Compaction Wheel is a non-powered excavator attachment that compacts soil by applying the machine’s downforce through a rolling wheel profile. It is commonly used for trench backfill and confined earthworks, particularly where repeated passes can knead and consolidate suitable soils.

Compaction performance depends on soil type, moisture condition, wheel geometry, carrier weight and operating technique. Selection should match the trench width, required working profile, excavator size and attachment interface.
