BASIC Model 700 Pneumatic 7-Wheel Roller

The BASIC Model 700 pneumatic 7-wheel roller offers greater compaction than a conventional 9-wheel machine in its weight class because the same amount of weight is dispersed between fewer tires. The operator is centered in the machine allowing for greater visibility on either side of the machine.

This machine can be used to prep base, asphalt or even chip seal. All wheels oscillate independently for 100% surface contact at all times. The Model 700 is excellent for small jobsites and can easily be towed behind a half-ton pick-up when ballasts are empty.

BOMAG BC462EB

BOMAG BC462EB The BOMAG BC462EB soil compactor features hydrostatic drive and sealed frame design.

“For this concept, we’ve taken innovations from our single drum rollers and meshed them with proven design features from our refuse compactors,” said Dave Dennison, product manager at BOMAG Americas. “The BC462EB is very well-suited to push, spread and compact soil for site development, road, bridge and dam projects.”

Providing outstanding power, gradeability and traction, this new model features a 255-hp water-cooled diesel engine. At 51,000 pounds, superior compaction is achieved through a combination of weight, wheel and scraper design, and impact force of the teeth.

Case SV Compactors

The SV Series of vibratory rollers from Case Construction Equipment includes four models that provide reliability, durability, serviceability and ease of operation.

Hydrostatic drive synchronizes the rear wheels and drum, resulting in outstanding traction and smooth performance even on steep slopes.

SV208, SV210, SV212 and SV216 models have operating weights of 15,741 to 31,479 pounds. The SV208 and SV210 models feature 99-hp diesel engines and drum widths of 66 inches. The SV212 and SV216 models feature 148-hp engines and drum widths of 87 inches.

Cat 825H Soil Compactor

The Cat 825H soil compactor is designed to meet Tier III emissions regulations while providing high productivity, long life and low operating costs. The H-Series model incorporates the Cat C15 engine, a durable NGMR radiator, high-efficiency hydraulics, durable structures, ease of operation and a comfortable work environment. Smooth, consistent shifting with fingertip control and electronic controls contribute to high productivity.

The 825H weighs more than 72,000 pounds, and the engine produces 354 net horsepower. Tamping wheel tip design and modified chevron pattern offer greater traction, penetration and compaction for high production.

SAKAI SV610-III Series Soil Rollers

Sakai America has introduced its 12-ton class soil rollers, the SV610-III Series, to help site prep, roadbuilding and earthmoving contractors compact more material faster.

The SV610-III Series comes in three model variations: the SV610D-III, a 27,555-pound smooth drum model designed for rock and granular materials; the SV610T-III, a 27,710-pound padfoot roller for cohesive materials, silts and clays; and the SV610TF-III, 32,560-pound model that includes a padfoot/smooth drum combination. The padfoot drum in the SV610TF-III is encased within a bolt-on smooth drum shell that can be removed when working on cohesive soils. This series comes with an 84-inch drum width and is designed for high yardage compaction jobs on a wide range of soils and rockfill applications, including highway and airport subbases, embankments, dams, reservoirs and large commercial tracts.

The SV610-III Series compactors are powered by a fuel-efficient Tier III Cummins QSB4.5, a 148-hp water-cooled, turbocharged diesel engine. All models come standard with dual amplitude. The SV610TF-III offers amplitudes up to 0.06" while the SV610D-III and SV610T-III offer amplitudes up to 0.09". All three models also offer high centrifugal forces up to 58,450 pounds.

Volvo SD105DX and SD105F Soil Compactors

The Volvo SD105DX smooth drum soil compactor has an 84-inch vibratory drum and is designed with many innovative features that provide excellent drum performance, serviceability, reliability, operator comfort and safety. Variable frequency settings permit the operator to adapt vibration to the particular material being compacted. High engine power-to-weight ratio and high dynamic force combine to achieve maximum material density in a minimum of passes.

Heavy-duty axle with No-Spin differential, low centre of gravity and optional hydrostatic Ultra-Grade traction system with wheel and drum drive all combine for steep climbing without interruption in traction power.

The Volvo SD105F padfoot model is also available.

Wacker Neuson BS 50-2i Rammers

Wacker Neuson Corporation offers a full line of vibratory rammers including the industry exclusive, EPA-certified 2-cycle, oil-injected rammer. Three models are available: The 131-pound, BS 50-2i, the 145-pound BS 60-2i and the 164-pound BS 70-2i all offer reduced hand-arm vibration, integrated fuel valve and throttle lever for simple operation, easy starting and optimized weight balance which lowers the center of gravity for easy operation.

Only Wacker Neuson’s two-cycle rammers with the advanced oil injection system offer these innovative advantages plus the performance of two-cycle technology: 65 hours run time on a tank of oil; lean 120:1 fuel/oil ratio – eliminates smoke; low engine oil shutoff; no spark plug fouling and carbon buildup; lower emissions; fast engine warm up; long shoe stroke; more blows per minute; faster travel, more productive; lighter weight, more maneuverable; lower center of gravity; no mechanical governor; no used oil to dispose into the environment. Wacker Neuson rammers are ideal for the compaction of cohesive soils in confined areas. They are backed by a two-year warranty.
