Ideally suited for railway construction
With over 200 models between 1.4 and 25 t, Hamm offers an extremely diverse range of rollers for virtually every application. The articulated compact rollers of the HD CompactLine are ideally suited to railway construction. This is partly down to their relatively low weight.
"The weight of a roller is a major consideration in railway construction," explains Jürgen Franzen, foreman for the Rhomberg Sersa Rail Group. "Even from around three metric tons upward, you can see clear differences in the tracks the roller leaves behind. However, the actual problem is hard to see with the naked eye – namely, the graining. This means there are certain fracture points in the ballast. However, the ballast stones need to have certain properties to stick together as required. Too much weight would impair this characteristic. Plus, the compact proportions of the HD 10C VV also make it particularly easy to load onto transport vehicles, so it's a great option for transporting around."
