Soil Compactor

 

 

The walk-behind roller soil compactor is designed keeping ergonomics in focus. It has a fully-adjustable handle that allows the user to work comfortably for longer hours. It also needs less storage space when not in use or in transit. Immensely used for earth work, asphalt application, new construction and repair of sidewalks, this soil compactor is engineered to deliver high operational efficacy and hence, work efficiency.

While designing the chassis, a frame-in-frame structure was chosen over a single plate platform to reduce the vibrations travelling upwards to the handle and also for better heat dissipation. The frame structure consists of 3 parts - the vibrating frame, the engine frame and a tank frame. Vibration mounts are used between frames for a double-dampening effect. The design and engineering concepts were translated into a prototype for concept validation, user feedback and for testing the equipment in its working condition.
