Multiquip 416121740 Guard Hook Assembly - OEM Replacement Part for Plate Compactors

This guard hook assembly serves as a critical safety and locking component on the MVC88VTH/VTHW plate compactor, securing the machine in the tilted position during wheel kit installation, transport, and storage. When installing optional wheel kits (WHL88TC or WHL88T), this hook engages with the lock holder on the vibrating plate to safely stabilize the compactor while wheels are positioned away from the rear of the machine, preventing accidental movement or collapse during setup.

The guard hook works in conjunction with the lock wire system on the handle body, providing a secure attachment point when the compactor is tilted back on its wheels. This component is essential for safe operation when transitioning between transport and operational modes, particularly on the MVC88VTH and MVC88VTHW models which feature operating weights of 207 lbs and 229 lbs respectively. Replacement may be necessary if the hook shows wear, deformation, or fails to securely engage with the lock holder during tilting procedures.

Compatible Models:

• MVC88VTH
• MVC88VTHW
