The DEK Petrol Compactor – C-60T is built for compacting soil, base course and similar materials on New Zealand building and landscaping jobs where a larger machine would be overkill. The product page specifically notes it is ideal for curbs, gutters, around tanks, fences, houses, footings, drainage ditches, general building work and much more, making it a useful option for contractors, builders and serious DIY users. 

Powered by a Loncin 6.5hp petrol engine, this plate compactor gives you a practical balance of portability and job site performance. It has a listed travel speed of 25cm/s, frequency of 5600 vpm, compaction depth of 28cm and centrifugal force of 12KN, which makes it well suited to preparing and consolidating ground for paths, edging, footings and other smaller to mid-sized jobs. 

The compactor uses a 370mm wide by 480mm long plate, helping it work efficiently while still staying manageable around tighter areas. It also features adjustable throttle control for speed and vibration, plus fold away roller wheels to make moving it around the site, or loading on and off a trailer, much easier. At 72kg, it has the weight needed for effective compaction while still being practical to handle on site. 

As with the other serviceable equipment we sell, this is the kind of machine we can support with in-house servicing and repairs in Hamilton, and we also carry backup and replacement parts. Every complete machine is fully built, oiled, lubricated and tested before dispatch, so it arrives ready to go. The DEK Petrol Compactor – C-60T is backed by a 12 month warranty.
