The Wacker Neuson BPS1340A vibratory plate delivers 13 kN centrifugal force for compacting suitable soil and asphalt materials. Combined with a vibration frequency of 98 Hz, this provides defined performance figures for contractors comparing petrol plate compactors. Farm and Fleet Services sells the BPS1340A across Cornwall and Devon, helping customers explore Wacker Neuson equipment for ground preparation, landscaping and surface maintenance projects.
Its 400 mm working width and listed forward travel speed of 26 metres per minute support coverage across the working area. The manufacturer states an area capacity of 624 square metres per hour. This is a specification reference rather than a guaranteed site output, because actual productivity depends on materials, required passes, access and the arrangement of the job.
For buyers, the benefit is a clear combination of compaction force, plate width and travel speed that can be assessed against specific requirements. Choosing suitable equipment and working methods helps prepare a consistent base for subsequent stages of construction. Discuss your intended materials and workload with Farm and Fleet Services before purchasing. Our team can help you enquire about the Wacker Neuson BPS1340A single-direction vibratory plate, its specifications and availability for groundworks and asphalt compaction across the South West.
Accurate steering makes a difference when working around boundaries, following a planned route or turning within a smaller area. The Wacker Neuson BPS1340A single-direction vibratory plate features a guide handle designed to respond precisely to operator movements. This gives contractors a practical means of controlling the machine’s direction during soil and asphalt compaction. Farm and Fleet Services sells the BPS1340A across Cornwall and Devon.
The manufacturer highlights the turning ability of the BPS series, including comfortable manoeuvring on fresh asphalt. This helps operators adjust their working line and move around the shape of the project. Because the BPS1340A travels in one direction, suitable space for turning remains an important consideration when planning access and deciding how to complete each section of work.
The specification sheet records an average hand-arm vibration value of 4.6 m/s², measured to EN 500-4. This supports equipment comparison, although exposure during use depends on operating conditions and time spent working. Responsive steering and the stated vibration performance are useful considerations when assessing operator handling. Contact Farm and Fleet Services about purchasing this Wacker Neuson petrol plate compactor and discussing whether its handling characteristics suit your construction, landscaping or asphalt maintenance requirements throughout Cornwall and Devon today.


The Wacker Neuson BPS1340A plate compactor features angular side edges on its baseplate to help achieve neat finishes alongside kerbs. This design detail is useful where the compacted surface meets a defined boundary and careful positioning matters. Available from Farm and Fleet Services, the BPS1340A offers contractors across Cornwall and Devon a petrol vibratory plate designed for soil and asphalt applications.
The manufacturer describes the BPS series as producing clean finishes without marks when moving and turning on fresh asphalt. Its handling characteristics allow the operator to guide the plate through changes in direction while maintaining attention to the surface. Combined with the responsive guide handle, the baseplate shape supports controlled movement and accurate work along edges within the working area.
A 400 mm wide baseplate gives buyers a clear measurement when assessing coverage and access beside kerbs or across smaller surfaces. The benefit is a machine that combines compaction capability with features focused on finishing and control. Material suitability and correct operating methods remain essential to achieving the required result. Farm and Fleet Services sells the Wacker Neuson BPS1340A single-direction plate compactor and can discuss specifications, engine options and availability for asphalt maintenance, landscaping and ground preparation projects locally.

A compact footprint helps contractors assess how a plate compactor will fit into their working area. The Wacker Neuson BPS1340A has a baseplate measuring 599 mm long and 400 mm wide, with an overall width of 400 mm. Farm and Fleet Services sells this single-direction vibratory plate for customers across Cornwall and Devon seeking equipment for soil compaction, landscaping and asphalt maintenance work.
The manufacturer lists an operating weight of 67 kg and a baseplate thickness of 8 mm. These figures provide useful reference points when comparing machine construction and planning handling arrangements. The combination of plate dimensions and weight should be considered alongside compaction force, material requirements and site access, helping buyers assess the complete machine rather than relying on one headline specification.
The listed machine height, cover frame height and under clearance are each 663 mm. Check the supplied configuration and required working space when planning storage, transport and access to your project. Appropriate lifting and handling arrangements are still necessary for moving the equipment. Speak to Farm and Fleet Services about the Wacker Neuson BPS1340A petrol plate compactor, including its dimensions, specifications and availability, to choose equipment suited to your construction or landscaping workload across the South West.
The Wacker Neuson BPS1340A specification sheet lists two Honda petrol engine options: the GX120-UT3-QX-W2-SD and GX160-UH2-QW-X2-SD. Both use a single-cylinder, four-stroke design with air cooling and recoil starting. Farm and Fleet Services sells the BPS1340A vibratory plate and can help customers across Cornwall and Devon confirm the engine configuration supplied before ordering their Wacker Neuson compaction equipment for outdoor work.
The Honda GX120 has a displacement of 118 cm³, effective power of 2.6 kW and operating power of 2.1 kW. Its fuel tank holds 2.5 litres, with listed consumption of 1 litre per hour. The GX160 has a displacement of 163 cm³, effective power of 3.1 kW and operating power of 2.9 kW, with a 3.6 litre tank and listed consumption of 0.8 litres per hour.
Showing these options separately helps buyers compare the correct engine details and plan fuel provision. Actual fuel consumption varies with operating conditions, so the listed figures should not be treated as guaranteed runtime calculations. Petrol power allows outdoor compaction without a mains electricity supply. Contact Farm and Fleet Services for BPS1340A purchasing enquiries, engine confirmation and availability, with practical guidance for construction, groundworks and landscaping customers throughout Cornwall, Devon and the surrounding South West.
