2.4 Intended use
2.4.1 Intended purpose of the Rammax 1575
The Rammax 1575 trench roller is a roller specially designed for trench compacting.
The unlimited side clearance of the roller drums allows compacting in very narrow,
tight trenches right up to the trench walls. The wet, clayey soils found in sewer construction, pipeline construction, road foundations and construction backfilling, etc., are
the areas of application for this modern trench roller. The infrared remote control also
makes it possible to drive underneath trench shoring in trenches. In hazardous construction site applications, it is possible for the operator to control the machine from a
safe distance with no personal risk.
