At the Intermat show in Paris last week, Hamm unveiled its first pneumatic tire roller to feature the Easy Drive operation system, the GRW 280i.

Hamm calls Easy Drive, which is also used in the tandem rollers of Hamm’s DV+ and HD+ series as well as in the single drum compactors of the H series, “intuitive” and “easy to master.”

Two years after the company first unveiled the concept of a mini dumper with a rotating console, Wacker Neuson says an updated version of this unique compact machine could be on its way to the U.S.

At the 2016 Bauma show, Wacker Neuson offered media and attendees the first look at the DW50 rotating console concept. The mini dumper allowed the operator to face either the load or what is typically the rear of the machine by rotating the entire console 180 degrees.
