Gardner Engineering’s Compaction Wheels provide a fast, efficient solution for compacting soil and backfill during excavation and trenching operations. Built for strength and performance, each wheel features heavy-duty tynes (feet) that penetrate and compress material with each pass, achieving solid and consistent compaction across the surface.
Manufactured in Australia using high-tensile steel, these wheels are tailored to your machine size and available in multiple widths and drum diameters. They are ideal for pipe laying, trenching, and general civil works where compaction is essential to prevent future settlement or ground movement.
What It’s Used For:
- Compacting soil in trenches and backfills

FAQS
Can you customise the wheel to match my trench width?
Yes, we build each wheel to match your job specs and machine hitch setup.
How does this compare to using a vibrating plate?
Compaction wheels are more efficient for trenching and offer better depth with less manual labour involved.
What kind of soil types can they handle?
These wheels are suitable for a wide range of soils including clay, sand, and gravel.
: Are these made in Australia?
Yes, all compaction wheels are designed and built in-house by Gardner Engineering in Queensland.
