Earthmoving & soil compaction

Hamm is now offering new vibration crusher drums for its HC Series compactors. The machines feature new tool holders, can handle crushing and compacting in a single step and meet Stage V/Tier 4 Final emissions requirements, with Tier 3 emissions variants due shortly. 

These compactors have been designed specifically to crush and compact rock and stone, allowing processes onsite to be streamlined by reducing the work and expense needed for material preparation and transport. For customers, this means time, cost and CO₂ emissions can be cut by up to 50%.

Bomag is introducing a new generation, radio remote-controlled multi-purpose compactor. The BMP 8500 compactor is said to be powerful and robust and features an improved radio control system over previous models.

The firm says that using radio control offers better performance than infrared systems, which allows multiple units to operate simultaneously onsite. Should a remote control unit go missing, a new unit can be paired without the need for special knowledge or tools.
