Buy or hire the DPU100-70 if...
A heavy reversible plate compactor for granular sub-base and asphalt work, too large for garden or driveway jobs. Its weight and centrifugal force suit groundworkers compacting trench backfill and road sub-base rather than small landscaping tasks.

Buy or hire the EZ17 if...
The 1.5 tonne class is the busiest size in UK hire fleets. At 1,724kg it goes on a braked plant trailer behind a large 4x4 or pickup, and digs to 2,590 mm for footings, drainage runs and fence posts. Zero tail swing means the back of the machine stays inside the tracks when it slews, so it can work tight against a wall or in one lane of a road.
