Wacker Plate Hire FAQs
What is a wacker plate used for?
A wacker plate compacts hardcore, gravel and sub-base material, making it essential for patios, paving and driveways.
Can I use a compactor on soil?
Wacker plates are best for compacting solid sub-base materials rather than loose garden soil. For soil preparation, a rotivator is usually more suitable.
Is the compactor petrol powered?
Yes — our wacker plate is Honda GX160 powered, reliable and professional grade.
How easy is a wacker plate to operate?
Wacker plates are designed to be straightforward to operate. They are ideal for DIY, landscaping and general construction projects when used according to the operating instructions.
How heavy is the machine?
Wacker plates are heavy-duty machines. Delivery is recommended unless you have suitable transport.
