The manufacturer says that its new MV58 model is easy to operate, manoeuvre and maintain, and weighs less than 70kg.
The MV58 is designed for compaction of thin asphalt layers, and small repairs and road maintenance work, in confined areas. Like all Chicago Pneumatic forward compaction plates, it has a Honda engine.
An integrated, tubeless water distribution system prevents asphalt from sticking to the plate, Chicago Pneumatic says. This comes as standard and reduces maintenance needs, it adds.
Transport wheels are an optional extra.
