Hamm’s new soil compactors offer fuel efficiency without compromising power

Known heavy-duty earthmoving equipment, Hamm presents entirely new compactors with enhanced fuel consumption without compromising rolling power. Available with operating weights between 11 and 13 metric tons (25,832-29,745 lbs.), the new models can be supplied with a smooth drum or a padfoot drum. Both models meet the EU Stage V and EPA Tier 4f exhaust emission standards and are initially being launched in North America, with other markets to follow.

Excellent compaction power from lower diesel consumption

The new compactors feature a drum width of 2,140 mm (84.3 inches) and deliver high centrifugal forces and linear loads. ECO mode helps users reduce diesel consumption without compromising on compaction power. With this mode engaged, the frequency and compaction forces remain consistently high even at a reduced engine speed, which not only saves fuel but also cuts CO2 emissions. The machines achieve gradeability with the tried-and-tested 3-point articulation that allows a high level of manoeuvrability, stability against overturning, and ample traction. The new compactors are driven by a John Deere engine delivering 85 kW of power.

Options, ergonomic design, and easy maintenance

The new models are available with various options, including compaction measurement using the Hamm Compaction Meter, a process data interface, padfoot shells, a powerful lighting package, and the automatic vibration system. The working environment of the new compactors is characterized by ergonomic design and offers numerous equipment options. Examples include the ROPS cabin with heating and air conditioning functions, a tilting steering column, or different types of seats to best meet the varying needs of operators. The easily accessible maintenance points make servicing the machines simple, which keeps downtimes brief and ensures smooth operation.
