Incredible compaction force along with fast forward and reverse travel means the DPU 6555 achieves great productivity. It is an all-around versatile plate for all job sites that place extreme demands on the machine’s performance potential. Its other outstanding characteristics are high operator comfort and a long service life. It is perfectly suited for the compaction of building back-fill, and of frost and sub bases when constructing roads, paths and parking lots. The 69 Hz frequency makes the DPU 6555 suitable for all purposes and compacts even heavy interlocking paving stone reliably.
