Description
Bobcat FP10.33 Forward Plate Compactor
Its compact size and maneuverability make the Bobcat® FP10.33 forward vibratory plate compactor especially suitable for compaction work in tight-fitting areas.
- A wide range of compaction applications
- Standard water tank and sprinkler system
- Durable Honda engine
- Easy to maintain and transport
Overview:
- Equipped with a durable and efficient Honda engine, the FP10.33 forward plate compact delivers reliable starts, maximum power and low fuel consumption.
- The versatile FP10.33 forward plate delivers efficient compaction of a wide range of materials including granular soils, crushed aggregates and hot mix asphalt.
- The FP10.33 forward plate compactor is designed to provide industry-leading forward movement for great compaction results and less operator fatigue.
- Casted, one-piece plates: Bobcat forward plate compactors feature a one-piece, cast base plate with no connection points that can weaken over time. Other brands weld or assemble components for their base plates.
- Minimal hand-arm vibration: Bobcat forward plates are designed to isolate plate vibrations from the operator’s handle, significantly reducing hand-arm vibration and fatigue. The handle also folds for convenient transport and storage.
- Water tank and sprinkler system: Control dust or keep the vibratory base plate free of material buildup while compacting asphalt using the fixed water tank and sprinkler system. The durable, yet light-weight tank can be removed without the need for tools for convenient refills.
- Toolless Rubber Mat: Slip on the optional rubber mat to operate the plate compactor on paving stones without cracking or chipping the stones or other expensive surfaces.
