Allied Skid-Pac Vibratory Compactor Detailed Overview
#1
Product Description
The Allied Skid-Pac is an innovative vibratory plate compactor designed to mount easily onto skid-steer loaders or compact track loaders. It applies powerful impulse and vibratory forces to compact granular soils efficiently in a variety of construction applications, including backfill compaction, base course preparation, and surface treatments.
Design and Operation
  • The Skid-Pac utilizes hydraulically driven eccentric rotating masses that generate vibration and impulse energy transferred to the base plate, promoting rapid soil densification.
  • The compact design mounts directly on the skid-steer without additional hydraulic kits or modifications, attaching similarly to a bucket for quick changeover.
  • The system features maintenance-free oil splash bearing lubrication, eliminating the need for routine greasing.
  • An errorless four-function control valve optimizes flow, pressure, regeneration, and directional control, enhancing reliability.
  • Rubber springs isolate the vibratory forces from the carrier, reducing wear and improving operator comfort.
Performance Specifications
  • Base Plate Size: Approximately 9 square feet, covering the width of skid-steer tires or tracks to prevent tire marks in the compacted soil.
  • Impulse Force: The Model 1000B generates up to 8,000 lbs of impact force, operating at about 2,000 cycles per minute to ensure effective compaction.
  • Hydraulic Flow Requirements: Between 12 to 21 gallons per minute, depending on the model, powered by the skid-steer's auxiliary hydraulics.
  • Compatible with carriers ranging from 4,000 to 14,000 lbs.
Applications
  • Ideal for compacting sub-bases prior to placing concrete or asphalt in paving projects.
  • Effective for backfilling alongside curbs, gutters, and slabs where heavy rollers cannot operate.
  • Useful in landscaping tasks for soil leveling and compaction before sodding or seeding.
  • Suitable for commercial, industrial, and institutional construction jobs requiring soil or crushed rock compaction.
Advantages Over Traditional Compactors
  • Mobility: Mounted on a skid-steer, it allows rapid repositioning and covers areas difficult for walk-behind or ride-on compactors.
  • Labor Cost Reduction: Combining excavation and compaction tasks using one machine reduces the need for multiple special-purpose equipment.
  • Versatility: Performs efficiently in flatwork and embankment building without the delay of setting up separate compactors.
Terminology
  • Eccentric Mass: Offset weight rotating to create vibration and impulse in the compactor.
  • Oil Splash Bearing Lubrication: A lubrication method where rotating parts are lubricated by oil splashing, reducing maintenance needs.
  • Four-Function Control Valve: A valve system managing multiple hydraulic functions including flow, pressure, and directional changes.
  • Base Plate: The bottom surface contacting the soil to transfer vibratory compaction energy.
  • Auxiliary Hydraulics: Additional hydraulic circuits on a carrier machine used to power implement attachments.
Industry Insight
Contractors using Allied Skid-Pacs report increased jobsite productivity and improved soil compaction quality. Their ability to seamlessly change from digging to compaction accelerates workflows and lowers equipment rental needs. The Skid-Pac's rugged design withstands typical jobsite demands, contributing to a lengthy service life.
Summary
The Allied Skid-Pac represents a significant advancement in vibratory compaction technology for skid-steer operators. Offering powerful impulse forces, maintenance-free operation, and easy integration, it provides a cost-effective and efficient solution to soil compaction challenges on modern job sites. Its design balances performance with operator comfort, enabling consistent compaction results across varied applications.
