WACKER introduces backpack and pole vibrators
Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin…WACKER expanding its line of portable vibration equipment with the addition of a line of backpack and pole vibrators. This line of gasoline vibrators feature patented pendulum technology for high impact, high frequency concrete vibration.

A quick disconnect system on the backpacks provide for quick backpack vibrator removal and easy storage.

The BV 35A-P weighs 22-pounds and is powered by a 35.8-cc 4-stoke Honda engine. The BV 50A-P weighs 34-pounds and is powered by a 49-cc Honda engine.
