New ARS compactors from Ammann optimize compaction through technology

Ammann has introduced the first two models of the new ARS line of single-drum soil compactors that combine tried-and-true features with intelligent compaction technology.

The proprietary ACE^force system is available on the ARS 200 T4f/T3 and the ARS 220 T4f/T3. Benefits of ACE^force technology include gains in quality control, reduced machine wear and cost savings.

ACE^force helps the operator monitor indications of compaction. When goals have been met, the operator can confidently move on to other areas of the jobsite and avoid unnecessary passes and the wasted time and fuel that go with them. The technology can also provide documentation and GPS mapping.

The machines meet U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final and EU Stage 4 emissions standards. EPA Tier 3 and EU Stage 3A engine options are available for customers in less-regulated countries.

The ARS machines feature newly designed cabs that set new standards in operator comfort and visibility. Controls are intuitive and easy to access. The unique multifunctional display integrated into the steering wheel helps operators of all skill levels fully utilize all machine functions. The intelligent propulsion system provides industry-leading gradeability and fuel economy.

The positioning of the engine enables access to all four sides. Main maintenance and service points are accessible at ground level.

The ARS compactors also incorporate popular existing features including a no-rear-axle concept with fully hydrostatic drive to help the machines power through loose underfoot conditions and cohesive soils and perform on uneven terrain and grades. The optional Ammann Traction Control (ATC) is an intelligent system that controls the torque of the wheel and prevents slipping.

The powerful Ammann dual vibratory and amplitude systems are key tools in providing industry-leading compaction output.

The Ammann single-drum roller lineup features weights ranging from 3 to 25 tonnes to help contractors find the right machine for their needs.
