Bomag

The new BVP Series single-directional vibratory plates from Bomag include the BVP 10/36 (pictured) and BVP 18/45 models. Designed for a variety of jobs from soil compaction to asphalt, to pavers and patios, the base plate offers extra width for compaction below fences or boundaries. An optional Vulcolan mat helps prevent damage to paving stones or bricks. A water tank and sprinkler system are offered as options. Powered by air-cooled Honda gasoline engines, they feature an engine protection frame to help prevent damage.

Wacker Neuson

Wacker Neuson's new remote-controlled reversible plate, model DPU 130, produces 29,225 pounds of centrifugal force. The DPU 130 is operated by the company's smart-control infrared remote control, enabling the operator to fully control the unit without being exposed to hand-arm vibrations, exhaust fumes, dust or noise. The smart control's recognition sensor automatically stops the machine as soon as the safe distance between the operator and machine falls below two meters. Powered by a liquid-cooled, 33-hp Lombardini diesel engine, the DPU 130 weighs 2,612 pounds, has an operating width of 47.2 inches and can compact up to 24,025 square feet per hour.

Volvo

The Volvo DD22 and DD24 (pictured) double-drum asphalt compactors are designed for light- and medium-duty applications. The DD22 has a drum width of 39 inches and an operating weight of 5,400 pounds. The DD24 has a drum width of 47 inches and an operating weight of 5,725 pounds. The front and rear drums on both compactors protrude beyond the frame, making it easier to compact around obstructions without the chassis getting in the way and giving operators a clear view of drum edges. The propulsion system features hydrostatic drive to both drums in the series to provide a quality mat.
