2026 BOBCAT RP30.50

BOBCAT RP30.50 — REVERSIBLE PLATE COMPACTORS Bobcat® reversible plate compactors excel in a wide range of applications including commercial and residential construction, asphalt compaction, trench and pipeline construction, landscaping and road construction. With optimum machine balance, these vibratory compactors are equally productive and efficient for continuous movement compaction and stationary work. Two models - the RP22.40 and RP30.50 - are equipped with durable and efficient Honda engines for reliable starts, maximum power and low fuel consumption. Our largest reversible plate, the RP49.20D, features a rugged, Tier 4 diesel engine that’s available with an optional electric start. Quick and easy direction changes and consistent compaction results are built into every Bobcat® RP30.50 reversible plate compactor. • Maximum compaction output • Minimal hand-arm vibration • Material-shedding baseplate • Durable Honda engine OVERVIEW • The Bobcat RP30.50 reversible plate is equipped with a durable, 8-hp Honda engine that delivers reliable starts and powerful compaction forces. • A robust, tubular frame surrounds the engine, keeping the RP30.50 reversible plate in the field day after day. • Isolators minimize hand-arm vibrations for reduced operator fatigue and enhanced comfort. • Optional features include toolless transport wheels, a protective mat for compaction work on paving stones, and a vibration-activated hour meter. • The well-balanced base plate distributes compaction power evenly, for efficient operation and consistent results on a variety of materials and grades. FEATURES & BENEFITS PERFORMANCE DURABLE HONDA ENGINE The RP30.50 reversible plate compactor features a durable and efficient 8-hp Honda engine for reliable starts, maximum power and low fuel consumption. MAXIMUM COMPACTION OUTPUT The reversible plate compactor glides easily across the surface as the twin-shaft vibratory system produces maximum compaction output. The vibratory system also provides for powerful stationary compaction on challenging grounds. HYDRAULIC DIRECTION CONTROL The RP30.50 reversible plate compactor is equipped with easy-to-use hydraulic directional control for quick directional changes and precise compaction in tight spaces. The simple controls, high accuracy and speeds among the fastest in its class allow this machine to get more done in less time. WELL-BALANCED BASE PLATE With optimum machine balance, stationary compaction work and continuous movement compaction are equally productive, efficient and easy on the operator. COMFORT MINIMIZED HAND-ARM VIBRATION Bobcat® reversible plate compactors feature low handle vibration levels that enhance operator comfort. Isolators designed to absorb vibrations significantly reducing operators’ hand-arm vibration and fatigue. EASY TRANSPORT Well placed tie-down points and a central hook are integrated into the reversible plate compactor’s frame for convenient lifting and transport. OPTIONAL TRANSPORT WHEELS Transport the reversible plate compactor easily and quickly around the jobsite without any need for tools. Simply unhook the latch to place the wheels into position and go. UPTIME PROTECTION BUILT TO LAST The RP30.50 reversible plate compactor features a hefty tubular frame, high-quality components and durable protective covers that keep this machine in the field, day after day. DURABLE-TWIN-SHAFT-EXCITER The reversible plate compactor’s durable twin-shaft exciter extends service intervals and prolongs the base plate’s life, providing maximum uptime. MATERIAL-SHEDDING BASE PLATE The reversible plate compactor’s durable twin-shaft exciter extends service intervals and prolongs the base plate’s life, providing maximum uptime. SERVICEABILITY OPTIONAL VIBRATION-ACTIVATED HOUR METER An optional vibration-activated hour meter monitors work hours to ensure that maintenance needs are met on time. VERSATILITY OPTIONAL TOOLLESS MAT Mount the optional rubber mat on the base plate to compact material the ground under paving stones without cracking or chipping expensive surface materials. The mat can be installed quickly and without any tools, enhancing the versatility of the Bobcat reversible plate compactors while keeping handling costs minimal.
