Wacker Neuson’s remote-controlled compaction equipment is designed to protect the operator and increase safety on the jobsite. The company offers an infrared remote control system for its compaction equipment that requires the operator to maintain a line-of-sight view with the equipment at all times. When the operator is visually alert to the equipment and surroundings it significantly reduces the risk of anyone getting inadvertently injured, the makers says. This line-of-sight control combined with a built-in safety zone that stops the machine if the operator comes within about 6 of the machine makes Wacker Neuson’s Smart Control system an effective jobsite risk management package.

The patented infrared remote control system is available on Wacker Neuson’s RT trench roller and reversible plates. The RT trench rollers feature below-the-axle exciters and more than 15,000 pounds of total dynamic force. The DPU 130 reversible plate is capable of doing the work of a 7-ton roller while retaining the maneuverability of a vibratory plate, the maker says. Wacker Neuson’s SC system eliminates the possibility of equipment moving into dangerous blind spots, which can occur when using radio-controlled units. Radio-control remote systems do not require line-of-sight operation and  the machine will keep moving if the operator is distracted and turns away from the machine, or it the machine moves behind obstructions.

Wacker Neuson’s infrared remote control features a 16-channel transmission that allows for multiple machines to be used on the same jobsite without the threat of interference with one another. The infrared system is not subject to radio interference from other jobsite systems such as cranes, boom pumps and other radio-control equipment. The infrared remote-control box is easy to operate with two joystick levers and is fully enclosed protecting it from moisture and dirt.
