On the Russian market of construction equipment, the Helmut RP line of gasoline‑powered vibratory plates continues to gain popularity, encompassing six models weighing from 63 to 120 kg. The brand, with German roots and Chinese production, offers solutions for tasks of any scale — from laying a garden path at a dacha to compacting trenches for utilities.
Fields of application of Helmut RP vibrating plates
Helmut RP vibrating plates are used in construction, road construction and landscape design. Here are the main directions:
- Road construction and repair — laying asphalt pedestrian paths, preparing the base for asphalt concrete mixture, minor patching.
- Laying paving slabs and paving stones — the included polyurethane mat allows for careful work with decorative surfaces without damaging them.
- Preparation of foundations - compaction of the soil to prevent subsidence and increase bearing capacity.
- Landscaping - arrangement of garden paths, playgrounds, children's playgrounds.
- Laying of communications - filling and sealing of trenches, backfilling after laying pipelines.
- Trench compaction and wall work — the RP120 senior model with reversible travel allows you to work in confined spaces without turning around.

Advantages of Helmut RP vibrating plates
- Loncin or Honda gasoline engine — complete autonomy, operation away from the power grid, stable starting at low temperatures.
- Irrigation system — a water tank prevents the base of the slab from sticking to hot asphalt and bitumen, improving the quality of laying.
- Polyurethane mat included - protects paving stones and paving slabs from chipping and cracking under vibration.
- Folding handles and transport wheels - simplify movement around the site, loading, and storage.
- Open design - easy access to components for maintenance and quick removal of dirt.
- Oil level sensor - blocks engine start when the level is low, preventing damage.
- Reversible drive (RP120) - allows forward and backward movement for working in trenches and near walls.
- Reinforced self‑cleaning base surface - extends the service life of the plate.

Briefly about each model
RP63 is the junior model, 63 kg. Loncin engine, 5.5 hp. Ideal for a dacha, landscape work, laying paving slabs, and minor patch repairs. Compact, fits in the trunk of a station wagon. The most affordable in the line.
RP63H — the same stove, but with a Honda GX160 engine. For those who value engine durability and are willing to pay extra.
RP86 is a medium-sized model, 86 kg. The engine is a Loncin 6.5 hp, the centrifugal force is 13 kN, and the compaction depth is 30 cm. It’s a versatile option for construction work: foundations, roads, and platforms.
RP86H — a version of the RP86 with a Honda GX160 engine (5.5 hp). The engine power is slightly lower, but the reliability is higher.
RP120 — the top‑of‑the‑line model, 120 kg. Loncin engine, 6.5 hp, centrifugal force 25 kN, compaction depth 35 cm. Reversible — the only one in the line with reverse gear. For professional work: trenches, roads, coarse crushed stone. No water tank and mat — this is a plate for soil, not for asphalt.
RP120H is the top-of-the-line model with a Honda GX200 engine, 5.5 hp.
