The Ingersoll-Rand TC13 is a walk-behind vibratory trench compactor, designed for compacting soil and granular materials primarily in trench and confined areas where larger compactors cannot operate effectively. The TC13 is valued for its reliability, ease of use, and strong compaction performance in utility, pipeline, and landscaping jobs.
Engine and Power
Powered by a Kubota D722 liquid-cooled 3-cylinder diesel engine, the TC13 delivers approximately 18.9 horsepower (14.1 kW). This engine balances compact size, fuel efficiency, and power output, enabling all-day operation with dependable performance.
Compaction and Performance
Features
The TC13 compactor excels in soil compaction for pipeline trenches, footings, landscaping projects, and patching utilities in urban or confined spaces. Its walk-behind design allows access to tight areas where larger machinery is impractical.
Maintenance Recommendations
Routine upkeep includes checking hydraulic oil levels, cleaning air filters, inspecting vibratory drum and mounts, and ensuring diesel fuel cleanliness. Following manufacturer service intervals ensures long-term machine availability and reduces breakdown risks.
Glossary
The Ingersoll-Rand TC13 stands as a reliable, efficient compact trench compactor blending powerful engine performance with convenient walk-behind design for effective soil compaction in restricted operating environments. Its durability, operator controls, and maintenance ease make it a preferred choice in utility and landscape construction projects.
