The APR 22/40 reversible plate compactor is a lightweight and narrow - width machine, perfect for small or confined worksites. It's a fast - working and excellent - climbing vibratory plate. With a 40 - cm working width and weighing about 100 kg (121 kg with a diesel engine), it can easily fit into tight spots. This compactor can handle steep grades and move quickly on both even and uneven surfaces, offering a wide range of applications. The hydrostatic steering allows for quick directional changes and compaction in hard - to - reach areas. It has industry - leading low HAV levels, with an innovative handle design that reduces hand - arm vibration to less than 2.5 m/sec², ensuring a more comfortable and safer working environment. The intuitive handle provides a great grip, enables easy operation, and has an open design to prevent accidental damage. It can be folded for easy transport. The robust frame protects the plate from tough conditions, and the open design makes service and operation easy. The centrifugal clutch and wear - resistant V - belt are protected from water and dirt. The hydrostatic setting enables 'on - the - spot' vibration for maximum compaction output. The innovative handle also improves safety by reducing HAV values and allowing precise control without separate controls or steering. Here are the weight and dimensions: Petrol version weighs 100 kg (109 kg with options), diesel version weighs 118 kg (130 kg with options). Compaction forces include a max vibration frequency of 98 Hz, max centrifugal force of 23 kN, and a working surface of 528 m²/h (petrol) or 504 m²/h (diesel).
Using the APR 22/40 is quite simple. Just push or pull the handle to make the machine move forward or backward. You don't need any separate controls or steering. When you're working in a particularly challenging area, use the hydrostatic setting for 'on - the - spot' vibration to get maximum compaction. This means the machine will hover in place and do its job effectively. As for safety, always make sure you're aware of the HAV levels. The innovative handle design reduces the hand - arm vibration, but still, work within a reasonable time frame. Don't try to lift the machine accidentally as the open - handle design is there to prevent damage. For maintenance, since the frame has an open design, it's easy to access for service and operation. Regularly check the centrifugal clutch and the wear - resistant V - belt, which are protected by an additional cover. Keep them clean and free from water and dirt. This will help maximize the machine's lifespan and keep it working efficiently.
