Description

RX1575 Trench Roller

Compact Power for Maximum Jobsite Productivity

The RX1575 trench roller from Multiquip is designed for contractors who need high-density compaction in confined areas where larger machines cannot operate. Purpose-built for safety and performance, this versatile unit combines the power of a ride-on drum with the control of a remote-operated system. By replacing outdated manual tampers or smaller compactors, the RX1575 trench roller helps crews achieve consistent results in pipeline bedding, cohesive backfill, and structural foundations.

High-Output Vibratory Performance

At the heart of the RX1575 trench roller is a sealed exciter system that produces up to 16,860 lb of centrifugal force on high amplitude or 8,430 lb on low amplitude. Operators can easily adjust vibration settings to match soil type and lift thickness. This flexibility ensures superior compaction in heavy clay while maintaining precision for granular materials. With its fuel-efficient 20-hp diesel engine, the roller delivers over 11 hours of continuous operation, making it a durable soil compactor roller for demanding shifts.

Key Features of the RX1575 Trench Roller

  • Dual Vibration Settings – Adjust for deep clay layers or lighter top lifts.
  • Articulating/Oscillating Drums – Maintain traction and stability on slopes up to 40%.
  • Remote Control Operation – Enhances safety by keeping crews out of the trench.
  • Fuel-Smart Diesel Power – Long runtime with reduced operating costs.
  • Quick-Change Drum Widths – Switch from 24 to 33 inches in minutes.

Safe and Efficient Remote Control

Safety is built into every RX1575 trench roller. Its wireless infrared remote works up to 66 feet away and shuts down automatically if the signal is lost or if the operator enters the safety zone. This design removes the cave-in hazards common with manual tampers and traditional walk behind compactors, while the solar-powered charging system keeps the remote ready for long days in the field.

Rugged Design for Jobsite Demands

With heavy-duty padfoot drums, dual scrapers, and a robust joint system, this trench compactor maintains drum contact across uneven surfaces. Built-in oscillation ensures uniform density, while easy-to-access service points keep downtime to a minimum. Quick-flip hoods and lifetime-lubricated bearings further reduce maintenance, proving that this soil compactor roller was engineered for long-term reliability.

Applications That Deliver Results

The RX1575 trench roller excels across a wide range of applications:

  • Pipeline and Utility Trenches – Consolidates soil around pipe haunches efficiently.
  • Structural Backfill – Ensures stable foundations for slabs and retaining walls.
  • Road Widening and Repair – Prepares sub-base quickly before paving crews arrive.

Why Choose the RX1575?

Contractors select the RX1575 trench roller because it combines safety, productivity, and cost-efficiency in one compact package. As a reliable trench compactor, it delivers consistent density in tough soil while keeping crews out of hazardous spaces. Whether deployed as a versatile walk behind compactor alternative or a heavy-duty soil compactor roller, this machine proves its value on every project.
