Plate Compactor Hire in Reading, Berkshire
Need plate compactor hire in Reading? Coppard’s current range includes a single-direction petrol plate, reversible Bomag and Wacker Neuson compactors, rubber mats and a water-attachment option. Call 0118 979 2828 with the material, area, access and compaction requirement.
Coppard’s plate compactor catalogue covers different machine configurations, including reversible options, working widths, weight where listed and available accessories, helping you choose the right plate for the job.
Choose the Plate Around Material, Output and Access
For smaller flat areas, a single-direction plate may be sufficient. For higher-output work or areas where repeatedly turning the machine is impractical, a reversible compactor may be more suitable.
Coppard currently lists a petrol single-direction compactor plate and several reversible diesel machines. The DPU 100 is listed at 700 mm wide and 768 kg, while the DPU 4045Ye is listed at 900 mm wide.
The heaviest or widest plate is not automatically the best choice. Material, layer thickness, access, surface and specified compaction all matter.
Call 0118 979 2828 with the job details.

Frequently Asked Questions - Plate Compactor Hire in Reading
What plate compactors does Coppard currently list?
Coppard’s current catalogue lists a single-direction petrol compactor plate, reversible Bomag BPR 55/65D, Wacker Neuson DPU 4045Ye and Wacker Neuson DPU 100. Rubber mats are also listed, and the single-direction plate can be supplied with or without a water attachment.
What is the difference between a single-direction and reversible plate compactor?
A single-direction plate travels forwards and is repositioned when the operator needs to change direction. A reversible compactor can travel forwards and backwards, which can improve manoeuvrability and productivity in suitable areas. Choose from the material, working area and required compaction.
Can I get a rubber mat or water attachment with a plate compactor?
Coppard’s current catalogue lists rubber mats to suit, and its single-direction petrol compactor plate is offered with or without a water attachment. Confirm compatibility with the exact machine and intended surface when booking.
How do I choose between a plate compactor, rammer and roller?
The choice depends on the material, working area, access, layer thickness and required compaction. HSE guidance on excavation and backfilling emphasises suitable equipment and safe working methods. Tell Coppard’s Reading team what material and area you are working with so the most appropriate compaction equipment can be considered.
