Tamper or vibratory plate? Isn’t there a third option? There sure is! BOMAG's new BR 95 vibratory plate is the ideal combination of efficiency and manoeuvrability. Agile and easy to handle, it excels in earthworks wherever flush compaction is required in the smallest of spaces, such as close to building walls, posts or in cable and pipe trenches. This is made possible by a square base plate with rounded corners and a machine design as slim as it is ergonomic. With the all-round 360-degree guide handle, the operator has the machine firmly in their grip in any situation – and with low vibration for fatigue-free working.
