Frequently asked questions:
HAMM Asphalt Rollers:
What are they used for?
These are tandem vibratory asphalt rollers used for:
- Compacting asphalt surfaces
- Parking lots and driveways
- Road construction and paving
- Patch work and finishing
What does “VV” mean?
VV = Dual Vibratory Drums
- Both front and rear drums vibrate
- Provides strong compaction performance
What does “VO” mean?
VO = Vibratory + Oscillation
- One drum vibrates
- One drum oscillates (horizontal movement)
Oscillation is gentler and reduces risk of over-compaction or surface damage.
What is oscillation and why is it useful?
Oscillation compacts by shearing forces instead of vertical impact, which:
- Reduces vibration to surrounding structures
- Allows compaction near buildings and bridges
- Works well on thin lifts and sensitive materials
What types of jobs are best for each model?
HD 8 VV
- Sidewalks
- Trenches
- Small patches
HD 10 VV
- Driveways
- Small parking lots
- Tight urban work
HD 110i VV
- Commercial lots
- Medium roadwork
- General paving
HD 120i VO
- Roadways
- High-production paving
- Jobs near structures (due to oscillation)
What is vibration frequency and amplitude?
- Frequency: how fast the drum vibrates
- Amplitude: how strong the vibration is
Higher amplitude = deeper compaction
Higher frequency = smoother surface finish
How do I choose the right roller size?
Depends on:
- Job size
- Asphalt lift thickness
- Space constraints
General rule:
- Small jobs → HD 8 or HD 10
- Medium jobs → HD 110i
- Large or sensitive jobs → HD 120i VO
Are these rollers suitable for finish rolling?
Yes—especially:
- HD 110i VV (with proper settings)
- HD 120i VO (excellent finish due to oscillation)
What is edge clearance?
Edge clearance allows rolling close to curbs or obstacles:
- HAMM rollers are designed with good side clearance for precision work
What maintenance is required?
- Daily: check water system, drums, fluids
- Regular: engine oil, filters
- Inspect vibration/oscillation systems
HAMM Soil Compactors:
What is the difference between these models?
- HC 50i: compact, light-duty jobs and tight spaces
- HC 70i: mid-size, general-purpose compaction
- HC 120i: heavy-duty, high-production compaction
What types of drums are available?
- Smooth drum: for granular soils (sand, gravel)
- Padfoot (P models): for cohesive soils (clay, silt)
Padfoot shells can often be added to smooth drums for versatility.
What is vibration and why is it important?
Vibration helps:
- Increase soil density
- Remove air voids
- Improve load-bearing capacity
Higher machine weight and drum force = deeper compaction.
What is 3-point articulation?
HAMM’s 3-point articulation system improves:
- Steering precision
- Stability
- Operator comfort
- Traction in rough terrain
What is gradeability?
Gradeability is the machine’s ability to climb slopes.
HAMM compactors feature:
- All-wheel drive with anti-slip control
- High traction on uneven ground
What types of jobs are best for each model?
HC 50i
- Trenches and utility work
- Landscaping and small site prep
- Tight or confined areas
HC 70i
- Residential and commercial sitework
- Road base and subgrade
- General-purpose compaction
HC 120i
- Highway and road construction
- Large-scale earthmoving
- Deep lift compaction
What engines do they use?
- Smaller models: typically Kubota diesel engines
- Larger models (HC 120i): may use John Deere engines
All meet modern emissions standards (Tier 4 / Stage V).
What is HAMMTRONIC?
On larger models like the HC 120i:
- Electronic system that manages engine and hydraulics
- Improves fuel efficiency
- Enhances performance and safety
What is Easy Drive?
HAMM’s Easy Drive control system:
- Standardized, intuitive controls
- Reduces operator learning curve
- Improves jobsite efficiency
What is fuel consumption like?
Approximate:
- HC 50i / 70i: ~1.5–3 gallons/hour
- HC 120i: ~3–6 gallons/hour
Are they easy to transport?
- HC 50i / 70i: towable on medium-duty trailers
- HC 120i: requires heavy equipment trailer and CDL truck
What maintenance is required?
- Daily: check drum, fluids, and scraper bars
- Regular: oil, filters, hydraulic system
- Inspect vibration system and articulation joint
Are they comfortable to operate?
Yes—features include:
- Open ROPS or enclosed cab
- Suspension seating
- Excellent visibility
- Ergonomic controls
When should I choose each model?
- HC 50i: tight access, utility work
- HC 70i: everyday sitework and versatility
- HC 120i: large jobs requiring depth and productivity
