Did you know that a small excavator can be equipped with a plate compactor?

1. Installation feasibility

Structural adaptability

Small excavators usually have a more flexible working device connection system. Generally, the flat plate tamping can be connected by installing an adaptive connection device on the end of the excavator's dipper or forearm. This connection method is similar to replacing the excavator's accessories, such as replacing the bucket with a breaker hammer.

For example, many small excavators have reserved hydraulic pipeline interfaces and mechanical connection points on the dipper, which can be simply modified or directly used to install the flat plate tamping. The flat plate tamping itself is also designed with corresponding connection parts, and its size and specifications can match the connection device of the small excavator to ensure the firmness of the installation.

Power supply

The small excavator has enough hydraulic power to drive the flat plate tamping. The hydraulic system of the excavator can provide stable pressure and flow, and the flat plate tamping can obtain power through the oil pipe connected to the hydraulic system of the excavator when working.

The hydraulically driven flat plate tamping can use the hydraulic power of the excavator to generate high-frequency vibration, and its vibration frequency and amplitude can be adjusted to a certain extent according to actual work needs. For example, when compacting some loose soil or sand-stone mixed ground, the vibration frequency can be appropriately increased to improve the compaction effect.

2. Advantages after installation

Improve work efficiency

Compared with manual use of handheld flat plate compactors or other small compaction equipment, the flat plate compactors installed on small excavators have a larger working range. The excavator can flexibly move the flat plate compactor to the position that needs to be compacted, especially in large-area site leveling and compaction operations, and can quickly cover the entire work area.

For example, in the foundation compaction of a construction site or the roadbed compaction work in road construction, a small excavator installed with a flat plate compactor can work continuously along the planned route, reducing the time for equipment transfer and repositioning.

Enhance compaction effect

Due to the weight and stability of the excavator itself, it can provide better downforce when operating the flat plate compactor. While the flat plate compactor vibrates, the downforce of the excavator can effectively improve the compaction depth and density.

For some projects with high requirements for soil density, such as foundation treatment under the raft foundation of a building, a small excavator installed with a flat plate compactor can better meet the project quality requirements.

3. Matters Needing Attention During Installation

Checking the Stability of Connections

After installing the plate compactor, you must carefully check whether the connection is firm. The connection bolts should be tightened to the specified torque and checked regularly to prevent loose connections due to vibration during operation.

For example, you can perform a test run after the initial installation to observe whether there is any abnormal shaking or noise at the connection. If so, you need to recheck and reinforce the connection.

Adaptation and Adjustment of the Hydraulic System

Make sure that the hydraulic system of the excavator matches the hydraulic parameters of the plate compactor. This includes parameters such as the flow rate and pressure of the hydraulic oil. If the parameters do not match, the plate compactor may not work properly, such as insufficient vibration frequency or excessive vibration damaging the equipment.

Generally, it is necessary to properly adjust the hydraulic output of the excavator according to the instruction manual of the plate compactor, and some flow control valves or pressure regulating valves may need to be installed to optimize the output of the hydraulic system.
