JCB introduces two field-tested vibratory tandem rollers

JCB’s lineup of vibratory tandem rollers has expanded to four machines with the introduction of the CT380 and CT430.

The two new rollers were introduced at Pave-X 2025 and join the compact CT160 and mid-size CT260 vibratory tandem rollers in the manufacturer’s lineup. 

“Our new rollers underscore JCB’s long-term investment in North America,” said James Gill, JCB Product Manager. 

“From our new manufacturing facility going up in San Antonio to the launch of products like the CT380 and CT430, we are laser-focused on meeting the needs of U.S. contractors with machines that are reliable, easy to operate and built to perform.”

The CT380 is designed for jobsites with limited space. The machine is compact in design without compromising on performance. The CT380 is ideal for road construction, asphalt reconstruction, road repairs and patching, as well as parking lots and driveways. 

JCB designed the CT430 for optimal performance with minimal machine damage to deliver smooth operation that enhances on-site productivity.

The CT430 is the ideal roller for compacting tarmac, stone and asphalt; road construction; tarmacking drives and recreation areas; work on sports courts and pitches; and road repairs and patching.

Powered by efficient 48.9-hp, 3-cylinder engines, the CT380 and CT430 are built to handle daily use. 

With an operating weight of 4,100 kg for the CT380 and 4,500 kg for the CT430, the rollers are the largest vibratory tandem rollers offered by JCB. Their operating weights strike a balance between easy transport and heavy-duty performance.

The CT380 and CT430 are equipped with features to tackle the toughest jobs, offering reliable compaction and operator-focused design.

For example, the machines deliver versatile compaction power, with dual-drum widths of 1.3 metres for the CT380 and 1.4 metres on the CT430. This delivers centrifugal forces of up to 6,260-kg and 6,623-kg per drum, ensuring superior compaction. 

Both models feature maximum travel speeds of 10 km per hour, enabling swift, efficient movement across worksites.

With a 34-degree steering angle and a 13-degree oscillation angle, the rollers navigate tight turns and uneven terrain with ease. Both rollers also deliver 40 per cent gradeability. 

Adjustable seats, intuitive controls and exceptional visibility reduce fatigue and enhance operator productivity. 

As well, simplified service points and reduced maintenance intervals keep machines on the job longer.

JCB LiveLink telematics provides advanced tracking and monitoring for added peace of mind.

“Our philosophy is robust simplicity,” Gill said. “These machines are easy to operate, easy to maintain and ready to work whenever you are. That’s what makes the CT380 and CT430 invaluable on American jobsites.”
