SEVERE-DUTY COMPACTION FOR LARGE EXCAVATORS
The EXCL Series covers large excavators from 75,000–115,000 lb and brings SUI’s severe-duty construction to high-capacity trench, pipeline, infrastructure and site-development applications.
- AR400 wear points at high-wear contact areas
- Double tapered roller bearings
- Self-cleaning design helps reduce soil buildup
- Removable mounting plate supports machine-to-machine versatility
- Wedge Pads standard; sheepsfoot available
- Custom wheel widths available for job-specific requirements
BOTTOM-UP COMPACTION
Wheel penetration works through the lift, helping reduce soil bridging and voids while processing and compacting backfill.
COHESIVE SOIL PROCESSING
The wheel’s shearing and kneading action can help break up clay and remix cohesive material during trench backfill.
STATIC, SIMPLE OPERATION
The wheel installs in place of the bucket and does not require a special hydraulic power system.
EXCL SERIES APPLICATIONS
Designed for large excavators in the 75,000–115,000 lb class working in demanding utility, pipeline, infrastructure, deep-trench and site-development applications.
UTILITY & PIPELINE TRENCHES
Compact backfill in water, sewer, gas, electrical and pipeline trench applications using the carrier already performing excavation.
ROAD & SITE DEVELOPMENT
Use the EXCL Series for major roadway, infrastructure and commercial site-development excavations requiring high-capacity backfill compaction.
FOUNDATIONS & STRUCTURAL BACKFILL
Static wheel compaction can be effective in confined foundation and structural backfill areas where carrier reach is valuable.
CLAY & MIXED BACKFILL
The rolling, shearing and kneading action helps process cohesive soils while the wheel compacts through the lift.
HOW TO SELECT YOUR EXCL SERIES COMPACTION WHEEL
Start with the carrier operating weight, then confirm wheel width, mounting arrangement and pad configuration with SUI.
1. CONFIRM THE CARRIER
Provide the excavator manufacturer, model and operating weight. The EXCL Series covers 75,000–115,000 lb large excavators.
2. MATCH THE WORKING WIDTH
EXCL Series standard widths run from 24″ to 60″. Match the wheel to trench width, lift conditions and project requirements.
3. CONFIRM MOUNT & PAD
Provide direct pin-on or coupler information and select standard Wedge Pads or optional sheepsfoot based on the application.
NEED A CUSTOM EXCL WHEEL?
Steel Unlimited can manufacture custom EXCL Series widths and configurations when a standard wheel does not match the carrier or job.

WHY USE A STATIC COMPACTION WHEEL ON A LARGE EXCAVATOR?
COMPACTS THROUGH THE LIFT
An open compaction wheel can penetrate into the lift instead of only acting at the surface, helping reduce bridging and unprocessed material.
NO AUXILIARY HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT
The EXCL Series works through excavator movement and downforce, so no special vibratory hydraulic system is required.
BACKFILL + COMPACT
The integrated plate can help move and level material so the operator can perform more trench-backfill work with one attachment.
Compaction results vary with soil, moisture, lift thickness, carrier, wheel selection and project requirements. Follow job specifications and field density testing where required.
EXCL SERIES FAQ
Answers to common excavator compaction-wheel selection questions.
WHAT MACHINES DOES THE SUI EXCL SERIES FIT?
The current published EXCL Series machine class is 75,000–115,000 lb and is intended for large excavators. Confirm the exact carrier make/model and mounting arrangement before ordering.
WHAT EXCL SERIES WIDTHS ARE AVAILABLE?
Steel Unlimited currently publishes standard EXCL Series wheel widths from 24″ to 60″. Custom widths can be manufactured for job-specific requirements.
DOES THE EXCL SERIES REQUIRE HYDRAULICS?
No special hydraulic power system is required. The static wheel installs in place of the bucket using the machine’s attachment arrangement.
WEDGE PAD OR SHEEPSFOOT?
Wedge Pads are the standard SUI configuration going forward, with sheepsfoot available as an option. Selection should be based on soil and job requirements.
CAN SUI BUILD A CUSTOM EXCL SERIES WHEEL?
Yes. Steel Unlimited offers special-order and custom compaction-wheel widths and configurations upon request.
WHAT SHOULD I SEND SUI FOR A QUOTE?
Provide machine manufacturer/model, operating weight, desired wheel or trench width, direct pin-on or coupler information, preferred pad style and job location.
READY TO SPEC YOUR EXCL SERIES WHEEL?
Send SUI your carrier make/model, operating weight, desired wheel width, mount information and pad preference for a fitment recommendation and quote.
