New Developments in Single-Drum Rollers



The Australian construction industry will receive a significant boost in 2013 with the introduction of a new series of drum roller onto the market. Leading Chinese manufacturer Liugong is bringing to Australia the new CLG6118H, CLG6120H and CLG6142H compaction rollers, which have been developed to the highest western standards, and are designed and built to work in a variety of demanding environments.

The three new models, with rated working weights between 16,800kg and 23,000kg, are notable for the excellence of their engineering, and feature a combination of leading international technologies: they are powered by Cummins QSB6.7-C190 diesel engines, include hydraulic pumps and valves from Sauer, and are fitted with ZF axles. The operating width on all three models is 2100mm and there are three different drum diameters available - 1500mm, 1600mm and 1700mm.

These machines also feature a number of innovative design elements that represent significant developments in the areas of operator comfort and ease of maintenance.

They have a low overall height, and the cab is designed so as to give an operator 360-degree vision, aided by front and rear wipers, defrosting glass and an internal rearview mirror. It is fitted with ROPS and has low noise and vibration insulation, and also includes air conditioning, a sunroof and a rotary Grammer seat. The control assembly is well-located, as is the compaction meter, making the machine comfortable to operate for extended periods of time. Further, there is a unique double vibration reduction system, meaning these rollers provide a quiet, smooth ride (and which also contributes to the lifespan of components). Overall, the operator environment is designed very much with both safety and well-being at the forefront.
