Bartell BR1570 Reversible Plate Compactor – Small Size, Serious Power

The Bartell BR1570 is the most compact and cost-effective reversible compactor in Bartell’s lineup, yet it packs impressive performance. With a fully hydraulic reversing mechanism, this unit moves forward, backward, or stays in place—giving you complete compaction control without unnecessary repositioning.

Despite its compact 14″ plate width, the BR1570 delivers 3,461 lbf of compaction force, making it perfect for tight trenches, pavers, and patchwork. Powered by a trusted Honda GX160 engine, it provides reliable performance with lower emissions and minimal maintenance.


Key Features

  • Hydraulic Reversing System: Switch direction instantly for better control and smoother workflow in tight or awkward spaces.

  • Compact Yet Capable: Just 14 inches wide but still strong enough for trench, slab, or patch compaction.

  • Honda GX160 Engine: Delivers 4.8 HP of consistent power with a four-stroke design for greater fuel efficiency and quieter operation.

  • Tough Build: A ductile iron base, full roll cage, and aluminum belt cover protect essential parts during jobsite use.

  • Built-in Mobility: Flip-down wheels and an integrated lifting bale make transporting this unit fast, safe, and effortless.

  • Paver Protection Option: Add an optional urethane mat to safely work on pavers or decorative surfaces without leaving marks.

About brand

Bartell Global: Engineered from Legacy, Built to Last

After World War II, a new era of opportunity emerged. Amid this shift, Art Bartell launched a small tool-and-die shop in 1946. Soon after, he recognized the construction industry's demand for reliable equipment. In response, Bartell created and patented a superior concrete power trowel in 1962. As a result, his company quickly became Canada’s leading name in concrete finishing tools. With dedication to durability and innovation, Bartell laid a strong foundation that would carry his brand far beyond local markets.

Eventually, Art’s son, Lee Bartell, stepped into leadership during the 1970s. Not only did he expand into the U.S. and Europe, but he also built a custom facility in Ontario. During the 1990s, Bartell products reached South America, Australia, and Asia. Though Terex acquired the company in 1999, Bartell’s employees later bought it back. Under renewed leadership, they acquired Innovatech and SPE. Then, to unify the brands, Bartell evolved into Bartell Global—offering complete concrete and surface preparation solutions worldwide.

Today, Bartell Global continues to lead with innovation, reliability, and unmatched customer focus. Because our roots run deep, we remain resilient in a changing market. Additionally, we build every machine with long-term value in mind. After more than 75 years, our legacy still drives us forward. From jobsite to global export, Bartell Global stands ready to support professionals who demand quality, performance, and a trusted partner.
