The BCF2150 is Bartell’s hardest hitting forward plate compactor that is perfect for many compaction applications. One of the areas the BCF2150 excels is with pavers because of the high compaction force. Many pavers call for the base material to be compacted with over 4000 lbs, meaning that you are able to use the BCF2150 not only for compacting the pavers themselves, but also the base material.

Bartell forward plates are innovative, hard hitting, and low maintenance.

• Robust throttle controls – Why should you have to bend over and run next to your machine to make it stop? You’ll find conveniently mounted throttle controls standard on every piece of compaction in our lineup

• Retractable Wheel kits – make it much easier to move your equipment to the site. Flip them down and roll. They simply lock up when you don’t need them

• Lifting bales – Maybe your work site is far off the beaten path? Every plate has a robust lifting bale to make it easier to move your equipment when a wheel kit won’t do

• Close to the Edge – Need to compact close to an edge? You can get right up against it with our straight-edge plate design

• Sealed belt guards – Sometimes a single rock is all it takes to throw a belt. Our new sealed cover design keeps rocks out and still cools properly

Maintenance Tips

• Change Engine Oil: Regularly check and change the engine oil as per the manufacturer’s recommendation to keep the engine running smoothly and avoid overheating.
• Clean or Replace Air Filter: Inspect the air filter frequently for dirt and debris, cleaning or replacing it to prevent engine strain and maintain optimal performance.
• Check Spark Plug: Inspect the spark plug for wear or carbon buildup. Clean or replace it to ensure easy starting and efficient combustion.
• Fuel System Maintenance: Drain old fuel if the unit will be idle for extended periods and clean the fuel system to prevent clogging or contamination.
• Inspect Compaction Plate: Examine the compaction plate for cracks, bends, or signs of wear. Clean it after use to avoid build-up that could affect compaction efficiency.
• Lubricate Moving Components: Regularly lubricate moving parts such as the exciter mechanism, handle pivots, and other components to minimize friction and wear.
• Check Vibration Mounts: Inspect vibration mounts and isolation pads for wear or damage. Replace any parts that are damaged or loose to ensure effective operation.
• Tighten Bolts and Fasteners: Periodically check and tighten all bolts, nuts, and fasteners to prevent loosening, which could affect performance and safety.
• Clean and Inspect After Each Use: Clean the compactor after each use to remove dirt and debris, ensuring it operates at peak performance the next time it’s used.
• Annual Professional Service: Schedule an annual service check with a professional to ensure all parts are functioning properly and to address any potential issues before they become costly repairs.
