This Bomag BMP8500 is a walk-behind compactor — sometimes referred to as a plate compactor or vibratory roller — designed for soil and surface compaction on road construction, utility trenching, and site preparation work. Bomag is a well-established manufacturer of compaction and road-building equipment, producing a wide range of machines for construction and civil engineering applications worldwide.
This 2023 machine is equipped with a 33-inch double padfoot drum, making it well suited for compacting cohesive soils, clays, and granular fills where penetrating foot pressure is required alongside vibratory force. The articulated chassis allows the machine to turn within a tight radius, improving maneuverability in confined or irregular work areas.
Power comes from a Kubota D1005 diesel engine displacing 1.0 litres and producing 14.3 kW, a compact and widely trusted three-cylinder unit known for reliability in light construction equipment. The machine has an operating weight of 3,516 lb, giving it substantial ballast for effective compaction without requiring a ride-on platform.
A handheld remote control is included, allowing the operator to guide and control the machine from a safe distance — a practical feature when working in trenches, on slopes, or in areas where walking directly behind the drum is impractical or hazardous.
This unit is based in Maryland, USA, and is offered as a used machine from a rental fleet; hours are subject to change and should be confirmed at the time of inquiry.
