Economy, efficiency, and versatility in one: HC 100i–HC 130i G-Tier compactors

Roller manufacturer Hamm presents new models for compaction in earthworks. The new models are available now with operating weights between 11 and 13 metric tons (25,832–29,745 lbs.) and can be supplied with a smooth drum or a padfoot drum. They 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 with a drum width of 2,140 mm (84.3 in) deliver high centrifugal forces and linear loads. ECO mode allows users to drastically reduce their 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 excellent gradeability and impress 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 85 kW of power.

Options, ergonomic design, easy maintenance

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 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.
