UAM COMPACTION BUCKETS

Excavation and compaction without having to change attachments

Our range of VDL300XS to VDL800L UAM compaction buckets provides the perfect complement to UAM proline plate compactor attachments.

They are an especially cost-effective alternative for efficient compaction work when used with carriers that do not have a fully hydraulic quick coupler system.

PRODUCT: COMPACTION BUCKET

Compelling advantages

UAM compaction buckets combine excavation, backfiller, and compaction attachments into a single product that is ONE OF A KIND on the market.

With a vibration motor in the bucket, this attachment can replace  a compactor or vibratory plate compactor.

Vibrations are eliminated with rubber isolators. In addition, the bucket is locked in place with a hydraulic cylinder during excavator operation so that the compaction bucket can be used as a normal digging tool.

LESS DOWNTIME = LOWER COSTS
Do YOU have personnel to spare for manual work at your site?
Take full advantage of the latest in machine engineering and make more efficient use of your excavator!

The benefits

  • Combines a full-fledged bucket with a full-fledged compactor
  • Ability to take full advantage of carriers
  • No costly idling or downtimes
  • Frees up capacity by eliminating the need for hand-operated vibratory plate compactors
  • Reduced noise, vibrations, and emissions
  • Reduced fuel consumption and CO2 emissions
  • Does not require a fully hydraulic quick coupler system (but is compatible with them)
  • Low acquisition costs
  • High cost-effectiveness

Applications

  • Compacting surface areas and trenches
  • Compacting deep trenches, in embedments

Excavation, backfilling, AND compaction WITHOUT having to change attachments!

Make your mini / compact excavator more efficient than ever before!
Does not require a fully hydraulic quick coupler system. 
Wherever excavation takes place, compaction IS SOON to follow.

25 years ago, we made plate compactor attachments a mainstay on the market. We then followed that up by introducing our compaction buckets as a world first at bauma 2016…
