All the hydraulic hoses have been shortened and are now routed above the articulated joint and through the manifold support drums to avoid wear and improve the serviceability of the hoses.
Visually, the RTLx-SC3 sports a new honey-comb grill and new Wacker Neuson branding with the large gray/red WN, which is more visible on the job site. It is powered by a 19.8 horsepower Kohler diesel engine and produces a high and low compaction force (15,400/7,700 lbf) to provide flexibility depending on the application.
The drums can be converted from 32 to 22 inches to fit the application/trench. Low center of gravity improves machine stability and the articulated joint increases maneuverability and allows the roller to make tight turns in confined spaces.
The RTLx-SC3 (Smart Control 3) is operated with a line-of-sight infrared remote control that was designed with operator and job site safety in mind. With the RTLx-SC3, the operator remains out of the trench, away from dust and noise of the machine, but must keep a line-of-sight from the controller to the receiving eye at all times. This innovative control technology eliminates dangerous blind spots should the unit move behind obstacles and other obstructions, or should the operator get distracted, keeping the job site and workers better protected. The machine will stop moving and vibrating if the operator comes within three feet of the roller’s sending eyes or releases the controller’s joysticks, making sure the operator is always a safe distance from the machine.
Wacker Neuson’s RTLx-SC3 trench roller is backed by an industry-leading 5-year bumper-to-bumper transferable warranty.
