The latest small / compact asphalt roller by MIMICO outshines most other double drum rollers from various perspectives; the Dynapac-CC1200 VI is robust, comfortable and easy to operate which are critical towards high productivity.
The machine was the result of collaboration between MIMICO and Dynapac in terms of design and easily meets the high requirements of the construction industry. The unique design features cross-mounted engine coupled enhanced visibility and casted forks that are capable of lifting, tie downs and towing among others.
In essence the Dynapac CC1200 VI is a small 2.7T that features double drum vibratory rollers that are perfect for flattening surface areas for a variety of projects such as parking lots, tennis courts, bike paths and other types of small to medium sized projects. Paving and compaction jobs which often face penalties and rework could be avoided easily by assigning a single Dynapac CC1200 VI roller to the project.
According to Dynapac engineers designed a series of models which include the Dynapac CA1500D (single roller), the larger Dynapac CC4200C VI (suitable for projects involving large surface areas), the Dynapac CC1000 Plus (compact double roller) and the Dynapac CC900 Plus (compact double roller) all of which are capable of delivering the equal level of productivity as previous bigger models.
These machines are also best for projects that have limited or congested space due to the enhanced level of manoeuvrability that these machines offer with an outside turning radius of 3770 mm and a Steering angle of ±330° which have a direct impact on efficiency on jobs.
The machine incorporates hydraulics for almost all aspect of its operation as a pair of hydraulic motors are used to drive each drum separately that offers enhanced traction whilst the other pair of hydraulic motors drive the weight in each drum. Despite the fact that the Dynapac CC1200 VI is small and compact, this machine has incorporated most of the design features that are generally only found on much larger machines such as dual centrifugal forces, dual-vibration amplitudes and dual frequencies.
The new model is capable of handling just about any compaction effectively because of the hydrostatic drive and dual drum drive mechanism that spins eccentric weight internally which result in a radial reaction force that enhance the compaction force of the rollers. The concept basically does not rely on gravity alone and similar to trying to compact earth with our feet.
When an individual is standing still or even walking, compaction is dependent on the weight of the individual, in contrast if that person was to jump up and down and additional force is exerted on the ground that results in more soil being compressed on each bounce.
This particular roller has gained traction in the construction equipment roller compactor rental segment and available for hire from construction equipment rental companies at relatively affordable rates. Most construction managers generally obtain these double drum rollers for hire due to the cost effectiveness of hiring in contrast to purchasing these machines which are pricey and have the potential to impact cash flow.
