Multiquip 470468960 Control Shaft - OEM Replacement Part for Plate Compactors

The control shaft is a critical mechanical linkage component that enables directional control on reversible plate compactors, translating operator input from the direction control lever to the machine's drive system. This shaft allows the operator to switch between forward, reverse, and neutral positions during compaction operations.

Designed for the Mikasa MVH208 series reversible plate compactors, this control shaft is essential for proper operation when compacting sand, gravel, and cohesive soils in applications including road construction, embankments, reservoirs, and backfilling for gas pipelines, water pipelines, and cable installation work. The MVH208DZ model features a Hatz 1B30 diesel engine, while the MVH208GH uses a Honda GX240UT2SMXC or GX270UT2SCM gasoline engine. Both models produce 5,200 vibrations per minute with a travel speed of approximately 85 feet per minute.

A worn or damaged control shaft can result in difficulty shifting between forward and reverse modes, loss of directional control, or inability to engage the drive system properly. Regular inspection of the control shaft and associated linkages is recommended during routine maintenance intervals.

This control shaft is compatible with the following Multiquip plate compactor models:

• MVH208DZ
• MVH208GH
