Hamm is now offering models for countries with exhaust emission standard EU Stage V/EPA Tier 4f, which have been designed specifically to crush and compact rock and stone. The new models are available in countries with Tier 3 exhaust emission standard from the autumn of 2024. The benefits to construction companies are plain to see: Processes on the construction site can be streamlined by deploying VC compactors, because these reduce the work and expense needed for material preparation and transport. For customers, this means time, cost and CO₂ emissions are cut by up to 50% – depending on the application.…>
Ammann’s new light tandem roller is petrol-powered and features side-free drums that enable compaction in the tightest job sites. The Ammann ARX 10.1 StV utilises the Honda GX630 (15,5 kW / 21HP) petrol engine, which reduces ownership costs on a daily basis. It meets the latest EU Stage V/U.S. EPA Phase III emission regulations. The engine is more compact than its diesel counterpart. The smaller size enables positioning that allows cooling from all sides, helping the machine to perform in hot ambient temperatures. Beyond size, the use of petrol brings several other advantages: Petrol is generally less expensive, so there…>

The new Ammann ARW 65-S Walk-Behind Roller features a steering innovation that enables the machine to move forward, backward, and laterally. The new S version has a pivoting mechanism that enables movement in all directions. The prior version only enables forward and reverse movements. With the S version, the machine can also be moved to the right and left via the control handle. The effortless lateral movement is a significant advantage. Body weight is not required to direct the machine, which is often the case with competitive models. This improvement prevents operator fatigue, eliminates surface irregularities, and provides consistency throughout…>
