Compaction Buckets

FELCO combines the two standard proven methods for compaction which are 1) roller wheel compaction and 2) vi
bratory plate compaction - for underground utilities or site work operations. We are featuring our Roller Compaction Bucket in this newsletter.

The Roller compaction bucket
combines the compaction CompactonBucketperformance of FELCO's proven tamping pad roller design and a sealed journal bearing all within the excavating bucket. FELCO manufactures more than 20 different buckets to meet a wide range of applications.  The roller compaction bucket allows an operator to place backfill in the exact amount needed to ensure uniform lifts, as well as providing a convenient method to compact.  This versatility turns the attachment into a complete digging/ backfilling/ compacting system, reducing manpower and equipment costs while increasing productivity.
FELCO Roller Wheel Styles
FELCO Roller Compaction Wheels are available in 3 styles to match soil type and compaction needs.  Please call 800-221-5427 to determine what wheel type is best suited for your compaction needs.

Equipment Tips
Roller Compaction Bucket
Ideal Compaction Guidelines

Position the bucket so that the top surface is parallel with the surface being compacted which will align the wheel force with the pivot point on the stick.  This method applies low forces to the linkage and cylinder, within normal operating range.  Too much or not enough curl applies a high compression force to the linkage and cylinder.
