Multiquip Mikasa 8511S — Genuine OEM 11" Wood Shoe Kit for MTX70HD, MTX70HDR, MTX70HF & MTX80HDR Tamping RammersThe shoe is the only part of a tamping rammer that touches the ground. On a Multiquip MTX Series rammer running at full RPM, the foot strikes the substrate 644 to 695 times every minute roughly 310,000 to 334,000 ground impacts in a single 8 hour shift. The laminated wood shoe absorbs every one of those impacts, and over time it cracks, splits, separates from its tempered steel base plate, and walks the mounting bolts loose. Multiquip part 8511S is
