Optimal Compaction on Granular Materials with Honda Engine

Optimal Compaction on Granular Materials with Honda Engine

The FP15.40 is powered by a Honda GX 120 engine delivering 3.5 HP at 3,600 rpm, providing consistent, fuel-efficient performance on granular materials including sand, gravel, and hot-mix asphalt. Its 100 Hz vibration frequency and 3,372 lbf of centrifugal force deliver optimal compaction results on a variety of surface types.

Low Hand-Arm Vibration Handle for Enhanced Operator Comfort

Low Hand-Arm Vibration Handle for Enhanced Operator Comfort

Equipped with a low hand-arm vibration (HAV) handle, the FP15.40 significantly reduces unwanted vibrations transmitted to the operator, improving comfort during extended use. This ergonomic design allows operators to work longer with less fatigue, increasing overall productivity on granular material compaction projects.

Compact Design for Agile Operation in Tight Jobsite Areas

Compact Design for Agile Operation in Tight Jobsite Areas

Measuring 27.6 inches in length and 15.7 inches in width and weighing just 176 lbs, the FP15.40 is designed for agile operation in tight areas where larger compactors cannot work. Its compact dimensions and optional transport wheels make it easy to maneuver and reposition on jobsites, while the fully protected V-belt system ensures maximum compaction output and extended service intervals.
