What the specifications mean
The outer drum extensions support two working widths, but the overall width here describes the extended configuration. Check the available trench space and the selected drum arrangement together.
The remote-control system is part of the working setup. Plan line of sight and the operator’s position; a narrow machine does not remove the need for a suitable trench work plan.

A brochure configuration is not an individual marketplace machine. Serial/PIN and build information are required for exact verification.
Used RTLx-SC3 inspection priorities
- Verify the transmitter, receiving eyes, proximity functions and emergency controls using the manufacturer procedure before evaluating production.
- Inspect extension mounting hardware, padfoot wear and the articulation joint, and ask about tip-over events and subsequent inspections.
Configuration-aware inspection: these checks are triggered by machine category, installed configuration and technology package. Brochure-listed technology must be physically present, active, licensed and calibrated on the used machine.
Hours, condition and ownership cost
Hours are context, not a condition grade. Duty cycle, idle time, maintenance evidence, wear-system measurements, structural repairs and installed technology should be evaluated together.
Cost drivers to model
- Include remote-control components and drum-extension hardware in the purchase inventory; missing items can prevent the intended setup from being used.
- Distinguish the NAM Standard from Compatec and older engine versions when ordering support parts or comparing used examples.
Configuration
Equipment and configuration
Match the installed equipment to the serial-specific build record and the measurement basis shown above.
Configuration details to confirm
- Smooth or padfoot surface
- Shell kit
- Vibration system
- Remote control
