The
patented Clamp portion of the Compactor has been used with backhoe mounted air
hammers for years and is well proven. It has two 10" long Bearing Bars which
contact the underside of the bucket. The upper portion has an element with opposing
Bearing Bars and it moves in a vertical slot and has enough ability to rotate
to compensate for variation in bucket thicknesses at the contact points. There
is a built-in handle for tightening the Clamp and a Pin Lock to prevent loosening.
The Compactor has two sealed, self-aligning ball bearings, each rated at over
11,000 lbs. working load. Use
on backhoes or loaders that can apply a downward force of up to 15,000 lbs. should
be satisfactory, however, in rocky fill where one bearing might frequently be
subjected to the full force, an 11,000 lbs. limit should be used. The Bearings
are at each end of the Axle. Keep
in mind the fact that the weight any tractor-loader-backhoe, or loader, may apply
to the Compactor is probably only in the range of 40% to 60% of the machines gross
weight. |  |
