Get more uptime with Ammann’s ARX 10.1, ARS 30 and ARS 50 rollers
Ammann showcased its exciting new group of ARX 10.1, ARS 30 and ARS 50 rollers at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2023. All the rollers require less maintenance, offering their users increased uptime.
Designed for the most challenging of situations, the ARS 30 and ARS 50 rollers have maintenance-free articulation and oscillations joints, and a drum system that you will never need to touch. All that is needed is engine service, says Juan Rodriguez, Ammann engineer and product specialist.
The ARX 10.1 features cleverly-designed drums, allowing users to work right up to the edge of obstacles such as walls, removing the need for a second pass with a different machine.
Take a look at the all-electric ATR 68 rammer, too. It is another low-maintenance machine. The lack of a traditional engine means no clogged air filters, low noise levels, and minimum dust. What’s not to like?
