3. Design and function
3.1. General
The engcon compactor is intended for the compaction of soil. The tool has a bolt-on
gate/attachment point that allows the attachment point to be changed easily when
necessary. The compactor consists of a vibrating plate and body connected to each other
via vibration dampers. As a safety measure, two chains are fitted between the plate and
frame. Vibration is created by a hydraulic motor acting on the compactor plate via an
eccentric shaft located in the body.
DANGER
Do not exceed tipping load limits. The weight of the
product and the increased reach may impair stability.
Risk of personal injury and damage to property.
3.2. EC-Oil
engcon’s system for more efficient tool changes. It provides the ability to switch hydraulic
tools without leaving the cab. The system is designed for maximum reliability in harsh
environments. It is a fully hydraulic system that handles the connection of tools under full
system pressure.
