Compact Hazardous Deep Trenches Remotely with 15,300 lbf High-Impact Force
The Third Coast Equipment RT16Y remote control wireless padfoot trench roller delivers industrial-grade soil consolidation and hazardous-site compaction for deep utility excavations, pipeline installations, and structural foundations. Driven by a 20 HP Yanmar 3-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel engine, this 4,035-pound machine generates a massive 15,300 lbf of centrifugal force at a 2,520 VPM vibration frequency to eliminate deep air pockets in heavy clay. The specialized expandable padfoot drum drive system adjusts easily between 24-inch and 36-inch widths to match varying trench profiles, utilizing a full-feature radio frequency remote control to keep operators safely outside high-risk open excavations.

Best Used For:

  • Hazardous Trench Compaction: Consolidating thick soil lifts in high-risk utility cuts, pipeline excavations, and deep sewer lines from a safe above-ground distance.
  • Cohesive Clay Consolidation: Pounding high-moisture cohesive clays and heavy silt matrices down to strict municipal structural density requirements.
  • Confined Site Infrastructure Work: Backfilling around bridge abutments, structural grade beams, and commercial foundation footings using a 50% gradeability system.

Key Performance & Safety Features

  • Full Wireless Radio Control: Long-range radio frequency remote keeps personnel entirely out of cave-in zones while maintaining precise machine control.
  • Expandable Padfoot Drums: Versatile dual-width configurations change rapidly between 24 inches and 36 inches to adapt to structural job requirements.
  • Yanmar Diesel Performance: High-torque 20 HP 3-cylinder liquid-cooled engine supplies reliable, continuous power for aggressive vertical-impact cycles.
  • Advanced Tip-Over Protection: Automatic tilt sensor shuts off the motor instantly during an overturn event to eliminate severe structural engine damage.
  • Heavy-Duty Steel Hood: All-steel wrap-around hood enclosure provides industrial-grade defense against jobsite debris impacts and wall scrapes.
