Vibratory compactors which are intended to be attached to mobile vehicles, such as a forklift truck, skid steer loader, front end loader, or the like. The vibratory compactors are capable of compacting or tamping soil, and/or other materials suitable for compacting or tamping, over extensive areas.

Vibratory compactors which are intended to be attached to mobile vehicles, such as a forklift truck, skid steer loader, front end loader, or the like. The vibratory compactors are capable of compacting or tamping soil, and/or other materials suitable for compacting or tamping, over extensive areas. The vibratory compactors can tilt in the pitch and roll directions, and the amount of tilt in the pitch and roll directions can be confined.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A compactor which is adapted to be coupled to a mobile device, the compactor for compacting an area that is subject to a soil compacting operation, the compactor comprising:a plate capable of vibrating having a lower surface intended to contact the soil selected in the soil compacting operation;a vibration unit fixed to the plate for vibrating the plate; a pair of spaced-apart yokes, each yoke having a first end and a second end;a pair of spaced-apart coupling means for coupling the first end of each of the yokes to the plate;at least one supporting member having a proximal end and a pair of spaced-apart generally triangular plate members, each plate member including a projecting distal end, the distal ends being positioned substantially above the plate;a pair of spaced-apart pitch pivot means for defining a pitch axis, the pitch pivot means connecting the second ends of the yokes to the plate member distal ends, wherein the pitch pivot means permits the plate to tilt along the pitch axis;pitch limiting means for limiting the amount of pitch tilt allowed by the pitch pivot means to a pre-defined range; androll pivot means included in the supporting member for defining a roll axis which is substantially perpendicular to the pitch axis.
