The Handy 35cm (14") Petrol Compactor Plate

Designed for both domestic and commercial applications, this effective and easy-handling petrol compactor-plate from Handy has been designed to prepare the ground for landscaping, patio-laying and extension-building. Delivering a high-torque V-belt drive is the Loncin OHV engine; a large-displacement (196cc) four-stroke forced-air-cooled motor with an OHV configuration for a sizeable cut in fuel-consumption, emissions, noise and vibration; and a metal-cam that combines with a cast-iron cylinder-sleeve and a forged-steel connection-rod to confer fantastic long-term reliability. A low-oil alert system protects the engine by automatically shutting it down when the reservoir's running dry; while a transistor-type ignition works to minimise fuel-consumption on start-up. Also important in terms of the engine is the cavernous three-litre fuel-tank that delivers an impressive three-hour run-time on one fill. The Handy THLC29142 Petrol Compactor-Plate operates down to a substantial 25cm and exerts a massive 11000N (1121kg) on the ground surface. It's fitted with a comfortable soft-grip handlebar which can be collapsed for convenient transport and storage, and it offers a sizeable 35cm (14in) working-width and moves at 25 metres per minute, so you can expect impressive productivity. This model can be paired up with an optional wheel-kit for enhanced manoeuvrability and is capable of handling gradients up to 20 degrees.
