MBW static compaction wheels are built to standards suitable for vibratory compactors. That means heavier bearings (to 1,100,000 lbs. static load), heavier shafts (to 710,000 lbs. shear strength) with a correspondingly heavy frame that supports the wheel at both ends to minimize frame and shaft deformation. Our static compaction wheels are heavily built because they can be converted to vibratory wheels when need arises.
MBW pioneered the industry’s first stick mounted vibratory compaction wheels in the late 1990s. We are now introducing a whole new generation of vibratory compaction wheels. These new compaction wheels feature a redesigned frame that supports the wheel or drum at both ends to reduce stress concentrations, an improved suspension system that protects isolators from damage due to over deflection and exciter operating temperatures that have been significantly lowered.
What Applications Are Best Suited To Use The UVW Stick Mounted Static & Vibratory Compaction Wheels?
Trenching Operations
UVWs remove the compaction bottleneck in trenching applications. The result is an overall increase in trench work productivity.
Slope Compaction
UVWs are ideally suited to the compaction of slopes. UVWs are the preferred means of compacting the sloped sides and bottom of irrigation canals to reduce.
Methods of Attachment to Boom
UVWs attach to host machine booms via pins and bushings or quick coupler systems. MBW will machine bushings to dimensions provided by the user. Alternatively, quick coupler systems can be purchased from MBW or a dealer of the user’s choice.
