Why Choose the RC70?
High Compaction Force

The RC70 is designed for serious production compaction. Depending on configuration and vibration setting, centrifugal force reaches up to 160 kN, giving contractors substantial compaction capability on demanding ground conditions.

Kubota 74 HP Engine

The 55.4 kW / 74.3 hp Kubota engine provides the power needed for civil construction, roadbuilding and earthmoving applications while maintaining a relatively compact machine footprint.

1.68-Metre Drum

With a 1,680 mm drum width, the RC70 provides a good balance between productivity and manoeuvrability, allowing contractors to cover substantial ground with each pass.

Strong Gradeability

The RC70 can achieve gradeability of up to 55%, depending on configuration, making it well suited to jobs involving slopes, embankments and challenging terrain.

Two Vibration Frequencies

The RC70 offers 30 Hz and 42 Hz vibration frequencies, together with approximately 1.71 mm and 0.66 mm amplitudes, allowing the machine to be configured for different compaction requirements.
