Compact tandem rollers and compactors

Ideal for the machine rental sector

The range now includes fully electric tandem rollers

The versatile CompactLine rollers from Hamm have been a firmly established part of the product range of many rental companies for years. A familiar name on the market, popular among customers, hard-wearing and easy to handle.

Hamm offers more than 40 compact tandem rollers in the HD CompactLine as all-rounders for asphalt and landscape gardening. As of early 2023 the series also incorporates eight fully electric models. Since 2022, the new HC CompactLine series has provided customers operating in earthworks with a choice of five small compactors.

Electric rollers: High demand for rental fleets

The new electric rollers, which were first launched at the 2022 Bauma show, have everything a rental company needs. Currently, rental fleets support many construction companies working on specific projects that require machines that do not release local emissions. Alongside this, the share of electrically driven compact rollers will also continue to grow, partly due to legal requirements and partly due to the commitments made voluntarily by builders and construction companies.

Energy-saving drive concept

The fully electric rollers from Hamm, the HD 10e and HD 12e, can be recognized by the "e" in the model designation. They are available with two vibrating roller drums (VV), with one vibrating roller drum and one oscillation drum (VO) and as a combination roller with vibration (VT) or oscillation (OT). They are entirely electrically driven, and all e-components offer impressively high torque right from the start. The concept ensures the power is always available to deliver peak performance whenever it is needed.

Enough energy to last the whole day

The eight electric rollers have a Li-ion battery with a capacity of 23 kWh, which provides the power needed for the travel, steering and vibration or oscillation drives via a 48-V system. They are charged via a rapid-charge plug (400 V, CEE) or a plug with an earthed adapter (230 V). It takes about 4 hours to charge from 0% to 100% with the rapid-charge plug.

Added benefit: Staff do not require any specialist training or qualifications to operate it.

HD and HC CompactLine:
Huge variety of models and technology

What makes the CompactLine series so special is that it features a wide choice of tandem roller models that represent a real variety in technology. There are vibration rollers, oscillation rollers, combination rollers and pneumatic-tyre rollers with drum widths ranging from 800 to 1400 mm. In the small compactor segment, Hamm offers models with smooth or padfoot drums as well as two-piece padfoot shells. The HC 70i is also available with a VIO drum. It can compact with either vibration or oscillation, which allows it to cover an enormous range of applications. Its sustainable machine concept and the excellent design make them the ideal machines for rental.

Good to know:

Ultra-compact design
The compact rollers of the HD CompactLine are an efficient option for compacting anywhere where space is restricted – such as in inner-city areas.
Simple and safe to operate
The practical design provides a clear view and easy access to the few buttons on the dashboard. The clear, logically arranged and language-neutral symbols prevent operator errors and the luminous buttons help with orientation even in the dark.

Other benefits:

Extremely simple and fast maintenance
The few maintenance points are easily accessible, and all points for daily maintenance are conveniently located on one side of the engine.
Transportation and safety
A central lifting point makes the rollers quick to load for transportation. Numerous tie-down points ensure transportation is safe and secure.
3-point articulation for good handling
The 3-point articulation delivers quality and safety by ensuring high driving stability and even weight distribution on both axles. This keeps compaction homogeneous even in small areas.
High gradeability
Off-road, these small compactors offer impressively high ground clearance and gradeability – they can handle gradients of up to 60%.
Economical engine technology
The 30-plus tandem rollers with combustion engines in the HD CompactLine series operate with fuel-efficient power units from Kubota complying with Tier 3 (UN ECE R96) or EPA Tier 4/ EU Stage V. The compactors in the HC CompactLine meet the requirements of EPA Tier 4/EU Stage V with their 55.4 kW engines. All compact rollers can be operated either with diesel or with HVO fuel. In addition, there is an automatic engine stop for the tandem rollers and compactors. This switches off the engine automatically if the machine is at a standstill for an extended period of time, thereby saving fuel. This reduces the number of operating hours, cuts wear and tear on the power units, and increases the resale value.
