Basic overview of compaction wheels
The compaction wheel, as the name suggests, is an accessory installed on the excavator and is mainly used for compaction of soil, sand and other materials. Compared with traditional vibratory compactors, the compaction wheel has flexible operation and high efficiency. It can work from the bottom upward, effectively breaking up soil clods in the soil, filling gaps, and achieving more uniform pressurization effects.

Application of compaction wheels in small excavators

Flexibility and adaptability
Mini excavators have unique advantages in narrow or complex terrain due to their small size, light weight, and flexible operation. After being equipped with compaction wheels, the small excavator can not only carry out excavation operations, but can also be quickly converted into compaction equipment to achieve multiple uses in one machine. This flexibility greatly improves construction efficiency and reduces the cost and time of equipment mobilization.
Improve compaction quality
Through its unique working principle, the compaction wheel can penetrate deep into the bottom of the soil, effectively break up the soil clods and fill the gaps, thereby achieving a tighter compaction effect. This is of great significance for improving the load-bearing capacity and stability of roads, dams, foundation pits and other projects. In addition, the compaction wheel can also reduce settlement problems caused by uneven compaction and extend the service life of the project.
Reduce construction costs
Traditional vibratory compactors often require multiple pieces of equipment to work together, and have high technical requirements for operators. When a small excavator is equipped with a compaction wheel, one piece of equipment can complete both excavation and compaction tasks, greatly reducing construction costs. At the same time, due to the small wear and low maintenance cost of the compaction wheel, the overall construction cost is further reduced.
