Description

Altrad Belle PCX 13/40 16″ Heavyweight Combination Plate Compactor

The Altrad Belle PCX 13/40 stands as a premium solution in the heavyweight combination plate compactor category, engineered to deliver exceptional compaction performance across the most demanding construction and civil engineering projects. This professional-grade 16-inch compaction plate represents the latest evolution in compaction technology, combining raw power with refined control to meet the exacting standards of today’s construction professionals.

Advanced Compaction Technology Built around a powerful compaction system, the PCX 13/40 generates substantial centrifugal force to achieve superior compaction results on a wide variety of materials including cohesive soils, granular fills, crushed stone, and asphalt applications. The innovative shorter baseplate design represents a significant engineering advancement, optimising the compaction footprint to deliver improved soil penetration and more effective energy transfer while enhancing overall manoeuvrability.

Enhanced Operator Experience Incorporating cutting-edge low HAV (Hand-Arm Vibration) technology, this combination plate prioritises operator comfort and long-term health protection. The advanced vibration dampening system significantly reduces transmitted vibrations to the operator, enabling extended working periods while maintaining full compliance with stringent health and safety regulations. This technology ensures operators can work more efficiently and safely throughout demanding shift patterns.

Versatile Water Kit Configuration Available with an optional integrated water kit system, the PCX 13/40 offers enhanced versatility for asphalt compaction applications. The water system prevents hot asphalt from adhering to the baseplate surface, ensuring consistent compaction quality and extending equipment lifespan. This dual-configuration approach allows contractors to specify the exact setup required for their predominant applications, whether working with granular materials or hot asphalt surfaces.

Precision Engineering Features The 16-inch width provides an optimal balance between area coverage and precision control, making it highly effective for both large-scale area compaction and detailed finishing work around structures and utilities. The shorter baseplate design enhances manoeuvrability in confined spaces while maintaining the mass and stability required for professional-grade compaction performance.

Professional Construction Standards Engineered for the rigours of commercial construction environments, the PCX 13/40 delivers the reliability and durability demanded by professional contractors. The heavyweight construction provides the necessary mass for effective compaction while the refined design ensures consistent performance across varying ground conditions and material types.

Application Versatility Ideal for foundation preparation, utility trench backfilling, road base compaction, car park construction, footpath installation, and general groundwork applications where precision compaction is critical to project success and long-term structural performance.
