Operating weights range from 11-25tonnes while engine power outputs range from 85-160kW. However, new ECO modes ensure more efficient operation and allow the machines to operate in partial load mode unless more output is required, saving fuel.

The cabs are larger and more comfortable, with even lower vibration levels for the operator than on the earlier models. A wide array of options is available including an automatic engine stop system and a dozer blade, while CR variants with reinforced drums for use on rocky ground will be available in due course.

All the new soil compactors can be fitted with the latest machine control systems from the leading suppliers, to suit customer preference.
