Tusko Gasoline Reversible Plate Compactor, Honda 13HP - RC330

RC330 Gasoline Plate Compactor

The Tusko RC330 Reversible Plate Compactor is a premier, industrial-grade commercial machine specifically engineered for high-density soil stabilization, foundational backfilling, and major road construction projects. Driven by a top-tier 13HP Honda GX390 4-Stroke, OHV, air-cooled gasoline engine, this power plant supplies the unrelenting torque necessary to handle continuous, aggressive operation on punishing professional jobsites. Designed to maximize productivity across extensive surface areas, the RC330 features an expansive 830 x 640 mm steel plate that utilizes a focused vibration working method. By delivering a massive 38 kN of compaction force coupled with a rapid 4810 VPM vibratory frequency, the machine swiftly crushes air pockets to lock down coarse base layers, achieving a true, high-density 400 mm compacting depth.

Engineered for exceptional handling inside tight civil work trenches or alongside retaining walls, the RC330 features fully reversible dual-direction maneuverability. Operators can seamlessly navigate the worksite while maintaining a steady 15 m/min forward and reverse travel speed. Total control is achieved via a precise remote throttle lever, featuring a cast metal throttle arm positioned directly at hand level on the upright console for easy engine RPM modifications. Built to survive harsh field environments, its mechanical layout is completely shielded by a thick structural steel roll frame. Furthermore, a durable cast belt cover guards the drive clutch from abrasive materials, while an extra-large 6.1-liter fuel tank dramatically reduces downtime by supporting extended running shifts between refuels.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Powerful Engine: Driven by a 13HP Honda GX390 Gasoline engine that delivers dependable commercial-grade torque running steadily at 3600 RPM.

• High Impact Force: Delivers a massive 38 kN of compaction force to effectively lock down coarse base layers and dense aggregate soils across demanding construction sites.

• Deep Soil Penetration: Provides an optimal 40 cm (400 mm) compacting depth, allowing operators to systematically compress thick layers of subgrade material in significantly fewer passes.

• Rapid Soil Consolidation: Operates at a high vibratory frequency of 4810 VPM (times per minute) to quickly eliminate internal air pockets and stabilize the soil structure.

• Vibratory Working Method: Relies on a focused, high-frequency vibratory mechanical system to fluidly shift, align, and tightly pack down various granular materials.

• Durable Steel Plate: Features a large 83x64 cm (830 x 640 mm) curved steel plate designed to allow smooth traversal over granular materials without digging into edges or getting trapped in soft dirt.

• Dual-Direction Maneuverability: Engineered with fully reversible operation maintaining a steady 15 m/min forward and reverse travel speed, making it ideal for effortless handling inside tight trenches or along foundation walls.

• Heavy-Duty Protective Cage: A thick steel tubular wrap-around roll cage completely shields the core motor block, recoil starter, and fuel tank from overhead impacts or structural debris on site.

• Cast Belt Cover Guard: Utilizes a durable protective shielding block that completely encloses the drive clutch and belt assembly, proactively keeping abrasive sand, dust, and aggregate chunks from destroying the drive line.

• Central Integrated Lifting Hook: The top bar of the steel frame curves inward directly over the center of gravity, offering a designated high-strength anchor point for simple mechanical hoisting and balanced crane transport.

• Extended Run Times: Equipped with an approximate 6.1-liter gasoline fuel tank designed specifically to support longer continuous compaction operations on the job site without frequent refueling interruptions.

Applications:

• Soil Compaction: Achieve optimal soil compaction for foundations and road construction. With its forward and reverse working direction, the RC330 ensures thorough consolidation to create a highly stable base.

• Asphalt Compaction: Perfect for compacting asphalt layers on roads, driveways, and parking lots. The RC330's 9HP power and 38 kN centrifugal force efficiently compress asphalt surfaces, ensuring long-term durability.

• Trench Compaction: Compact trenches for utilities, pipelines, and cable installations with exact precision. The RC160's adaptable size and dual-direction maneuverability make it ideal for tight spaces, ensuring solid underground structures.

• Backfill Compaction: Ensure proper compaction of backfilled areas around foundations and retaining walls. The reversible working direction enables precise compaction control, actively reducing the risk of ground settlement.
