PNEUMATIC ROLLER

The PT220C measures 5060 mm long, 2270 mm wide and 3430 mm tall. It is a 10.5-tonne pneumatic roller with a two-speed, and maintenance free, hydrostatic transmission mated to a 97.6 hp (99 bhp) engine running on four wide front and rear tyres overlapped by 50 mm to provide a fullwidth coverage. It has a pressurised, rust-proof 550-litre Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) water system that provides an adjustable flow rate to meet the operator needs and to help eliminate material build-up on the tyre surface. It also aids in maintaining mat surface temperature and reducing water refills. When it comes to operator comfort, the vehicle offers a sliding console, operator seatbelt and seat presence indicator, suspension on both seats and a USB charger. Tyre contact can be optimised by the adjusted tyre pressure, managed from the central point. It helps achieve target compaction in fewer passes.
