With an adjustable drop height of 50 to 1200 mm and an impact frequency of 40 to 100 blows per minute, the machine can be precisely adjusted to suit a wide range of soil conditions. The result is rapid, controlled compaction of shallow, granular soils.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Large compaction surface<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a compaction foot of 1,600, 2,000 or even 2,400 mm, the VDH-RDC 17 offers a large compaction surface. This makes the machine ideal for projects where large areas need to be compacted efficiently and evenly. This makes the machine ideally suited for large infrastructure projects and urban construction sites with high performance requirements.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Robust and durable design<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The VDH-RDC 17 is designed for maximum reliability and durability. With a total weight of 25,000 kg and high-quality components, the machine can withstand the toughest working conditions. The machine requires relatively little maintenance and is designed for long-term use with low operating costs.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default
