. Wacker Compactor Plates are specialized for compacting asphalt and light mixed soils, as well as compacting over interlocking paving stones.
The center-mounted control handle and specially shaped base plate enable WP plates to be maneuvered and turned. The heavy-duty design is ideally suited for professional use when compacting mixed soil subbases, walkways, roads, and parking lots and for asphalt finishes. With the wheelset accessory, the WP plates can be easily moved around the job site by one person.
