The Multiquip 458450620 Shock Absorber Med55 M12 is a genuine OEM component designed for MVH-120GH and MVH120VGH reversible plate compactors. As a direct OEM replacement, this shock absorber meets the original engineering specifications for these heavy-duty reversible plate machines, delivering the vibration isolation performance your equipment depends on. Confirm your model against MVH-120GH or MVH120VGH before ordering to ensure a correct match.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Vibration Damping Spec — Manufactured to the exact Med55 M12 damping rating specified for Multiquip MVH reversible plate compactors, maintaining the engineered balance between operator comfort and compaction force.
- Direct-Fit Mounting — M12 thread specification matches the factory mount points on MVH-120GH and MVH120VGH frames, allowing straightforward installation without modification to hardware or mounting brackets.
- Confirmed Fitment — Verified for MVH-120GH and MVH120VGH reversible plate compactors; reference your model code before ordering.
- Sustained Handle Isolation — A correctly functioning shock absorber absorbs the high-frequency vibration generated by the exciter plate, protecting operator hands and arms during extended compaction runs.
- Operator Safety Compliance — Reversible plate compactors generate significant whole-body and hand-arm vibration; running worn or failed shock absorbers can push vibration exposure beyond safe operating thresholds, making timely replacement critical.
The shock absorber on a reversible plate compactor serves as the isolation barrier between the vibrating base plate and the operator handle assembly. As the exciter mechanism drives the plate to compact soil or asphalt, the shock absorber absorbs and dissipates that high-frequency vibration before it travels up the frame, protecting both the operator and the machine's structural components. When a shock absorber degrades or fails, excess vibration transfers directly to the handle, accelerating operator fatigue, reducing steering control, and increasing stress on surrounding frame welds and hardware.
