FP15.50 Forward Plate Compactor

The Bobcat FP15.50 forward plate compactor is designed for operators who need strong compaction performance, efficient surface coverage, reliable forward movement, easy transport, low-vibration operation, and simple maintenance access. Its 19.7-inch width, 185-pound operating weight, durable Honda GX120 engine, 3.5 horsepower output, 0.9 mph travel speed, 12.3 psi surface pressure, and 3,372 lbf centrifugal force make it a practical choice for compacting sand, gravel, hot-mix asphalt, granular soils, crushed aggregates, base materials, trench areas, pathways, sidewalks, patios, driveways, and compact construction surfaces. With a standard water tank and sprinkler system, wear-resistant one-piece cast base plate, vibration-isolated folding handle, central lift bar, and optional toolless transport wheels, the FP15.50 helps crews work efficiently while reducing operator fatigue and supporting long-term uptime.

• 3,372-pound centrifugal force: The Bobcat FP15.50 delivers strong compaction performance for sand, gravel, hot-mix asphalt, granular materials, base preparation, trench work, and small-area compaction.

• Durable Honda GX120 engine: The efficient Honda engine delivers reliable starts, maximum power, and low fuel consumption for dependable jobsite productivity.

• 22-inch base plate: The FP15.50 uses a wide base plate to deliver efficient surface coverage and strong compaction results.

• 185-pound operating weight: The heavier compact design gives crews a strong balance of compaction force, durability, maneuverability, and jobsite stability.

• 19.7-inch machine width: The FP15.50 provides productive coverage while remaining maneuverable enough for trenches, pathways, sidewalks, landscape spaces, and confined jobsites.

• 7,750 square feet per hour surface capacity: High surface capacity helps crews cover more ground during paving, base preparation, repair, and compaction work.

• Standard water tank and sprinkler system: The water system helps control dust and keep the vibratory base plate free of hot asphalt buildup during asphalt compaction.
