Rainhart Soil Compactor Safety Enclosure

The soil compactor safety enclosure surrounds a compatible mechanical soil compactor to provide a physical barrier around moving components during laboratory operation. Its open-top design accommodates the optional analyzer accessory, while separate upper and lower doors maintain access for routine work. The enclosure can be assembled around equipment already in service, making it a practical upgrade for laboratories seeking to improve operator separation without replacing their compactor. The layout balances protective coverage with convenient mold changes and maintenance access.

Key Features

• Provides a protective enclosure for compatible mechanical soil compaction equipment used in ASTM D698, ASTM D1557, AASHTO T 99 and AASHTO T 180 workflows, subject to equipment compatibility.
• The large upper access door helps technicians perform maintenance without dismantling the surrounding structure.
• A dedicated lower access door makes mold changes and routine tasks more convenient during busy testing schedules.
• The open top allows the optional compactor analyzer accessory to be used without redesigning the enclosure.
• The enclosure can be assembled around an existing compactor, reducing disruption to established laboratory workflows.

Lab Manager's Tip

Confirm the compactor model, installation footprint and safe access clearances before assembly. For ASTM D698/D1557 or AASHTO T 99/T 180, maintain the specified mold, rammer, drop height and blow pattern; the enclosure is a safety accessory and does not independently establish method compliance.

Typical Applications

Soil compaction laboratories, geotechnical testing, Proctor testing and mechanical compactor safety improvements.
