Trench Roller

Compaction - Compactors - Trench

The BOMAG BMP 8500 trench roller is a remote‑controlled, articulated padfoot roller built for high‑density soil compaction in trenches and tight spaces. Its dual vibrating drums and heavy operating weight deliver strong compaction on cohesive soils, while the articulating chassis and narrow width let it work where larger rollers cannot. An infrared or radio remote keeps the operator safely outside the trench, and BOMAG’s ECONOMIZER or IVC systems (model‑dependent) give visual feedback on compaction so you can avoid unnecessary passes and save time. With adjustable drum width (typically 24" standard with extensions to about 33.5"), a reliable diesel engine, and low‑maintenance hydrostatic steering, it’s ideal for contractors and utility crews.
