WACKER NEUSON RTLX-SC3 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The WACKER NEUSON RTLX-SC3 Static Smooth Drum Roller is a compact, high-performance trench roller designed for efficient soil compaction. It measures 63.0 x 30.0 x 36.0 inches and weighs approximately 2,200 lbs, offering a balance of maneuverability and stability. Powered by a 24.8 HP engine, it achieves a travel speed of 3.1 mph, suitable for controlled compaction tasks. The roller features a 24.0-inch diameter drum with a 30.0-inch width, optimized for smooth and consistent surface compaction. Control is facilitated via a dual joystick system, allowing precise and ergonomic operation. A key feature includes its flexible drum width, adjustable from 22 to 32 inches on some models, enhancing adaptability to varying trench widths. The articulated joint design, combined with a low center of gravity, improves maneuverability and machine stability, minimizing tipping risks during operation. The roller employs below-axle exciters, which efficiently transfer compaction energy directly to the soil, improving compaction performance while reducing machine wear and maintenance costs. An infrared line-of-sight remote control system increases operator safety by enabling control from a distance, with automatic shutdown features if the operator comes within unsafe proximity or signal is lost. The machine also includes tip-over protection that halts operation if side-to-side angles exceed 45°, preventing damage and enhancing durability. This model typically delivers a maximum centrifugal force of about 15,377 lbf, generating strong compaction force suitable for trench and pipeline construction jobs requiring consistent soil densification and surface smoothness.
