Hyundai 87cc Petrol Plate-Compactor | HYCP5030

If you’re in construction or landscaping and would prefer to buy rather than repeatedly hire a plate compactor, this powerful, petrol-driven model from Hyundai should be high on your list of potential purchases!

The Hyundai HYCP5030 has been equipped with a super-efficient 87cc air-cooled four-stroke engine, which generates a rapid 5900rpm exciter speed, thereby ensuring sand, gravel and soil are quickly, evenly and thoroughly compacted. The whacker plate compacts down to 200mm, and moves the unit forward at a speedy 25m/min.

Power transfer on the Hyundai HYCP5030 Petrol Plate-Compactor is done via a V-belt rather than a solid driveshaft – this means that if you dig-in too deep and cause an overload, you’ll just have to replace a snapped belt, rather than deal with catastrophic transmission damage. A guard protects the drive from impact damage and debris ingress.

A paving pad prevents potentially costly damage to any in-situ paving blocks you might be working alongside; Hyundai’s provision of a wheel kit makes it easy to shift the machine from one worksite to another.

This model also features a space saving fold-forward handlebar, which benefits from a soft grip that minimises tiring vibration transfer to the operator’s hands and arms; and an extra-capacious 1.6-litre fuel tank, which works with the engine’s compact displacement to ensure long, interruption-free runs.
