Comfort

• MINIMIZED HAND-ARM VIBRATION: Bobcat forward plate compactors are designed to isolate plate vibrations from the operator’s handle, significantly reducing hand-arm vibration and fatigue. The handle also folds for convenient transport and storage.
• CONVENIENT LIFT BAR: Easily lift and load the forward plate compactor to and from the jobsite using the convenient, central-point lift bar.
• EASY TRANSPORT: Moving a Bobcat forward plate compactor from one jobsite to another is easy with the optional, toolless transport wheels and central lift bar.

Features

• Maximum incline - 20°
• Surface capacity - 7,750 ft² / h (720 m² / h)
• Surface pressure - 12.3 psi (0.85 bar)

Performance

• INDUSTRY-LEADING FORWARD DESIGN: Bobcat forward plate compactors offer industry-leading forward movement, great compaction results and less operator fatigue.
• RELIABLE ENGINE PERFORMANCE: Equipped with a durable and efficient Honda engine, the FP15.50 forward plate compactor delivers reliable starts, maximum power and low fuel consumption.
• HIGH-COMPACTION PERFORMANCE: The FP15.50 has a slightly larger machine width and weighs 185 pounds. It features a 22-inch base plate that delivers a maximum compaction force of 3,372 lbf. (15,000 N).
• HIGH MANEUVERABILITY: The compact size and high maneuverability make Bobcat forward plate compactors ideal for compaction work in tight-fitting areas.

Serviceability

• EASY MAINTENANCE: Easy access to service points makes maintenance easy and increases your uptime.
• WEAR-RESISTANT BASE PLATE: Bobcat forward plate compactors are equipped with wear-resistant base plates that are thicker in the rear, where most wear occurs. This means the forward plate compactor, operated under typical working conditions, requires no base plate service during their lifetime.

Uptime Protection

• DURABLE FRAME: A robust, tubular frame surrounds the engine and durable covers protect key components for reliable performance on the jobsite day after day.
• CASTED, ONE-PIECE PLATE: Bobcat forward plate compactors feature a one-piece, cast base plate with no connection points that can weaken over time. Other brands weld or assemble components for their base plates. Bobcat forward plate compactors also feature base plates that are thicker in the rear, where most wear occurs.
• MATERIAL-SHEDDING BASE PLATE: Bobcat forward plate compactors feature base plates that are designed to shed dirt and reduce material buildup for greater operator uptime.

Versatility

• OPTIMUM VERSATILITY: Tackle a wide range of applications, including open-area compaction work, trench work and compacting materials in tight spaces.
• STANDARD WATER TANK AND SPRINKLER SYSTEM: Control dust or keep the vibratory base plate free of material buildup while compacting asphalt using the standard water tank and sprinkler system. The durable, yet light-weight tank can be removed without the need for tools for convenient refills.
