Hamm’s latest machines for compaction in earthworks are now available in North America.
The new models feature operating weights between 11 and 13 tonnes and can be supplied with a smooth drum or a padfoot drum.
They meet the EU Stage V and EPA Tier 4 Final exhaust emission standards and are initially being launched in North America, with other markets to follow.
With a drum width of 2.1 metres, the new compactors deliver high centrifugal forces and linear loads. Eco mode allows users to drastically reduce diesel consumption, without compromising on compaction power.
With eco mode engaged, the frequency and compaction forces remain consistently high even at a reduced engine speed, which not only saves fuel but also reduces carbon dioxide emissions.

The compaction machines achieve excellent gradeability with the tried-and-tested 3-point articulation that guarantees the high level of maneuverability, stability against overturning and exceptional traction.
The new compactors are driven by a John Deere engine delivering 114 hp.
Options & ergonomics
Various options are available for the new models, including compaction measurement with the Hamm Compaction Meter, a process data interface, padfoot shells, a powerful lighting package or even the automatic vibration system.
The working environment of the new compactors is characterized by an ergonomic design and offers numerous equipment options. Examples include the ROPS cab with heating and air conditioning functions, a tilting steering column or different types of seats to meet the varying needs of operators.
The easily accessible maintenance points make servicing the machines simple, which keeps downtimes brief and ensures smooth operation.
