Rototilt is broadening its compactor product line and launching a new model C34 for excavators with machine weights between 6.6 and 13.2 ton (6 to 12 t).
The C34 compactor has a vibration force of 7,495 lb. (3,400 kg) and can handle high back-pressures on the return line, a characteristic that makes it suitable for use with Rototilt's R2 and R3 tiltrotators, according to the manufacturer. Rototilt now offers four compactor models covering excavators from 3.3 to 33 ton (3 to 30 t) capacity.
"Machine-mounted compactors have many benefits," said Sven-Roger Ekström, product manager at Rototilt. "One is that they facilitate compacting in hard-to-reach places such as pipe trenches, slopes and embankments. Another benefit is that they increase safety because people no longer need to be in potentially hazardous work areas."
Rototilt's tiltrotator system has it all — from control systems and tiltrotators to tools and accessories. This ensures full functionality in all operations, according to the manufacturer.
