Plate Compactors

At BTE we offer the full range of BOMAG Plate Compactors but are most commonly asked for plates are: 

BVP 10/30 - 32cm working width, 51kg operating weight

BP 12/35 - 35cm working width, 67kg operating weight

BP20/45 - 45cm working width, 92kg operating weight

With constant work to improve products, BOMAG have released the new and impressive BP series of Plate Compactors in summer of 2025. 

Some of the old models have been replaced and here is a break down: 

The BVP 10/30 - back by popular demand but now with a new engine! 

The BP 12/35 replaces the BP 10/35 and BVP 10/36

The BP15/40 and BP20/45 have replaced the BVP18/45

This has made the BOMAG plate compactor range more streamlined and versatile to keep our customers working to their best. 

The BOMAG plate compactors design is streamlined to make them as light as possible whilst still having top performance. 

The plates range from 50kg all the way to 125kg. 

The reversing plates are slightly bigger and range from 125kg to 250kg. 

Unlike the standard plate compactors which are single direction and only move forward, the reversing plate compactors can move both forwards and backwards. 

This is very useful for when compaction demands on site increase and you have larger areas to cover. Ideal for small to medium construction sites, for earthworks, asphalt and block paving

The best option depends on your job size and ground type.

Forward plate compactors are ideal for small to medium tasks like compacting patios or patching trenches. They're lightweight, easy to manoeuvre, and perfect for tight spots.

Reversible plate compactors offer more power and flexibility, allowing forward and backward motion—ideal for deeper compaction and larger areas.

BOMAG’s reversible models provide excellent performance on soil, hardcore, and granular materials.

At BTE, we stock both types to suit different contractor needs, and our team can help you choose based on your project.

Servicing intervals vary by use, but as a guide, compactors should be serviced every 50–100 hours of operation.
