Crafts compaction wheel is an option to achieve desired compaction levels at a lower price point when backfilling trenches and other types of dirt work. Comparing to a vibratory machine, the compaction wheel is able to avoid the trouble of loosening joints in water, gas and sewer lines, damaging foundations, slabs, or electronic equipment. You can get the same compaction no matter you move your compaction wheel fast or slow, however, the moving speed of a vibratory machine affect the compaction a lot, fast speed means poor compaction.
