SECTION 2.0
OVERVIEW
The Allied Ho-Pac is a boom-mounted,
hydraulically-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 vehicles.
The Allied NT8900 Ho-Pac can compact
up to 4 foot lifts of granular materials
and up to 3 foot lifts of loose clay soils to
densities of 95% Proctor. Soils with
moisture contents near their maximum
density improve compaction effective-
ness.
The Allied Ho-Pac vibrational 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.

SECTION 3.0
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
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.
The Ho-Pac features specially designed
spring mounts that direct the energy
forces to the compaction plate, not the
carrier boom. The weight of the Ho-Pac
and the boom, plus the high impulse
vibration forces produced by the Ho-Pac,
are ideal for compacting granular
materials. The vibrations generate stress
waves which bring the air in the soil to
the surface; the soil particles are
compressed and compacted. These same
forces can also effectively compact
cohesive materials
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 vibrational 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

MOUNTING INFORMATION
5.1 VMS Mounting
The VMS mounting kit contains two
collars, two plugs, and two pins as shown
in the diagram below. The combination
of the VMS design frame 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..
Also, Ho-Pacs can be quickly adapted to
different quick couplers.
VMS Mounting

5.2 BCS Mounting
The flat top Ho-Pac can be mounted on a
specific carrier with an adaptor bracket
that is bolted to the Ho-Pac top plate as
shown below. Brackets are available for
each mounting type and can be custom
designed when required. Each mounting
kit contains the mounting bracket,
fastener kit, pins; and bushings, spacers,
sleeve bushings and miscellaneous
hardware as required. The mounting
hardware varies by application and is
configured by Allied based on carrier
specifications. The illustration shown
below is a typical bracket; brackets vary
with the specific application.

7/21/0314

5.3 Swivel Mount
The optionalswivel mount provides
versatility in placing the Ho-Pac in
operating position. The Ho-Pac can be
turned or “swiveled” to operate at either
a 45oor a 90oangle to the boom. This is
especially good for compaction in
trenches, or whenever the area of
operation is not in line with the
stick. The bottom of the swivel mount
attaches to the Ho-Pac frame with
mounting pins and related hardware or
to the flat top with a fastener kit. The
top of the swivel mount is attached to
the carrier.
For more detailed swivel information
contact Allied Construction Products or
an Allied distributor.

GENERAL CONSTRUCTION SAFETY
6.1 Owner’s Responsibilities
The equipment owner shall:
x Provide this technical manual to the
Ho-Pac operators.
x Train all operating personnel and
enforce the procedures explained in
this manual, especially regarding
safety to personnel and equipment.
x Adapt these general instructions to
specific applications.
6.2 General Construction Safety
Follow standard safety precautions
expected and required of those working
in construction, including but not
limited to: locating existing underground
service and utility lines, establishing
pedestrian barriers and using personnel
protection equipment, etc.
6.3 Federal, State, Local and OSHA
Construction Guidelines and Regula-
tions
Use the Ho-Pac in accordance with all
federal, state and local regulations
regarding construction practices and
public safety. Identification of, and
compliance to, governing regulations are
the responsibility of the owner and
operator.
In the United States, comply with the
recommendations of the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration
standards of the U.S. Department of
Labor. For OSHA construction
guidelines contact your local federal
government office or write:
U.S. Government Printing Office
Superintendent of Documents
P.O. Box 371954
Pittsburgh, Pa. 15250
Ask for Construction Industry OSHA
Standards Stock #869-034-00107-6.
6.4 General Safety Summary
The safe and effective use of any heavy
construction equipment depends upon
proper installation, operation,
maintenance and repair. Operational
safety must encompass all of these
factors. This section includes minimum
safety policies the Ho-Pac owner shall
establish for all Ho-Pac installations.
The operational safety program must be
tailored by the Ho-Pac owner to the
specific site and application. Such a
program will result in increased
equipment life and performance and
reduced downtime. Most importantly, it
will reduce the risk of equipment
damage and personnel injuries.
6.4.1 CAUTIONS and WARNINGS
Throughout this manual detailed
CAUTIONS and WARNINGS are
included with the instructions and
procedures. Even experienced service
