Atlas Copco has launched its LP6505 walk-behind duplex roller with a flip-up hood to make service access easy, including battery charging. Manual brakes on the LP6500 model have been replaced with automatic hydraulic brakes on the LP6505. When pressure goes down, the roller brakes automatically. If pressure goes up, the brakes are released.

The LP6505 is also equipped with scrapers to avoid material sticking on the drums.

Kjell Helgesson, application specialist for 161 Atlas Copco’s light compaction products said the machine remains fully hydraulic, for both vibration and travelling. “We are also using our new hydraulic oil cooler so we can control temperature in hot environment,” he said.

This cooling reduces wear on components and battery lifetime increases. Also, polymer items such as seals and rubber retain their function which prevents the machine from leaking.

”The operator also has easy access to throttle control, electrical starting box, water control. And we have the same low vibrations values as on the LP6500,” said Helgesson.

Atlas Copco, founded in 1873, is based in Stockholm, Sweden. The group’s Atlas Copco Construction Tools lies within Atlas Copco´s Construction Technique business area, based in Essen, Germany, and it has production units in Europe, India and Asia.
