2016 BOMAG BMP8500 Trench Compactor – Kubota Diesel, Remote Controlled

This 2016 BOMAG BMP8500 Trench Compactor is a heavy-duty, articulated compaction machine specifically designed for trench work, pipeline construction, foundations, backfilling, roadwork, and confined-area applications. Its compact 33.5-inch working width allows it to operate efficiently in narrow utility spaces while delivering powerful vibration and deep, consistent compaction performance.

Powered by a highly reliable Kubota D1005 diesel engine, the BMP8500 combines durability, exceptional maneuverability, and premium compaction capability. Most importantly, its remote-control operation allows the operator to work from a safe, elevated position, drastically reducing the risks associated with hazardous trenches and difficult terrain.

Why This Machine Stands Out

• Remote-Controlled Operation: Keeps your operators safely out of the trench, improving jobsite safety, visibility, and OSHA compliance.
• Articulated Steering: Provides smooth, precise maneuverability without scuffing or tearing up the soil, unlike skid-steer style trench rollers.
• Reliable Kubota Diesel Power: Equipped with a proven, Tier 4 Final compliant Kubota D1005 engine designed for long life and excellent fuel economy.
• Optimized Trench Width: The 33.5-inch (0.85 m) roller width fits perfectly into standard utility, sewer, and water pipeline trenches.
• Deep Compaction: Delivers high-impact energy with 1.12 mm amplitude and 42 Hz frequency to quickly achieve density requirements on cohesive and granular soils.
