• Three Bobcat reversible plate compactors (models RP22.40, RP30.50 and RP49.20D) are ideal for compacting granular material such as sand, gravel and asphalt. These walk-behind machines are as nimble as they are durable. These machines enable operators to experience quick directional changes with minimal effort in tight spaces.
• The Bobcat TR75 trench roller, operated by remote control, delivers high-compaction performance on a variety of soil types. The TR75 trench roller can take on a variety of jobsites with its oscillating articulated joint that allows the trench roller’s drums to maintain contact on uneven ground.
