Why hire rather than buy
For most trades and one-off jobs hiring is far more economical than buying. Hiring removes the headache of maintenance, storage and depreciation while giving you access to a well-maintained machine only when you need it. If you need a different specification for heavier or larger works, take a look at our Altrad Belle option — the large wacker plate we stock is perfect for most groundwork tasks. Hiring also lets you match the machine to the job: for turf and lawn jobs you might pair this with a specialist plugger such as the Camon LA25 Lawn Aerator Plugger to relieve compaction before relaying turf.
Operator & safety notes
The plate compactor should be used by a competent adult familiar with vibratory equipment. Wear stout boots, eye protection, gloves and hearing protection. Check the work area for buried services, loose debris and slopes — avoid steep inclines and do not operate on extremely loose ground. Secure all loads for transport and consult the machine’s manual if in doubt. If you’re unsure, ask our team for a quick demonstration when you collect or on delivery.
