Wacker Neuson presents a new range of equipment for road construction. The focus is on compaction rollers, compact pavers, and digital machine control. All new models meet the Stage V standard and are designed to reduce operating costs.
The new rollers in the RD series feature hydraulically optimized compaction systems. This reduces the number of passes by up to 20 percent, according to Wacker Neuson. For road construction projects with tight time windows, this means: faster completion, less downtime. The rollers operate with an amplitude of up to 2.0 millimeters and achieve a compaction depth of 60 centimeters.
GPS machine control is optionally available on all new models. It enables automatic height control with an accuracy of plus/minus 5 millimeters. This relieves the operator and reduces rework. Especially for large areas, this saves operating hours and material.
Wacker Neuson also focuses on efficiency with asphalt pavers. The new models offer a paving width of up to 9 meters and a paving capacity of up to 600 tons per hour. Diesel consumption is 15 percent lower than the previous model, thanks to the Stage V engine and intelligent load management.
For smaller projects, Wacker Neuson offers compact vibrating plates and rammers in its range. These weigh between 60 and 120 kilograms and are designed for trenches and edge areas. The centrifugal force is up to 30 kilonewtons, and the compaction depth is 40 centimeters.
Digital networking plays a central role. Via telematics, operating data can be read in real time: operating hours, fuel consumption, maintenance intervals. This facilitates fleet planning and reduces service costs. Those using multiple machines can save up to 10 percent in operating costs.
For construction companies operating under time and cost pressure, these are relevant arguments. Faster compaction, more precise control, lower consumption – this pays off on large road construction projects. Wacker Neuson will deliver the new models from the second quarter of 2025. Prices have not yet been announced, but Stage V technology will increase acquisition costs by around 8 to 12 percent.
