JCB is boosting range of asphalt rollers with compact models

JCB is broadening its range of asphalt compactors with the addition of the VMT380 and VMT430 models. These are said to offer high operator visibility, comfort, safety and performance in comparison with other models on the market, according to the firm. Tapered frames ensure good sightlines while both models are powered by 2.2litre Kohler diesels mounted in the front chassis section and rated at 34.6kW, with large fuel and water tanks that are said to be class leading. A novel feature is said to be the trave

These are said to offer high operator visibility, comfort, safety and performance in comparison with other models on the market.

Tapered frames ensure good sightlines while both models are powered by 2.2litre 2278 Kohler diesels mounted in the front chassis section and rated at 34.6kW, with large fuel and water tanks that are said to be class leading.

Travel speed is claimed to be 10% higher than competing machines.

Vibration frequency is 66hZ and amplitude is 0.4mm, while vibration can be selected on either front or rear or both drums as required. Both models are offered with a choice of drum widths of 1.3m or 1.4m. The VMT380 weighs either 3.8tonnes or 3.9tonnes while the VMT430 weighs 4.2tonnes or 4.3tonnes, depending on whether the 1.3m or 1.4m drums are fitted.

The VMT380 replaces the earlier VMT390 while the VMT430 replaces the VMT400. The drums can be offset if required while other features include hinged scraper bars and a maintenance free centre joint.

  • INTERMAT launch for Ammann compaction measurement
    January 6, 2017
    Ammann has introduced the ACEeco compaction measuring system for its five model AVH hydraulic plate range. As an extra cost option, the system uses a compaction display that indicates the compaction progress using an LED scale. The system also displays the maximum compaction level achievable and this, said Ammann, will help operators to avoid making unnecessary passes and over-compaction. Available for AVH5020, 5030, 6020, 6030 and 100-20 models, which have operating weights from 530–555kg and working width
