Multiquip 456449940 Shock Absorber - OEM Replacement Part for MVH Plate Compactors

The shock absorber is a critical vibration-dampening component that protects the handle bar assembly and operator from excessive vibration transmitted by the plate compactor's high-frequency eccentric weight system. This genuine Multiquip shock absorber is designed specifically for MVH-series reversible plate compactors, which operate at 5,200 vibrations per minute and generate tremendous compaction force through consecutive high-frequency impacts. Without proper shock absorption, operators experience excessive fatigue and the handle bar components suffer premature wear and potential structural failure.

This OEM shock absorber maintains the proper damping characteristics required for smooth operation during forward and reverse compaction cycles. It mounts between the handle bar assembly and the main compactor frame, isolating vibration while maintaining precise control of the direction control lever. Regular inspection of shock absorbers is essential, as deteriorated or failed units compromise operator comfort and equipment control.

• MVH208DZ, MVH208GH
