Tim Kowalski from WIRTGEN GROUP showcases how Hamm is advancing compaction technology with the launch of Smart Compact Basic and the all-new Smart Compact Pro.

These intelligent systems go beyond traditional vibration and oscillation, giving operators real-time control based on temperature, stiffness and density. With Smart Compact Pro, Hamm introduces real-time density mapping powered by integrated ground-penetrating radar, setting a new benchmark for precision and efficiency.

From automatic drum switching to fewer passes and enhanced job site safety, Hamm rollers are helping contractors achieve more with less. Watch this episode to learn more about smart compaction, including the following:

VIO drum technology for high-frequency vibration and oscillation
Smart Compact Basic updates with temperature and stiffness-based control
Smart Compact Pro debut featuring radar-based density mapping
Benefits for DOTs, improved safety and reduced core sampling
