Get Your Ground Preparation Right
A lasting finish starts with the preparation underneath. A vibrating plate compactor helps compact suitable materials as part of preparing a stable base for paving and other landscaping work.
Hire equipment for the stage of the project when you need it, without buying and storing a machine of your own.
Plate Compactor Hire for Building and Landscaping
Driveway Sub-Base Preparation
Compact suitable granular sub-base material before the next stage of your driveway installation. Tell us the material and project requirements so we can check an appropriate machine.
Patios and Garden Paths
Prepare suitable bases for patios, pathways and garden improvements. A compact plate can be a practical choice where access and working space are limited.
Block Paving Projects
Ask about suitable equipment for your block paving work. Where the paving manufacturer permits plate compaction, an appropriate protective pad may be required. We will check availability for your enquiry.
General Groundwork
Support smaller building and landscaping projects that require compaction of suitable fill or aggregates. Share your site conditions and intended use so we can discuss the available options.
Choose the Right Wacker Plate for Your Job
Plate compactors vary in size, weight and capability. Choosing equipment to match your material and working space is more useful than simply choosing the smallest machine.
- Material: Tell us what you need to compact, including the aggregate or soil type.
- Project: Let us know whether you are preparing a driveway, patio, path or another area.
- Access: Mention narrow entrances, steps and restrictions along the route to the working area.

We will confirm the proposed machine, its power or fuel requirements and any included accessories before booking.
Hire Equipment for the Whole Project
