The APU3050e is a technological milestone: It is the first reversible vibratory plate in the world equipped with a direct drive without V-belt and thus provides high efficiency during compaction as well as complete freedom from maintenance. The emission-free drive system as well as low overall height make it an ideal compaction machine for trench shoring. It possesses excellent handling and maneuverability on soil and asphalt and offers high operator comfort, for example by the sturdy, integrated wheel set and the continuously variable forward and reverse speed.
