The Multiquip 455435051 Piston is a genuine OEM component designed for the MVH series reversible plate compactors, covering a wide range of models including MVHeR60, MVH208GH, MVH308GH, MVH408GH, MVH508GH, MVH308DZ, MVH408DZ, MVH508DZ, MVH308DE, MVH408DE, MVH508DE, MVH128GH, MVH158GH, MVH304GSB, and MVH508GV. Sourced directly from Multiquip, part 455435051 is built to the same specification as the original component installed at the factory. Keeping the compaction system operating at full efficiency depends on a correctly fitted, properly sized piston, making this an important service item for any MVH machine in regular rotation.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Dimensional Accuracy — Machined to the exact bore diameter and stroke specification of the original MVH piston, ensuring proper compression and exciter performance.
- Drop-In Replacement — Engineered to install directly into the exciter housing of compatible MVH models without modification to the bore or surrounding components.
- Broad MVH Series Compatibility — Fits MVH128GH, MVH158GH, MVH208GH, MVH304GSB, MVH308GH, MVH308DZ, MVH308DE, MVH408GH, MVH408DZ, MVH408DE, MVH508GH, MVH508DZ, MVH508DE, MVH508GV, and MVHeR60.
- Compaction Force Integrity — A worn or damaged piston reduces the centrifugal force output of the exciter, resulting in poor compaction depth and uneven surface density — replacing it restores full compactive effort.
- Verified Multiquip Part Number — Confirm fitment using Multiquip part number 455435051 before ordering to ensure this piston matches your specific MVH model configuration.
The piston in a reversible plate compactor's exciter assembly is a core component of the vibration generation system. It works within the eccentric mechanism to produce the oscillating force that drives the plate against the ground surface, compacting soil, gravel, or asphalt. When the piston wears, becomes scored, or loses proper fit within the bore, the exciter loses efficiency — vibration output drops, compaction depth decreases, and the machine may develop unusual noise or vibration imbalance. Replacing a worn piston with a correctly sized OEM part restores the full exciter output the MVH series was designed to deliver.
