Multiquip RX1575 Trench Roller – Remote-Controlled Power for Tight Trenches
The RX1575 trench roller is Multiquip’s flagship solution for contractors who demand high-density results in confined excavations where large equipment cannot operate. Purpose-built as a smart walk behind compactor, this articulated machine delivers the punch of a ride-on drum while keeping crews safely outside the trench. With dual vibration settings, robust diesel power, and intuitive infrared controls, the RX1575 trench roller transforms challenging clay, cohesive backfill, and pipeline bedding into rock-solid foundations.
High-Output Vibratory System
At the heart of the RX1575 trench roller lies a sealed exciter that generates up to 16,860 lb. (high amplitude) or 8,430 lb. (low amplitude) of centrifugal force at 2,460 vpm. Operators can toggle between settings in seconds, tailoring impact energy to lift thickness and soil type. This makes the unit a versatile soil compactor roller that consolidates deep clay layers without overstressing granular top lifts. A fuel-sipping, 20-hp liquid-cooled diesel engine drives the vibration system for more than 11 hours on a single tank—perfect for full-shift productivity.
Articulation, Oscillation & Traction
An articulating/oscillating joint keeps both padfoot drums firmly on grade, boosting traction and reducing roll-over risk on 40 % slopes. Heavy steel pads chew through slippery soils, while dual scrapers prevent buildup that can rob compaction force. Whether you’re working across uneven trench walls or ramping out of a pit, this agile trench compactor maintains constant drum contact for uniform density.
Remote Control Safety & Ease
The roller’s wireless infrared remote offers 66 ft (20 m) of line-of-sight control and features automatic shut-down if the signal is lost or an operator steps within eight feet. Staying out of the ditch eliminates the cave-in hazards common with manual tampers and traditional walk behind compactors. A solar panel keeps the remote charged, and a wired backup port ensures operation even if the battery is depleted.
Serviceability & Low Ownership Cost
Multiquip designed this soil compactor roller around fast, tool-free maintenance. Flip-up hoods provide instant access to filters, drains, and clearly numbered hydraulic lines, while lifetime-lubricated bearings remove daily greasing from the schedule. Quick-attach drum rings change working width from 24 in to 33 in in minutes, allowing a single trench compactor to tackle narrow utility runs one day and broad lift pads the next.
Ideal Applications
- Pipeline & Utility Trenches – Achieve spec density around pipe haunches without handwork.
- Structural Backfill – Articulated drums conform to formwork, ensuring stable footings for walls and slabs.
- Road Widening & Patch Prep – Lock sub-base before the blacktop crew’s arrival, replacing heavier ride-on units with a nimble walk behind compactor.
Raise Your Compaction Standard
Add the RX1575 trench roller to your fleet and watch production soar while safety risks fall. This smart soil compactor roller delivers the force, flexibility, and remote control technology modern crews need to meet today’s strict density specifications, proving that one advanced trench compactor can outperform larger, costlier machines in the toughest spaces.
