That is the class of compactor that gets specified for structural fill, road base and deep lifts, where a 500 lb plate will pass over the surface and leave the material underneath uncompacted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt runs a \u003cstrong\u003ehydraulic reversing mechanism\u003c\/strong\u003e — forward, reverse and on-the-spot compaction from one lever, with no turning the machine around in a trench. The plate is \u003cstrong\u003e900 x 500 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e, working at \u003cstrong\u003e73 Hz (4,400 VPM)\u003c\/strong\u003e. The lower frequency and much higher force is the deliberate trade against the smaller machines in this family: fewer, harder blows that drive energy deeper into the lift instead of polishing the top of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePower is a \u003cstrong\u003eYanmar L100AE air-cooled diesel, 10 HP at 3,600 rpm, electric start\u003c\/strong\u003e off a sealed battery.

You will also find this machine listed elsewhere at 6.5 HP with 35 kN and 5,200 VPM — those are the smaller BTPC240Y's numbers and they are wrong for this machine.
