Dynapac

Dynapac articulated compact tandem rollers are designed for asphalt compaction in tight spaces, such as streets and pavements in urban areas. The CC1100, CC1200 and CC1300 (pictured) asphalt compaction roller models are available in either a dual-steer vibratory drum configuration or in a combi version featuring one vibratory drum and four rubber rear tires. The machines are powered by water-cooled Kubota diesel engines, which are designed to run quietly and fuel efficiently. The CC1300 is suitable for compacting sub-bases and base courses and can follow a small paver.

Terex

The Terex TV1200 tandem asphalt roller offers a 6-in-1 joystick that is well positioned to allow the operator to easily select all operational functions. This unit's dynamic braking system can be engaged when the joystick is in neutral or when the unit is shut off. Plastic fuel, water and hydraulic tanks reduce condensation and are encased in steel for maximum protection. All tanks are removable for cleaning and positioned to avoid vandalism. The TV1200 has an operating weight of 6,382 pounds, a centrifugal force of 6,776 pounds and a static linear load of 77.5 pounds per inch.

Bomag

The Bomag BMP 8500 articulated compactor features bolt-on drum extensions, which give the BMP 8500 a dual working width of 24 and 33.5 inches. It also features the Bomag Operator Safety System, which is designed to increase worker safety by automatically stopping machine travel if the operator is in the safety zone. Powered by a 19.4-hp Kubota diesel engine, the BMP 8500 delivers high compaction output from its dual exciters and directed centrifugal force. The machine offers two selectable amplitudes resulting in two centrifugal force output options — 8,000 and 16,000 pounds — giving the compactor the versatility to work in a variety of jobs and applications.

Doosan Infracore Portable Power

Doosan Infracore Portable Power offers a full line-up of reversible vibratory plate compactors. The BXR Series is designed to provide high compaction performance and smooth movement to maximize productivity in graded aggregates, sand and mixed soils. The dual eccentric shaft technology delivers the maximum compaction force and productivity, and the reversing feature allows the operator to easily change direction with a single lever. Shock mounts are positioned near the engine to alleviate handle vibration. At 158 pounds, the BXR-60H (pictured) offers 3,417 pounds of centrifugal force. The unit is powered by a Honda GX120 four-cycle gasoline engine and features a 14- by 19-inch plate for a recommended compaction depth of 13 inches.

Stone Construction Equipment

Stone Construction Equipment's Silver Fox Series of forward plates consist of eight models, including a plate designed specifically for optimum performance on asphalt. A forward-mounted eccentric and a 15-degree ramped leading edge are designed to produce fast forward travel speeds and optimum gradeability. A patented one-piece base plate integrated with the extra-large eccentric housing dissipates internal heat over the plate, cooling the oil and the eccentric bearings while heating the plate surface for smooth asphalt compaction. In addition, the self-cleaning base plate helps eliminate dirt build-up for easier maintenance.
