SR Series · Compaction

Density on the first pass

Compaction is where a road contract is won or lost. Too few passes and the layer fails testing; too many and you have burned diesel, hours and programme. The SR range matches amplitude and frequency to your material so density arrives when it should.

Amplitude, frequency, and knowing which to change

High amplitude drives energy deep into thick fill; low amplitude finishes the surface without over-working it. Getting the combination right is the difference between four passes and eight.

  • Dual amplitude / dual frequency. One machine covers deep lift and finishing duty.
  • Padfoot shell kits. Bolt-on conversion for cohesive clays and wet fill without a second machine.
  • Compaction meters. Real-time stiffness readout so operators stop passing when density is achieved.
  • Hydrostatic drive. Full torque on gradients, with anti-slip control on loose material.
  • ROPS/FOPS with sliding seat. Clear sightlines to both drum edges, which protects the edge line.
