Dynapac CEA has released the Rhino range of Dynapac soil compactors to Australia, building on the already established range, offering customers more ergonomic cabs and features designed to increase uptime.
Dynapac CEA has proudly unveiled the highly anticipated Rhino range of Dynapac soil compactors – added to the existing range CA25D/PD, CA30 D/PD, CA35D/PD, the new CA50D/PD, CA55D/PD, CA65D/PD and CA70D/PD.
Powered by a Cummins six-cylinder engine, the Rhino range delivers up to 24 per cent more power.
Each model strikes a balance between power and precision, with weights ranging from 10, through to 22 tonnes.
Kerry McCauley, Dynapac CEA Brand Leader, says this makes the range the ideal solution for large-scale infrastructure projects where exceptional compaction performance is critical.
“The compact dimensions and turning radius of 3.5 metres makes manoeuvring easy, even in the most difficult conditions,” she says.
“The new range offers best-in class performance parameters. Dynapac also offers a standardised Traction Control System with four manual gears, providing the traction performance you need to get the job done.”
The Rhino range has been designed with all service points accessible at the ground level, making maintenance quick and easy.
McCauley says Dynapac underwent a great deal of work to focus on operator engagement with the machine.
“Ensuring it is powerful enough to do the job, with features that will allow operators to work in a wide variety of conditions, is just a small component of the work being done by the engineering team on this new line-up,” she says.
“The large focus on operator comfort, safety and ease of use also makes it a standout among current competitive machines.”
Comfort and safety
In addition to its robust mechanical features, McCauley says the Rhino soil compactors set a new standard for operator comfort and safety.
“The ergonomically redesigned operator cabin boasts 35 per cent more glass area, improving visibility and facilitating safer operations in challenging environments,” she says.
The 60-degree seat rotation and powerful LED lighting ensures the compactors excel in low-light conditions, making them suitable for all projects, day and night.
“Operators’ comfortability was front of mind for the Dynapac team when crafting the range, equipped with an upgraded colour display and more,” says McCauley.
“These features make it easier for operators to read detail at a glance.”

Tailored for Australia
The Rhino range was unveiled during an event at the organisation’s Jet Park headquarters in Johannesburg, South Africa in October 2024.
The Rhino CA50, CA55, CA65, and CA70 soil compactors were originally engineered specially for diverse soil types across Africa.
McCauley says these machines, specifically the CA50D, have also been designed to meet broader market needs around the world.
“The CA50D suits the Australian market and its requirement for machines which are easy to use,” she says.
“It has a simplified operation, with an intuitive machine interface that operators can quickly get up to speed with, when operating the machine, making it ideal for the rental segment.”
These models feature three engine emissions standards, including Stage Four engines, enabling owners to get ahead on Australia’s environmental regulations.
With a focus on fuel efficiency, McCauley says these compactors are perfect for contractors, and rental business looking to minimise fuel costs and reduce their carbon footprint without compromising on performance.
“The Rhino range will ensure customers can safely and efficiently operate all equipment across a diverse range of different sites across Australia,” she says.
“The safety features ensure that no matter the conditions, performance will remain at an optimal level.”
The Dynapac CEA team is excited to release a new era of technology to the Australian market while paying homage to its predecessors.
McCauley says the Rhino range symbolises Dynapac’s ongoing commitment to developing world-class solutions that cater to the specific needs of its customers world-wide.
“The new lineup highlights Dynapac’s focus on customer needs, understanding where the market segments are headed and what customers are looking for in their machines for the future,” she says.
“As suppliers to the market for 90 years, Dynapac has a reputation for a quality build and aligning the product to the industry.”
McCauley says the new range of Rhinos will set the standard for compaction in the Australian market moving forward.
“We look forward to showcasing these new machines to customers as they arrive in the country over the coming months,” she says.
