AMMANN AP240

TYRED ROLLER
High performance and compaction output, together with reliability and long lifetime, ensures the best compressing results of AP 240. Enjoy the worlds most popular PTR.
Versatility of usage due to kneading effect The kneading effect is a unique ability of PTR´s. Constant static action of dead weight and elasticity of rubber tires result in a permanent tamping and sealing effect of the machine. This effect enables the usage of AP 240 for a wide range of compaction applications, from compaction asphalt mixtures to compaction operations on soils. The ballasting ability and central influence system allow the parameters to be set exactly, to allow the best compressing system results.
High reliability and performance. The proven hydrodynamic propulsion system ensures good driving ability, outstanding gradeability and maximum effective operation of the machine. The powerful
Cummins engine, together with Spice-Clark gearbox, provides 3 machine speeds in both directions. Isostatic suspension of the front axle, for all-time contact with the compacting material. The up-to-date design and well glazed cab provide a perfect view into the working field; 1x1 visibility ensured.
