Rent a Wacker Plate

This Whacker Plate is an ideal solution for various maintenance and repair tasks. Whether you're compacting hardcore, sand, gravel, soil, or tarmac for preparing a smooth surface to lay artificial grass, establishing a pathway or driveway, filling a pothole, or setting up a greenhouse base, this equipment will effortlessly complete the job. The Wacker plate boasts a lightweight design yet offers robust compaction force, ensuring efficient completion of tasks in minimal time. Additionally, it features low hand-arm vibration to ensure safe and comfortable usage during extended periods of operation. With easy manoeuvrability and control, thanks to its baseplate that prevents digging in when dragged or turned, this vibrating plate simplifies operation. Please Note: Fuel is not included with this item. As per regulations, we cannot supply petrol; however, it can be conveniently purchased from any petrol station using an approved petrol storage container. Specifications: Engine/Fuel: Recoil start 4 stroke unleaded petrol • Plate Size ( W x L ): 320 x 574 mm • Compaction Force: 11kN • Engine Power (hp/kW): 3.0 hp / 2.2kW • Travel Speed: 20 m/min • Weight: 59/73 kg (depending on the available model) Key Points: You must wear all round protection grade 1 goggles up to the EN 166.B standard. For less hazardous work grade 2 spectacles can be worn but I personally recommend the absolute maximum safety wear to be safe. Protection required against high noise levels: wear earplugs (I recommend Lazer Lite) are suitable for short bursts, but try the 3M noise cancelling headphones for maximum exposure. If you need to use your hands again - wear hand protection! You are required to wear safety footwear by legal standards, up to BS EN 345 for toe protection with this item. There is some vibration risk - keep tools away from this whacker plate. Sometimes tools can be made vulnerable to damage, just by being near the whacker plate when it is in use. I recommend leaving up to 2 hours if the items have reached their vibration Exposure Limit Value (ELV). You will need a van/truck at least to collect this item, but I can organise delivery for £9.99. As I mentioned earlier, many people ask why it's empty of fuel, this is because I'm not allowed to rent fuel out. There are safety restrictions.
