Roller manufacturer Hamm has introduced its latest compact tandem rollers – the HD 10–HD 12 G-Tier models. Weighing between 2.5 and 2.7 metric tonnes, the HD 10 G VV and HD 12 G VV variants are currently available in France, with other markets set to follow.
Both models meet EU Stage V exhaust emission standards, making them suitable for road and pathway construction as well as gardening and landscaping. These compact machines are particularly effective on tight, inner-city construction sites, where space is at a premium.
Compact, clear, and agile
The new tandem rollers in the HD CompactLine range stand out due to their compact design, user-friendly handling, and strong compaction performance. Thanks to their 3-point articulation, they offer excellent maneuverability, consistent weight distribution across both axles, and improved safety. This design ensures stable driving, high resistance to overturning while cornering, and smooth asphalt surfaces without undulations. Additionally, the large drum diameter contributes to high-quality compaction by helping to prevent uneven material distribution.
Perfectly equipped for rental
Designed with the rental market in mind, both models boast intuitive controls, making them easy to operate even for less experienced drivers. The ergonomically optimized cab offers excellent visibility, and the adjustable driver's seat can be tailored to any operator’s size and weight. Maintenance is also simple, with all service points easily accessible, especially around the 18.2 kW Yanmar engine. As with the rest of the HD CompactLine, these machines are easy to transport, thanks to multiple tie-down points and a central suspension point for quick and easy loading. These features make the new rollers a strong fit for the rental industry.
Options for a clearer overview and lower emissions
A range of configuration options is available for these models, including “powerful LED work lighting, an anti-freeze filling system, a back-up alarm and even the option of connecting to the John Deere Operations Center.” There’s also the option to install an “automatic engine-off function to reduce both diesel consumption and emissions.”
