BR1570 Reversible Plate Compactor

With high-quality construction, Bartell Compaction can stand up to whatever your job requires. The BR1570 Reversible Compactor is the smallest unit that Bartell manufactures. The small footprint means the BR1570 can be used for general compaction applications, especially where space is an issue. This unit can easily stand in place of many popular forward plates because of the comparative cost, but you get the increased production of the reversible features.

• 3500lbs of compaction force, but very lightweight at only 177 lb.
• Honda powered – 4.8hp Honda GX160 engine .
• Hydraulic reversing mechanism with flexible maneuverability allows the machine to move forward, backward, and in-place for spot-on compaction.
• Power button, throttle control and direction control positioned on the handle for convenience and safety.

The Bartell BR1570 is our smallest and most versatile reversible model. It is so compact and cost-effective, you could easily upgrade to higher production rates by going reversible, without increasing your investment.

The fully hydraulic reversing mechanism sets the Bartell line of reversible compactors apart from the competition, providing more flexible maneuverability for forward, backward, and spot-on compaction.
