A compaction unit configured for use in the compaction of a surface in connection with construction, excavation and other earth-working or related activities. The compaction unit may be configured as an attachment that can be interchangeably attached to various types of construction machines, operating machines and equipment (such as, but not limited to excavators, backhoes and the like). The compaction unit may be configured as single compaction device capable of performing any combination of (i) vibratory compaction, (ii) roller compaction, (iii) and plate compaction. These capabilities enable the unit to function as a single attachment that can operate as a roller compaction wheel, a vibrating roller compaction wheel, and a vibratory compaction plate depending on the desired application and requirements of the operator.

A wheel guard includes a guard member disposed on a compactor wheel. The guard member has a first side having a first portion and a second portion. The second portion is offset from the first portion such that to define a first stepped recess therein. The guard member has a second side disposed opposite to the first side. The first portion has a first cross-sectional thickness and the second portion has a second cross-sectional thickness such that the second cross-sectional thickness is lesser than the first cross-sectional thickness. The guard member has a first top surface defined by the first portion, and a second top surface defined by the second portion and partially by the first portion. The second top surface is offset from the first top surface such that to define a second stepped recess therein. The wheel guard includes a base plate and a wear pad coupled thereto.

A roller tool for a soil processing roller includes a tool carrier to be fixed to an outer circumferential side of a carrier jacket and has a tethering area for fixedly tethering the tool carrier to an outer circumferential surface of the carrier jacket and an interchangeable holder clamping region, an interchangeable tool having an interchangeable tool shank elongated in the direction of a shank longitudinal axis, an interchangeable holder having an interchangeable holder opening elongated in the direction of an opening longitudinal axis for receiving the interchangeable tool shank of the interchangeable tool to be detachably fixed to the interchangeable holder and with an interchangeable holder counter-clamping region. The interchangeable holder counter-clamping region is brought into clamping interaction with the interchangeable holder clamping region for detachably fixing the interchangeable holder to the tool carrier. A clamping member is supported for generating the clamping interaction with respect to the tool carrier and the interchangeable holder.

A roller tool for a soil processing roller of a soil processing machine incudes a tool holder to be fixed on an outer peripheral side of a carrier casing. The tool holder has an attachment region for fixed attachment on an outer peripheral surface of the carrier casing and a tool holder opening elongated in the direction of an opening longitudinal axis for accommodating a replaceable tool shaft of a replaceable tool to be detachably fixed on the tool holder. The tool holder includes a first tool holder part, wherein the attachment region is provided completely on the first tool holder part, and a second tool holder part to be detachably attached to the first tool holder part. The second tool holder part, together with the first tool holder part, delimits the tool holder opening in the circumferential direction around the opening longitudinal axis.

An integrated outer wheel assembly for a compactor vehicle is disclosed. The outer wheel assembly has a hollow cylindrical wrapper, and the wrapper has an inboard side and an outboard side. The wrapper further has one or more tips on an outer surface of the wrapper. The integrated outer wheel assembly is secured to a wheel core.

A guard for a compactor vehicle that includes a base and a cap. The base comprises a body and a retention feature. The body defines an underside, configured to engage a wheel of the compactor vehicle, and an opposing cap-facing side. The cap comprises an outer surface and a retention feature. The outer surface defines a compaction surface. The retention features of the base and cap interlock with one another to secure the cap to the base. A cavity is defined in the underside of the base.

A soil preparation roller system for a soil preparation machine includes a roller body rotatable around a roller rotational axis having a carrier structure for the rotatable mounting of the roller body and having a carrier jacket supported on the radial outside on the carrier structure, a group of working jackets to be positioned abutting a carrier jacket outer side and providing a working outer side of a soil preparation roller. Each working jacket includes a plurality of working jacket segments to be arranged successively in the circumferential direction completely enclosing the roller body annularly, and the group of working jackets includes at least two working jackets having essentially equal mass to one another.

A sheath for a soil working roller (20) of a soil processing machine, said sheath is rotatable about a roller axis of rotation and comprises a plurality of sheath segments (40), mounted or mountable to surround a roller body (22) of the soil working roller (20) and following one another in the circumferential direction, wherein a plurality of roller tools (48) is arranged on an outer side of the sheath segments (40) positioned to be facing away from the roller body, wherein at least one part of the roller tools (48) comprise an interchangeable holder mounted on a respective sheath segment (48) and a replaceable tool detachably mounted or mountable on the interchangeable holder of the same, wherein a fastening opening is formed in the interchangeable holder for accommodating a fastening shaft of a replaceable tool mounted or to be mounted on the interchangeable holder, wherein a tool through opening (84) is provided in association with the at least one interchangeable holder in the sheath segment (40) supporting the same.

A soil working roller for a soil processing machine comprises a roller body (22), rotatable about a roller axis of rotation (W), with a support structure (28) for rotatable mounting of the roller body (22) and with a support sheath (34) supported radially outward on the support structure (22), further comprising a working sheath (38), which contacts a support sheath outer side (36) and provides a working exterior (46) of the soil working roller (20) and comprises a plurality of working sheath segments (40), following one another in the circumferential direction, wherein each working sheath segment (40) has a segment shell (42) and a plurality of radially inwardly projecting fastening means (76) are fixedly arranged on each segment shell (42) facing the support sheath outer side (36) of the support sheath (34) and/or on the segment shell inner side supporting the support sheath outer side (36), and wherein a fastening means through opening (78) is provided in the support sheath (34) in association with each fastening means (76), and each fastening means (76) engaging through a fastening means through opening (78) projects on a support sheath inner side of the support sheath (34) for fastening to or with respect to the roller body (22).
