This reversible vibratory plate is a top - notch choice for ground compaction work. It offers excellent maneuverability and can effortlessly climb slopes with a 30 - percent grade. Powered by high - performance diesel engines, it features variable forward and reverse motion, which helps it handle tough spots in hard - to - reach areas. Weighing 440 kg, it's the heaviest in the APR vibratory plate range. Its Hatz 1B40 engine provides 6.6 kw of power and generates 59 kN of centrifugal force. The durable engine hood not only protects the engine but also allows easy access for servicing. Optional 75 - mm and 150 - mm extensions can boost productivity. The operator - friendly, vibration - cushioned guide handle is foldable for easy transportation. It has smooth variable hydrostatic forward and reverse motion, including the option for “on - the - spot” vibration. With ergonomic handling, a maintenance - friendly two - shaft exciter unit, a wear - resistant self - cleaning base plate, a well - protected robust centrifugal clutch, and a powerful diesel engine, this plate is a reliable workhorse. Other options like a rubber mat for asphalt paver application, an hour meter, and an electric starter add to its versatility.
Using the APR 59/20 Reversible Vibratory Plate is quite straightforward. First, make sure the fuel tank is filled with diesel. Start the engine using the electric starter if available. Adjust the variable forward and reverse motion according to your needs. You can use the 'on - the - spot' vibration option when dealing with tough spots. When working on slopes, keep in mind its 30 - percent gradeability. For transportation, fold the guide handle. As for maintenance, check the fuel consumption regularly and refill the 5 - liter fuel tank as needed. The engine hood allows easy access to the engine, so inspect it often. The two - shaft exciter unit has long service intervals, but still, keep an eye on it. The wear - resistant base plate and centrifugal clutch reduce the need for frequent replacements, but monitor them for any signs of excessive wear. Also, if you use the optional extensions, ensure they are properly attached.
