Bartell BR1570 Reversible Plate Compactor

Description

The Bartell BR1570 is a compact, high-performance reversible plate compactor designed for professional contractors who need maneuverability, precision, and reliability in tight or medium-sized job sites. As Bartell’s smallest reversible model, it offers a perfect balance of power, control, and productivity — allowing operators to achieve faster compaction results without increasing investment costs.

Powered by the dependable Honda GX160 4.8 HP (3.6 kW) engine, the BR1570 delivers 3,461 lbf (15 kN) of compaction force and full speed operation in both forward and reverse directions. The fully hydraulic reversing mechanism provides smooth, precise directional control for spot, trench, and confined area compaction.

Built for durability, the BR1570 features a cast aluminum throttle lever, full roll cage, and cast aluminum belt cover to protect the clutch and engine. The ductile iron base plate increases strength and longevity, while the integrated lifting bale ensures safe transport. Retractable transport wheels make it easy to move between work areas, and an optional urethane mat allows safe operation on pavers without risk of damage.

Compact yet powerful, the BR1570 is ideal for contractors seeking professional-grade compaction performance in a versatile and easy-to-handle machine.
