HC 160i Compactor with smooth drum

3-point articulation is different to conventional joints due to its geometric arrangement and connection of the three individual joints and one additional connecting link between the two conventional upper joints. This allows optimum steering, excellent driving safety and maximum driving comfort.

In the Smart Compaction product range, HAMM offers various solutions for intelligent and simple compaction, compaction measurement and documentation. The focus here is on digital interfaces between the driver and the machine as well as various assistants. The innovations offered here (such as Smart Doc) contribute significantly to meeting the increasing demands for high compaction quality in modern earthworks and road construction, and directly integrating the megatrends of digitalisation and resource conservation into daily construction site activity.

HAMMTRONIC is an electronic machine management system that monitors and controls all key machine functions, thereby increasing safety, economy and fuel savings. The opportunities offered by HAMMTRONIC include, for instance, automatic adjustment of the diesel engine speed to meet the power requirements of the individual drives. Moreover, HAMMTRONIC controls start-up and braking, and distributes the drive torques across the drum axis and back wheels in line with current operating data. HAMMTRONIC also controls the hydrostatic vibration drive and the various steering programmes (for DV+ series only), guaranteeing even, smooth movement of both drums.

Simple and intuitive operation is becoming increasingly important for state-of-the-art construction machinery. With Easy Drive, HAMM has, therefore, developed a standardised operating concept for tandem rollers (HD+ and DV+ series), compactors (H series) and pneumatic tyre rollers (HP series) that reduces complexity to a minimum and enables operators to react quickly and correctly in no time at all. Alongside its clear, intuitive, easy to learn operating concept, Easy Drive comprises a range of features that improve ergonomic, safety-related and service-related characteristics.
