Description
The Bartell BR 5100 is the largest reversible plate compactor in our fleet. It delivers over 11,000 lbs of compaction force, making it ideal for tough applications. With high compaction force and fast travel speeds, it helps you complete jobs quickly and effectively. Features include a hydraulic reversing mechanism for flexible forward, backward, and precise compaction. The cast aluminum throttle lever is professional, strong, and durable for tamping. A new closed - style frame protects the engine and guide hook. The cast aluminum belt cover extends clutch and engine life. Ductile iron bases offer increased strength and durability. Optional extension plates and urethane mat options are available. Technical specs: Engine - Subaru EX40, Power Output - 8.6hp (6.3kW), Compaction Force - 11244 lbf, 50 kN, 5100 kgf, Max Travel Speed - 75'/min (23m/min), Width - 20' (500mm), Height - 37' (930mm), Length - 65' (1610mm), Weight - 992lbs (450kg), Plate Size - 20' x 36' (500mm x 900mm).
Using the Bartell BR 5100 is easy. First, start the Subaru EX40 engine. Then, use the hydraulic reversing mechanism to move the compactor forward, backward, or for spot - on compaction as needed. When operating, make sure to keep a stable stance and follow safety rules. Regarding maintenance, regularly check the cast aluminum throttle lever for any signs of wear. The new closed - style frame protects the engine, but still, keep it clean from dirt and debris. The cast aluminum belt cover helps with clutch and engine longevity, but check the belt tension occasionally. The ductile iron bases are strong, but inspect them for cracks after heavy use. If you choose to use the optional extension plates or urethane mats, attach and remove them carefully. Also, always store the compactor in a dry place when not in use.
