HAMM is introducing the HC series – a new generation of soil compactors for all markets. These compactors achieve a high level of compaction power while simultaneously achieving a reduction in CO2 emissions. The communication capabilities are new: All models in the HC series are "digital-ready" since they can be equipped with various interfaces for the digital construction site.
Ammann claims that its new ARS 30 and ARS 50 compact single drum rollers can deliver high compaction output. These single-drum machine weigh 3tonnes and 5tonnes respectively and are the most compact rollers in the firm’s soil compaction product line.
Dynapac says that its innovative CA3500D SEISMIC single drum roller offers high efficiency and productivity. The machine retains the well-accepted and proven features of the CA3500 model but now benefits from the innovative SEISMIC compaction system as well.
Kobelco says that its new SK550DLC-11 demolition machine is powerful, durable and versatile. The SK550DLC-11 delivers increased engine performance, durability and operator comfort compared with the previous model.
