Multiquip 472471010 Shock Absorber - OEM Replacement Part for Plate Compactors

The shock absorber is a critical vibration isolation component that protects the operator and handle assembly from the high-frequency vibrations generated by the compactor's vibrating plate during operation. This genuine OEM part dampens the 5,400 VPM (90 Hz) vibration frequency produced by the eccentric weight system, ensuring comfortable operation and preventing fatigue during extended compaction work.

Designed specifically for the MVH128GH reversible plate compactor, this shock absorber maintains proper isolation between the engine/handle assembly and the vibrating base plate. The MVH128GH operates at 3,600 RPM engine speed with a centrifugal compaction force transmitted through the plate, making effective vibration dampening essential for operator comfort and equipment longevity. Signs that this shock absorber may need replacement include excessive handle vibration, unusual noise during operation, visible wear or cracking of the rubber components, or increased operator hand-arm vibration levels beyond the specified 3.4 m/s².

This shock absorber is engineered to withstand the demanding conditions of compacting sand, gravel, and cohesive soils in applications including road construction, embankments, and utility backfilling work.
