15 kN Compaction Force and 500 mm Working Width

The Wacker Neuson BPS1550Aw vibratory plate delivers 15 kN centrifugal force for compacting suitable soil and asphalt materials. Its 98 Hz vibration frequency and 500 mm working width provide performance figures for contractors comparing compaction equipment. Farm and Fleet Services sells this petrol plate compactor to customers across Cornwall and Devon who need machinery for construction, landscaping and ground preparation projects.

The manufacturer lists a forward travel speed of 25 metres per minute and an area capacity of 750 square metres per hour. These figures help buyers compare coverage potential alongside plate width and compaction force. Actual site productivity depends on access, materials, the required finish and the number of passes, so the listed capacity should be used as a reference when planning work.

For buyers, the benefit is a combination of working width and compaction performance that can be assessed against the intended application. The BPS1550Aw offers a wider plate for covering working areas while retaining steering characteristics designed for controlled movement. Discuss your materials, access and workload with Farm and Fleet Services. Our team can help you enquire about Wacker Neuson BPS1550Aw specifications and availability for soil compaction, asphalt maintenance and groundworks equipment requirements throughout the South West.

 


 

Integrated 8-Litre Water Tank for Asphalt Work

An 8 litre water tank with an efficient sprinkler system is a key feature of the Wacker Neuson BPS1550Aw single-direction vibratory plate. This watering equipment supports asphalt applications by supplying water during compaction. Farm and Fleet Services sells the BPS1550Aw across Cornwall and Devon, giving contractors access to a petrol plate compactor with watering equipment included in the manufacturer’s listed model features.

For asphalt work, keeping the plate appropriately wetted helps limit material sticking to the contact surface. The sprinkler system makes watering part of the machine’s working arrangement, helping the operator manage surface compaction with suitable water provision available. The 8 litre capacity provides a clear reference when considering site water supplies and planning where the machine will be used during the job.

Water requirements depend on the material and operating conditions, so tank capacity should be considered alongside the planned work rather than treated as a guaranteed operating duration. The benefit is having an integrated water supply on a machine designed for soil and asphalt handling. Contact Farm and Fleet Services about purchasing the Wacker Neuson BPS1550Aw vibratory plate, including its watering system, specifications and availability for construction, landscaping and asphalt maintenance projects throughout Cornwall and Devon today.


 

Responsive Steering for Controlled Compaction

Precise steering helps operators position a plate compactor, follow an edge and manage changes in direction. The Wacker Neuson BPS1550Aw features a guide handle designed to respond accurately to steering movements, supporting control on soil and asphalt. Farm and Fleet Services sells this single-direction vibratory plate to contractors and maintenance teams across Cornwall and Devon looking for practical Wacker Neuson compaction equipment.

The manufacturer highlights the turning ability of the BPS series, including manoeuvring on fresh asphalt. Controlled turning helps operators work around the layout of the site and adjust the machine’s working line. As the BPS1550Aw moves in one direction, allowing suitable turning space remains important when assessing access and planning the sequence of passes through each part of the working area.

The model’s technical table lists an average hand-arm vibration value of 6.2 m/s², measured to EN 500-4. This specific figure should guide comparisons rather than the lower value mentioned in the general BPS series description. Actual exposure depends on operating conditions and duration of use. Discuss the BPS1550Aw with Farm and Fleet Services for clear product specifications, purchasing enquiries and availability, helping you assess whether its handling characteristics suit your asphalt compaction, landscaping or ground preparation requirements.


Angular Baseplate Edges for Clean Kerb Finishing

The Wacker Neuson BPS1550Aw plate compactor features angular side edges on its baseplate to help achieve clean finishes beside kerbs. This profile supports careful positioning where a compacted surface meets a defined boundary. Farm and Fleet Services sells the BPS1550Aw for customers across Cornwall and Devon seeking a petrol vibratory plate for soil and asphalt applications with an emphasis on controlled finishing.

The manufacturer describes the BPS series as producing clean finishes without marks when moving and turning on fresh asphalt. Its steering characteristics and baseplate profile help operators manage the machine around the shape of the project. For maintenance work and smaller construction areas, these details are relevant when assessing how equipment will perform beside kerbs and across surfaces requiring a neat finish.

The baseplate measures 599 mm long and 500 mm wide, with a thickness of 9 mm. These dimensions, together with the listed 95 kg operating weight, help buyers compare the machine’s construction and plan handling arrangements. Appropriate access, transport and lifting methods remain important. Speak to Farm and Fleet Services about Wacker Neuson BPS1550Aw specifications and availability to explore whether this single-direction plate compactor suits your construction, asphalt maintenance or landscaping workload throughout the South West.

Honda GX160 Petrol Engine and Fuel Capacity

The Wacker Neuson BPS1550Aw specification sheet identifies a Honda GX160-UH2-QW-X2-SD petrol engine. This single-cylinder, four-stroke engine has a displacement of 163 cm³, air cooling and recoil starting. Farm and Fleet Services sells the BPS1550Aw vibratory plate to customers across Cornwall and Devon who need compaction equipment for construction, landscaping and maintenance applications, with engine details available to discuss before purchasing.

The engine section lists effective power of 3.1 kW at 3,600 rpm and operating power of 2.9 kW at 3,520 rpm. Its 3.6 litre petrol tank provides onboard fuel storage, while listed consumption is 0.8 litres per hour. These figures offer reference points for comparing engine specifications and planning fuel provision, although actual consumption depends on working conditions and machine use.

Petrol power allows outdoor compaction without a mains electricity connection, provided suitable fuel is available. The sheet’s main technical table separately states 3.6 kW, which differs from the engine section and should be confirmed before purchase. Farm and Fleet Services can help you enquire about this discrepancy, the supplied specification and availability.
