Why opt for HAMM HP 280i Pneumatic-Tire Roller? Hammtronic, an electronic machine management system, and its two-point steering system make it easy to operate to minimize passes.

In this episode of The Track, Dennis connects with Dan Sant Anslemo, Hamm Applications Support Manager for the WIRTGEN GROUP, to talk through pneumatic rollers. They focus on the Hamm HP 280i and how it performs on the job site. Dan covers key features like flexible ballasting, two-point steering for improved stability and the differences between rubber-tire and steel rollers. From technologies like Hammtronic to adjustable weight configurations, it all comes back to one goal: delivering the right compaction to build stronger, more efficient roads for the future.
