Frequently Asked Questions
Have a Question? We are here to help
What type of work is the BOMAG BP 10/30 designed for?
The BP 10/30 is engineered for light to medium compaction tasks on earthworks, asphalt and paving projects.
Its compact footprint and powerful forward vibratory action make it ideal for trench backfill, patch repairs, landscaping base consolidation and confined-space work where larger plate compactors struggle to fit.
BOMAG’s quality design ensures reliable performance on sand, gravel and non-cohesive soils with excellent manoeuvrability for everyday site use.
What are the main advantages of the BP 10/30’s lightweight design?
Weighing around 51 kg, the BP 10/30 is the lightest in BOMAG’s BP Series, making it incredibly easy to lift, transport and manoeuvre — even in tight spaces.
This light weight reduces fatigue for operators, simplifies loading into vans or trailers, and speeds up site tasks without compromising compaction quality. Its foldable handle further enhances portability, saving time on projects.
What materials can the BP 10/30 effectively compact?
The BP 10/30 plate compactor excels on sand, gravel and mixed non-cohesive soils — typical materials encountered in landscaping, paving, driveway bases, service trenches and asphalt patching.
Its design provides reliable surface consolidation, helping create a stable base for subsequent construction or finishing tasks.
How does the BP 10/30 protect operators during use?
BOMAG incorporates a vibration-insulated handle system that helps reduce hand-arm vibration (HAV), improving operator comfort and safety on long shifts.
Additionally, the fully enclosed V-belt guard protects both machines and operators from moving parts, and ergonomic features make control intuitive and secure.
Can the BP 10/30 be customised for different applications?
Yes — optional accessories such as a spray bar kit, transport wheels and highly wear-resistant plastic mats can be added to suit specific tasks. Spray bars help prevent asphalt sticking during hot surface work, while mats protect finished paving stones from marks and damage, enhancing versatility.
Is the BP 10/30 easy to transport and store?
Absolutely. Its lightweight build and foldable guide handle make the BP 10/30 very easy to transport in vans, trailers or atop plant vehicles. The compact dimensions also allow for efficient storage when not in use, helping optimise plant room space.
What maintenance does the BP 10/30 require?
Routine maintenance includes checking and replacing engine oil, inspecting air filters, ensuring the base plate is clean, and examining belts and vibration components for wear.
Following BOMAG’s recommended service intervals and using genuine parts helps extend service life and maximise uptime.
Where does the BP 10/30 perform best compared to larger plates?
Due to its small size and responsive handling, the BP 10/30 performs exceptionally well in confined or awkward spaces, such as alongside walls, in trenches or on small paved areas. Larger plate compactors with wider bases can struggle in these areas, so the BP 10/30 offers superior flexibility without losing compaction effectiveness.
