HC series: iF Design Award for the new HAMM compactors

Comfortable operation

Another feature of the HC series is the logically designed operation. At the "Easy Drive" workstation, everything is language-neutral, clearly arranged and intuitively easy to operate. When compared to the predecessor models, the interior has been significantly enlarged. This means that there is a huge amount of freedom of movement in the driver's platform. The comfort seat offers a new rotation and movement concept; the steering column and driver's seat can be adjusted precisely. Furthermore, thanks to the material selection and the shaping, HAMM has significantly reduced the vibrations as well as the noise level in the cab. A comfortable heating and air-conditioning system keep the windows free of fog and contribute to the outstanding visibility. Storage compartments, ventilation and lighting round off the level of comfort offered by well-designed construction machinery.

Future-proof machine management

The award-winning compactors are powerfully motorised with 160 kW and, thanks to new approaches in the Hammtronic machine management achieve an impressive overall performance. As part of this, the integrated ECO mode supports operation in the economical partial-load range and reduces the need for cooling. This saves fuel and reduces the noise and exhaust gas emissions.

Design supports efficiency and sustainability

The design also supports the overall performance of the HC series, thanks to the newly designed front vehicle, for example: Thanks to the large clearance between the drum and the crossbeam, stops for cleaning the drum are a thing of the past, while productivity increases. Furthermore, during the design and when selecting the materials, HAMM also takes into consideration the conservation of resources and recycling at the end of their use. The extremely low-maintenance design fosters a long machine life.

Equipped for the digital construction site

With modern hardware and interfaces, the compactors in the HC series are "digital ready" and are therefore ready for the applications, quality requirements and communication requirements of the construction sites of the future. Among other things, HAMM is using their own "Smart Doc" app in the HC series. It displays all of the key compaction parameters as well as the compaction progress on a mobile device, and logs the data. The modern, professionally designed visualisation immediately shows even inexperienced drivers which areas have been sufficiently compacted and which areas still require compaction. Furthermore, the compactors can communicate, even with digital applications from third parties, via a standardised interface.
