  • Variable frequency setting permits the operator to adapt vibration to the particular material being compacted

  • High engine power-to-weight ratio and high dynamic force combine to achieve maximum material density in a minimum of passes

  • Heavy-duty axle with No-Spin® differential, low centre of gravity, and hydrostatic Ultra-Grade® Traction System with wheel and drum drive all combine for steep climbing without interruption in traction power
  • Optional CompAnalyzer provides contractors with full data documentation of the compaction process, and allows the operator to organise work most efficiently
