The HC 450 ... hard impact.
Attachments promise even compaction
01 November 2011
ATLAS Copco Construction Tools is introducing six new hydraulic compactor attachments designed for use on carriers with an operating weight between one and 40 tonnes.
The models include the HC150, HC350, HC 450, HC 850, HC1050 and the top-of-the-line HC1055.
A key innovative feature is the housing attachment offset at 15 degrees, a design which improves force distribution on the vibrator plate while also reducing the stress and wear on the compactor even further.
A company spokesman comments: “These compactors are virtually maintenance-free, thanks to their PermanentLube continuous lubrication system.
“The integrated flow rate and pressure control protects these units from overload, particularly if compactors are used on different carriers.”
An Atlas Copco compactor is easily attached, and no special mount is required for fitting to carriers. Standard adapter plates and attachment brackets simplify attachment to the compactor. “The compactor attachments are suitable for compacting trenches, ground soil and embankments as well as for driving in and pulling out formwork, posts and sheet piling,” explains the spokesman.
Furthermore, optional backfill blades make the compactors easier to use. They level the way, enabling work to progress smoothly while also deflecting material. Also, the hydraulic system functions without pressure-less tank return flow, thus saving time and money.
Atlas Copco Construction Tools is a division within Atlas Copco’s Construction Technique business area.
