Is a reversible or unidirectional vibrating plate better?
The main difference is in the comfort and speed with which you can work.
- Unidirectional plate: It is lighter and handles well in small jobs such as patches or pavements. It only moves forwards, so you will need space to turn it.
- Reversible tray: It is heavier and more powerful. It allows you to change direction (forward and backward) with a lever, without having to move the entire machine. This is a great advantage in trenches or places with limited space. It is often used for larger jobs because of its performance.
