The new generation of rubber-wheeled rollers?

Compact, powerful and uncompromising: the innovative GRW 280 by Hamm with an operating weight of up to 28 t convinces with its harmonious overall concept. A fresh design and numerous ingenious details ease the work for machine operators, and ensure optimum compaction results.

Forty years ago, Hamm created a milestone in road construction with the first all-wheel drive, all-wheel steering rubber wheeled roller. Now, the roller manufacturer is again presenting a sensation in this sector to the trade.

The market at the end of 2008 was full of enthusiasm for the new Hamm “HD+” range of tandem rollers with 12 tonne or more.
