RP22.40 Features & Benefits

Performance

Durable Honda Engine

The RP22.40 reversible plate compactor features a durable and efficient 4.8-hp Honda engine for reliable starts, maximum power and low fuel consumption.

Maximum Compaction Output

The reversible plate compactor glides easily across the surface as the twin-shaft vibratory system produces maximum compaction output. The vibratory system also provides for powerful stationary compaction on challenging grounds.

Hydraulic Direction Control

The Bobcat® RP22.40 reversible plate compactor is equipped with easy-to-use hydraulic directional control for quick directional changes and precise compaction in tight spaces. The simple controls, high accuracy and speeds among the fastest in its class allow this machine to get more done in less time.

Well-Balanced Base Plate

With optimum machine balance, stationary compaction work and continuous movement compaction are equally productive, efficient and easy on the operator.

Comfort

Minimized Hand-Arm Vibration

Bobcat® reversible plate compactors feature low handle vibration levels that enhance operator comfort. Isolators designed to absorb vibrations significantly reducing operators’ hand-arm vibration and fatigue.

Easy Transport

Well placed tie-down points and a central hook are integrated into the reversible plate compactor's frame for convenient lifting and transport.

Optional Transport Wheels

Transport the reversible plate compactor easily and quickly around the jobsite without any need for tools. Simply unhook the latch to place the wheels into position and go.

Uptime Protection

Built to Last

The robust tubular frame, high-quality components and durable protective covers keep Bobcat reversible plate compactors in the field, day after day.

Durable-Twin-Shaft-Exciter

Material-Shedding Base Plate

The reversible plate compactor's durable twin-shaft exciter extends service intervals and prolongs the base plate's life, providing maximum uptime.

Serviceability

Optional Vibration-Activated Hour Meter

An optional vibration-activated hour meter monitors work hours to ensure that maintenance needs are met on time.

Versatility

Optional Toolless Mat

Mount the optional rubber mat on the base plate to compact material the ground under paving stones without cracking or chipping expensive surface materials. The mat can be installed quickly and without any tools, enhancing the versatility of the Bobcat reversible plate compactors while keeping handling costs minimal.
