HD+ 90i PH VO-S Tandem roller with vibration and oscillation drum

Three-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.

Simple and intuitive operation is becoming increasingly important for state-of-the-art construction machinery. With Easy Drive, HAMM has, therefore, developed a standardized operating concept for tandem rollers (HD+ and DV+ series), compactors (H series) and pneumatic tire 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.

When negotiating corners and roundabouts and when performing tight steering maneuvers, attempting to perform compaction without twin drums can lead to material being displaced and cracks forming on the surface. A split drum prevents this from occurring as the two halves rotate at different speeds. This minimizes shear stress on the asphalt and avoids surface cracks and material being displaced. With the split oscillation drum, HAMM also offers a technology that combines the advantages of a split drum with those of oscillation. The result: Maximum compaction quality.

HAMMTRONIC is an electronic machine management system that monitors and controls all key machine functions, consequently 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 programs (for DV+ series only), guaranteeing even, smooth movement of both drums.

With the 9 t HD+ 90i PH tandem roller (EPA Tier 4/EU Stage V), HAMM combines a traditional combustion engine with a hydraulic accumulator. While the diesel unit provides the basic load, the hydraulic accumulator is able to cover peak loads, such as start-up or activating vibration/oscillation, by providing an additional 20 kW of power at short notice. After this maximal load has been generated, the hydraulic accumulator is recharged via a pump. In this way, the machine provides full compaction power while simultaneously saving fuel.
