JCB India offers a wide range of road compaction equipment with three world-class products – the VMT330 (3-tonne Class Mini Tandem Roller), VMT 860eco (9-tonne Class Tandem Roller) and JCB116 (11-tonne class Soil Compactor). The JCB116 Soil Compactor is the latest addition in JCB’s Road Compactors portfolio.

JCB116 comes with a state-of-the-art JCB Diesel Max engine, providing fuel savings of up to 5-10 per cent, the company claims. The new Soil Compactor is equipped with proven German Vibration Technology and is designed to give more compaction per litre. “It guarantees desired compaction density in a minimum number of passes,” JCB said.

JCB India offers an in-built Compaction Meter in its range of Compactors. Designed and developed in India, the Compaction Meter ensures uniform compaction as the operator exactly knows where to stop and the number of passes that are required to achieve the desired density. This leads to uniform compaction density and savings in fuel as well as time. It helps in reducing the number of passes and also avoids over compaction.

The JCB116 Soil Compactor offers the superior operator environment with ergonomically designed steering wheel. The cab platform is mounted on 4 viscous mounts, to isolate it from any vibrations and to make the operator feel comfortable even during high amplitude passes.

All the JCB compactors offer lifetime lubricated center joints and also offer grease-free bearings. This saves the costs of lubrication and also reduces the possibility of failures due to any negligence in greasing the joints.
