HAMM H 18I STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The HAMM H 18i is a heavy-duty smooth drum roller optimized for high-performance soil and asphalt compaction. It features an 84.3-inch (2.14 m) smooth steel drum with a diameter of 63 inches (1.6 m) and a drum thickness of 1.8 inches (45 mm), delivering a static linear load of 310.3 lbs/in for efficient compaction force. Powered by a Deutz TCD 6.1 L6 diesel engine producing 214.6 hp (ISO 14396/SAE J1349), it balances power and fuel efficiency with a 74-gallon fuel capacity. The machine weighs approximately 40,355.7 lbs (18,415 kg) operating weight, with a maximum weight of 45,283 lbs (20,540 kg), enhancing soil penetration and stability. Dimensionally, the H 18i offers a 91-inch effective operating width and an overall length of 259.85 inches (6.6 m), with a height to the cab top of 9.75 feet (2.97 m) and a turning radius inside of 165.4 inches (4.2 m), delivering excellent maneuverability. Its articulated steering with a 10° oscillation angle ensures precise control and traction on varied terrains. The roller provides two vibration frequencies—27 Hz and 30 Hz—with nominal amplitudes of 0.1 inches for high compaction efficiency and adaptable performance on different materials. It features a 3-point articulation system for improved cross-country mobility, combined with advanced electronic management via the Hammtronic system and the Easy Drive operating concept for optimized machine control. Fuel capacity includes an 8.5-gallon AdBlue tank for emissions compliance. Overall, the H 18i integrates robust mechanical design with advanced electronic compaction technology, suitable for demanding construction and paving projects.
