Third Coast Equipment RT16Y Remote Control Trench Roller Yanmar Diesel 4035lb Expandable 24-36in Padfoot Drums 15300 lbf Cohesive Soil Compactor

Master Deep Trench Compaction with the Remote-Controlled Power and Expandable Versatility of the RT16Y Diesel Roller

The Third Coast Equipment RT16Y Remote Control Trench Roller is a high-performance compaction powerhouse specifically engineered for the most hazardous and confined job site conditions. Powered by a reliable 20 HP Yanmar 3-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel engine, this 4,035 lb machine generates a massive 15,300 lbf of centrifugal force, making it the ultimate tool for compacting heavy clay and cohesive soils in deep excavations. The RT16Y features expandable padfoot drums that can be easily configured for both 24-inch and 36-inch trench widths, providing elite flexibility for utility contractors, pipeline installers, and foundation crews. By utilizing a full-feature radio frequency remote, operators can achieve perfect compaction density from a safe distance, completely removing personnel from the high-risk environment of an open trench.

Built to survive the industrial rigors of the modern job site, the RT16Y is encased in a rugged, full steel hood that offers superior impact resistance compared to standard plastic alternatives. This trench roller is equipped with advanced safety technology, including an integrated tip-over engine shutoff sensor that prevents costly internal damage by automatically killing the motor in the event of an overturn. With a staggering 50% gradeability rating and a precision-engineered vibratory system delivering 2,520 VPM, the RT16Y ensures structural stability for even the most demanding infrastructure projects. Invest in a compaction solution that combines industrial durability with wireless precision to maximize your productivity and safety in every trench.

Key Features

• Full Wireless Radio Control: Enhances operator safety by allowing full machine control from a safe distance outside the trench.
• Expandable Padfoot Drums: Versatile drum design allows for quick adjustment between 24-inch and 36-inch widths to fit specific project requirements.

Specifications

Pro-Tip: When working in deep clay, utilize the expandable drums at the 36-inch setting to increase surface contact and stability. Always maintain a clear line of sight with the RT16Y during remote operation; even though the radio range is extensive, keeping a direct visual ensures you can react instantly to soil shifts or obstacles within the trench.
