W irtgen’s HAMM brand is a house- hold name in the road construction industry and has once again proven its prowess with the launch of its HP Series range of

pneumatic tyre rollers. In the 1960s, HAMM, said to be a pioneer in the compaction sector, launched its well-known GRW range. The machine concept of the pneumatic tyre roller was revolutionary at that time, and HAMM has continued to develop

these machines up to the present day. Now, a good 50 years later, the compaction specialist is again launching a new generation of this roller type: the HP Series. It replaces the existing GRW Series worldwide, effective end of 2020.
