Bobcat light compaction machines represent relatively low-cost equipment purchases but are essential tools on a wide range of jobsites.

The Bobcat TR75 Trench Roller

With its powerful diesel engine and two amplitude settings, the TR75 trench roller delivers high-compaction performance on a variety of soil types and in many applications. Operated by remote control, the TR75 features an oscillating articulated joint that increases stability and ground contact. Stay out of the trenches and outsmart operator fatigue with the versatile, remote-controlled TR75 trench roller.

Bobcat Reversible Plate Compactors (models RP22.40, RP30.50 and RP49.20D)

Bobcat reversible plate compactors are ideal for compacting granular materials such as sand, gravel and asphalt. Equipped with hydraulic direction control, these walk-behind machines deliver quick direction changes and minimum-effort compaction in tight spaces. The RP22.40 and RP30.50 feature durable and efficient Honda engines. Our largest reversible plate compactor, the RP49.20D, features a rugged, Tier 4 diesel engine with electric start. 

Bobcat Forward Plate Compactors (models FP10.33, FP15.40 and FP15.50)

Bobcat forward plates deliver industry-leading forward movement for great compaction results and less operator fatigue. These walk-behind machines feature durable Honda engines for reliable starts, maximum power and low fuel consumption. Reduce dust or keep the vibratory plate clear of asphalt buildup with the water tank and sprinkler system.

Bobcat Rammers (models R60P and R68P)

These hand-held machines are easy to use and built to last, delivering precise compaction in trenches and other confined work areas where other compaction equipment can’t reach. Featuring a forward design and best-in-class balance, Bobcat rammers direct all the compaction power squarely onto the targeted surface area. With a wide range of available foot sizes, their versatility is limitless.
