Hamm’s new generation of pneumatic tyred asphalt compactors offer performance gains

Hamm is introducing its HP series of rubber tyre rollers, which are now based on a common platform. This new generation of compactors is said to combine both proven and new features, with the Tier 3, Tier 4 and Stage V compliant models all sharing the same basic structure. The machines feature an asymmetrical frame design that is said to allow high compaction performance along with good all-round visibility.

One important feature is the large water reservoir, with a special quick filling system that allows water to be loaded in just two minutes. The improved ballast system allows weight to be changed speedily using a forklift truck, while the large water tank can also be used for ballast. Another important feature is the new additive tank and mixing system, with mixing now being carried out just before spraying to prevent separation.

Operating weights can vary from 8-28tonnes and the machines are available with various options, including a tyre inflation system, the edge pressing and cutting equipment and the new anti-slip system to maximise traction.

Other features include the firm’s proven Easy Drive system, which is said to make the machines easier to operate, as well as Hamm’s braking system and the ergonomic operator station.
