The SDLG RS7260H is a soil compactor — a heavy single-drum vibratory roller that compresses soil and road-base material in engineered lifts until each reaches the density the design specifies — in the 26-tonne class at the very top of SDLG's Kenyan line. It exists for the programmes where even the 22-tonne class reaches its economical limit: major dam embankments, highway subgrade at scale and deep-lift industrial platforms. Sold by Trust Partners Geo-Group Ltd and quoted in writing within 24 hours per the October 2026 price list terms, it carries the same family price anchor as the rest of the heavy series and the same editorial rule that defines this one: no lift-depth claims without official data, because lift capability is engineered and tested — never a badge figure.

Deep-Lift Compaction, Honestly Described
Deep-lift compaction is a method, not a machine feature, and describing it honestly matters at this scale. The design sets lift thickness and target density for the material being placed; moisture is conditioned into the specified range; the compactor works systematic passes at the amplitude matched to the lift; and field-density testing proves each lift before the next is placed. A heavier machine changes the economics of that method — fewer passes per lift, thicker design lifts within the tested envelope — but it does not replace any step of it. This guide makes no lift-depth promises because none can be made honestly without the project's test data: what the RS7260H contributes is compactive energy, and what the project contributes is the design and the proof. Our earthworks QA and compaction testing guide and proctor and field-density testing guide cover the method; the dam-programme costs sit in our dam and water pan earthworks cost guide and the embankment engineering in our earth dam design and construction guide.
Applications: Where the RS7260H Earns Its Keep
1. Major dam and water-pan programmes
Zoned embankments, core zones and structural lifts at the top of the compaction ladder; the engineering context is in our earth dam design guide, and the backfill discipline in our backfill compaction guide.
2. Highway subgrade at scale
Heavy graded layers on trunk programmes where both the density targets and the shift capacity demand the top class; the quality regime is in our subgrade preparation and quality-control guide.
3. Deep-lift industrial platforms
Heavy industrial pads, terminals and structure platforms compacted in deep engineered lifts at scale.
The Step-Up Test and the Fleet Around It
The decision against the 22-tonne class is the three-signal test used across this series: lift designs the lighter class reaches only with uneconomic pass counts; shift-capacity limits on major programmes; and engineered requirements demanding more energy per pass. The published RS7220H, RS7160H and RS7140H guides cover the classes below. Drum choice follows the lift design — smooth for granular, padfoot for cohesive — made with the engineer at the design stage using the datasheet figures; our vibratory versus static guide explains the selection logic. Ownership carries the dealer's published package: genuine parts from Ruai yard stock, factory-trained technicians, the 24-hour response commitment and extendable warranty per the October 2026 list, with delivery by low-loader and commissioning at handover. Hire-fleet economics sit in our hire cost framework and current hire pricing. The wider line-up sits on the SDLG compaction roller hub, within the full SDLG range — excavators, wheel loaders, graders and the backhoe and compact range — with evidence-based brand comparisons for buyers weighing competitors first.
Delivery and Commissioning at the Top of the Line
A 26-tonne class machine arrives by low-loader under a delivery plan that is part of the purchase: route and permit checks verified per trip, offloading on engineered firm ground with the rated lifting points, and commissioning that includes the operator walk-through on amplitude selection, scraper settings and the daily checklist — scheduled against the works calendar so the machine's first lift lands on tested material with the crew briefed. At this scale the dealer's commissioning visit also verifies the site-held spares list against the machine as delivered, closing the loop between the datasheet, the paperwork and the iron before production starts.
Who Should Buy Something Else
Programmes inside the 22-tonne class's reach should price the RS7220H first — the three-signal test exists to stop buyers over-speccing the heaviest machine on the ladder. Buyers without an engineered lift design or a testing budget should fix the method before buying the machine: at this scale the iron serves the method, and a method that does not exist cannot be served. And buyers whose work is asphalt surfacing need tandem rollers, not this machine.

Frequently Asked Questions
What class is the SDLG RS7260H?
The RS7260H is a single-drum soil compactor in the 26-tonne class — the top of SDLG's Kenyan compaction line, above the 22-tonne RS7220H class. It is built for the heaviest lift programmes: major dam embankments, highway subgrade at scale and deep-lift industrial platforms. The published class guides below cover the rest of the ladder.
What does the RS7260H cost in Kenya?
The RS7260H is not itemized on the October 2026 price list, but its family anchor is: the RS8220H 22-tonne single-drum is listed at KSh 13,000,000, inclusive as indicated, at the top of the list's compactor band (KSh 4,500,000–13,000,000). The RS7260H is quoted in writing within 24 hours of inquiry with the exact figure, drum configuration and any padfoot fitment itemized; indicative only, not a firm offer.
Are the RS7260H's specifications and deep-lift claims verified?
No public source conflict is identified for this model, and no official datasheet figures have been released to this guide: operating weight, engine output, amplitude, centrifugal force, drum dimensions and drive configuration are confirmed from the official configuration-specific datasheet and stated on your written quotation, dated. On deep-lift capability specifically, this guide makes no lift-depth claims: lift capability is an engineered, tested outcome — the design sets the lift, the test proves it — not a badge figure. The datasheet's amplitude and force figures are the inputs your engineer works from.
How is deep-lift compaction actually built?
In engineered lifts, exactly like every other compaction: the design sets lift thickness and target density for the material; moisture is conditioned into range; the compactor makes systematic passes; and field-density testing proves each lift before the next is placed. At deep-lift scale the discipline matters more, not less: failed lifts on a major embankment are removed and rebuilt, and the cost of one failure exceeds a season of testing. Our compaction-testing guides cover the method.
When should I step up from the 22-tonne class?
Three signals: lift designs the 22-tonne class reaches only with uneconomic pass counts; shift-capacity limits on major dam or highway programmes; and engineered requirements that demand more energy per pass. The published RS7220H and RS7160H guides cover the classes below; two of three signals true means pricing the step-up against the programme's cubic metres.
Does the RS7260H come with a padfoot option?
Padfoot shell fitment for cohesive soils is quoted as a configuration option alongside the smooth drum, as across this family; on a machine of this class the smooth-versus-padfoot decision is made at the lift-design stage with the engineer, using the datasheet's amplitude and force figures. The dealer confirms shell compatibility from the official datasheet before order.
Can I finance an RS7260H in Kenya?
Yes — the October 2026 price list states financing, lease-to-own, trade-in and hire-before-you-buy packages across the range. Approval, rates and terms rest with the lender; a written machine quotation is the first document any lender asks for, and the published asset finance, deposit and tenor guides walk the money side.
Where do I verify specifications before ordering?
Ask the SDLG desk for the official configuration-specific datasheet and the stock-unit nameplate photo. Every quotation records the datasheet revision against the machine — that document, not any web page, is the authority at delivery, and it is the source the lift-design and critical-parts documents should quote.
