SECTION 2.0
OVERVIEW
The Allied Ho-Pac is a boom-mounted,
hydraulic powered, vibrating plate
compactor and driver. It is used for soil
compaction and sheet/pile installation. The
Ho-Pac is typically mounted on either a
rubber tired or track construction vehicle.
The Allied 1000 series Ho-Pac is effective
in compacting materials up to 4 foot lifts.
Compaction results are dependent on soil
type, moisture content, compaction time
and operational technique. Soils with 50%
or more granular content are the most
responsive to vibration compaction.
Optimum moisture content is also critical
to achieving maximum compacted
densities of fill material. Fill materials
may need conditioning prior to
compaction.
The Allied Ho-Pac vibrating compactor
consists of the following major
subassemblies:
The DYNAMIC ASSEMBLY includes the
hydraulic motor, bearings, eccentric mass,
housing frame and base plate. This
assembly generates and transfers the
vibratory energy to the soil.
The SUSPENSION SYSTEM has spring
mounts that suspend and isolate the
Dynamic Assembly from the Mounting
Frame.
The MOUNTING FRAME houses the
Suspension System and mounts to the
boom of the carrier.
The HYDRAULIC CONTROL VALVE is
a multi-function, hydraulic control valve
that regulates hydraulic flow and protects
the Ho-Pac from excessive hydraulic
pressures and flows. The specific valve
functions are:
• Flow control: The valve limits the
oil flow to optimize Ho-Pac
operation and longevity. Excess
flow results in excessive motor
speed and shortens bearing and
motor life.
• Pressure control: The valve limits
the operating pressure to protect the
Ho-Pac motor from damage caused
by excessive pressure. The relief
pressure is pre-set to match the
motor’s maximum operating
pressure plus 200 psi (14 bar).
• Anti-cavitation circuit: The valve
controls the Ho-Pac motor and
eccentric deceleration. Without
this circuit, abrupt changes in the
return flow from the Ho-Pac to the
carrier can cause damaging
pressure spikes.
• Return line check valve: The valve
prevents reverse flow to the
hydraulic motor and provides a
nominal back-pressure to insure the
proper operation of carrier
mounted, flow control valves.

SECTION 3.0
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
3.1 Ho-Pac
The Allied Ho-Pac is a high-energy
compaction tool utilizing three compaction
techniques:
• The IMPULSE FORCE generated
by the rotating eccentric mass
vibrates the soil near the base plate
to eliminate voids between material
particles.
• The VIBRATION FREQUENCY
of 2000 r.p.m. provides maximum
effectiveness for the consolidation
and compaction of granular soil
materials.
• The DOWN FORCE of the carrier
provides a preload force to
effectively transfer the vibrating
energy and to compress the
material.
Optimum compaction is usually obtained
with two passes. The duration of the initial
pass is dependent on depth and material.
The second pass may require additional fill
material and Ho-Pac repositioning to
achieve a finished surface.
The Allied Ho-Pac can also be an effective
sheet or pile driver. The Ho-Pac’s
vibration energy is transferred through the
sheet or pile to the soil. Sandy soils and
moist clays are “softened” by the vibration,
which allows the sheet or pile to penetrate
more easily.
3.2 Hydraulic Installation Definition
Efficient operation, production rates and
service life of Allied attachments depend
on the correct hydraulic oil flow and
pressures. Adjust the carrier's hydraulic
system accordingly during installation and
start-up. Among other important
information, the Allied technical
specifications include Hydraulic Flow,
Operating Pressure, Dynamic Relief
Pressure and Static Relief Pressure. These
parameters are defined as:
• HYDRAULIC FLOW is the
hydraulic oil flow range, minimum
to maximum, necessary for proper
attachment operation. Operating
the attachment outside this range
can result in inefficient operation,
damage to the attachment, or injury
to personnel.
• HYDRAULIC OPERATING
PRESSURE is the average
hydraulic oil pressure measured at
the attachment during operation.
The Hydraulic Operating Pressure
range is the range of pressure
required to operate the attachment
throughout the Hydraulic Flow
range. The Operating Pressure is
not to be used as a relief valve
pressure setting.
• DYNAMIC RELIEF PRESSURE
is the hydraulic oil pressure when
the relief valve starts to open and
divert oil back to the carrier instead
of the attachment. The carrier's
hydraulic system shall be capable
of providing the desired oil flow at
a pressure equal to at least the
dynamic relief pressure. Also it is
very important not to control the oil
flow with the relief valve. This
may cause significant heat
4

1000 Series Ho-Pac
generation and damage the
attachment and/or carrier.
• STATIC RELIEF PRESSURE is
the hydraulic oil pressure when all
oil flow is diverted through the
relief valve and away from the
attachment. The attachment must
never be subjected to pressures
above the static relief pressure.
The difference between static relief
pressure and dynamic relief
pressure varies with relief valve
design. In some instances, the
relief valve may be inadequate to
divert full oil flow at less than the
Static Relief Pressure. If this is the
case, contact your local Allied
dealer for assistance.

MOUNTING INFORMATION
5.1 USF Mounting
Allied USF mounting kits include all the
components necessary for the mechanical
installation of the USF style Ho-Pac. A
typical kit consists of two mounting pins,
four flange bushings or collars, and pin
retaining hardware. Mounting kits are
purchased separately.

Possible Configurations.
All components are installed inside the HoPac frame.
These items may be included with Mounting Kit.
Since the pin center-to-center distance is
fixed, quick couplers may not be possible
when using the USF configuration. The
following illustration shows the contents of
a typical USF Mounting Kit.
5.3 BR or SR Mounting
The flat top style Ho-Pac is mounted to a
specific carrier by using an adapter bracket
that is bolted to the Ho-Pac top plate.
Brackets are available for either mounting
type and are designed to match the carrier
requirements. A typical bracket is shown
below.
5.2 BSF Mounting
Allied BSF mounting kits include all the
components necessary for the mechanical
installation of the BSF style Ho-Pac. The
kit is supplied in one of the configurations
shown below.
In configurations #2, 3, 4, 5 & 6, the kit
includes bushings that fit into the carrier
stick and link. These bushings are
necessary to adapt to the smaller diameter
pins supplied in the kit.

1000 Series Ho-Pac
5.4 VMS Mounting
The combination of the VMS frame design
and a VMS mounting kit provides
unequaled versatility and ease in attaching
the units to carriers, and in transferring a
Ho-Pac from one carrier to another. The
typical VMS mounting kit contains two
collars, two plugs, and two pins as shown
in the diagram below. The VMS Ho-Pac
design is easily adapted to most quick
couplers.
