The JCB VMT 160-80/90/100 road roller is one of the most demanded machines. After all it is designed to offer high productivity and reliability with maximum operating economy, excellent serviceability and operation safety. Moreover, the ideal combination of static weights, centrifugal forces and amplitudes makes this roller compactor perfect for a wide range of both soil and asphalt applications, from rolling sub-base to finish rolling. Further, VMT 160-80/90/100 compaction rollers are also ideal for a wide range of workplaces, including yards, access roads, residential streets, car parks, roads, highways and airports. All the credit goes to its excellent maneuverability and a compact design. Our smallest road roller, VMT 160-80/90/100 weighs 1763 to 2050 kg and is powered by a Kubota 17 kW motor. It has an operating width of 800 – 1000 mm and generates centrifugal forces of 9.2 to 18 kN. For comfort and productivity, there is an adjustable seat too.
To ensure maximum productivity, we’ve designed the VMT 160-80/90/100 road roller with performance to the fore. That’s why it comes equipped with concentric machined drum surfaces, a pressurised filtered water spray system, the largest fuel tanks in the industry, and automatic vibration control with manual override. Not only that but this roller compactor has single-piece circular eccentric shafts for high performance and durability, a high vibration frequency for fast rolling speeds, and a high curb and side clearance. Hydrostatic front and rear drum propulsion makes the VMT 160-80/90/100 road roller even more productive. There’s even switchable drum vibration; choose from double, single front or single rear configurations. The model is even more flexible through its optional 65 mm drum offset.
To keep the VMT 160-80/90/100 road roller productive for longer, we’ve designed it to be easily serviceable and highly durable. That means comfortable driver stands with extremely low vibration levels, front-to-rear-frame oscillation for stability, oil splash lubricated vibration bearings, class-leading service access (including a lightweight hood), maintenance-free centre joints, and exceptional hose and piping protection. There’s also spring-applied, hydraulically released parking brakes and spring-loaded, adjustable vulcolan scrapers on each drum. What’s more, to make sure every VMT 160-80/90/100 road roller is ready to roll when it leaves the factory, we bench test each individual machine as part of an intensive test-run.
