Dual Pump Propel System
The exclusive dual pump propel system provides a separate balanced hydraulic flow to both the rear drive axle and the front drum drive motor. Dual pumps also minimize drum and wheel spin-out in low traction conditions. |
|
Dual propel pumps
Provide separate, balanced hydraulic flow to the rear wheel axle and the drum drive motors. Provides superior gradeability on steep slopes and increases tractive effort in loose or poor underfoot conditions. |
|
Limited slip differential
Provides balanced tractive effort and smooth torque transfer to both rear wheels. |
|
Two speed ranges
For versatile operation. Low speed range for vibratory operation and maximum torque when climbing grades. High speed range moves machine quickly over longer distances. |
|
Flushing valves
In each propel circuit helps keep hydraulic oil cool and clean for maximum system efficiency. |
|
Two propel pump system
Has dedicated pumps to drive the heavy-duty, high-torque rear wheel and drum motors independently. Should the drum or wheels begin to spin, there is always hydraulic flow to the non-spinning motor, allowing continuous tractive effort. |
|
Controllability is another feature of dual propel pumps.
The operator has complete machine control to stop, maintain machine position and change directions while on a slope. This feature is especially useful on steep slopes and loose underfoot conditions. |
|
The pressure override (POR) valve
Limits maximum system pressure by de-stroking the propel pumps. This reduces pump flow while maintaining system pressure. This lowers the horsepower draw while accelerating the machine which saves fuel. |
|
One-Piece Sloped Hood Design
The one-piece sloped hood design provides exceptional operator visibility to the outside edge of the rear tires and to the rear of the machine. |
|
Visibility
To the tire edges and rear of machine is exceptional. The sloped hood allows the operator to see obstacles measuring 1 meter (3' 3") high located 1 meter (3' 3") to the rear of the machine. Excellent visibility increases productivity when working near obstructions or maneuvering around the job site. |
|
One-piece lockable engine hood

|
Patented Eccentric Weights
Standard dual amplitude expands the compactor’s application range. The large spread between high and low centrifugal force makes it easier to tailor the compactive effort to density specifications. |
|
Positive amplitude selection
Accomplished when the steel shot is repositioned inside the hollow eccentric weight. Direction of weight shaft rotation determines amplitude level. |
