User-friendly with increased safety

The Hitachi TMR65KDS walk-behind roller offers exceptional performance and quality thanks to the direct connection between the hydraulic motors and the drums – without the need for a gear reduction system.

With only a 650mm drum width, these lightweight machines offer excellent manoeuvrability. A high level of linear pressure ensures optimal performance and a powerful compaction force. Additionally, a low overall height means better visibility and safer working conditions for the operator.

Energy is transferred from engine rotation to the hydraulic pump via the V-belt, which powers the motors in each drum. By operating the FNR lever, the operator can easily adjust the flow of hydraulic liquid and change the direction of travel.

Easier maintenance

Maintenance can be carried out quickly and effortlessly, thanks to the one-touch keyed gull-wing engine cover, which allows convenient access to the engine and reduces servicing times.

The pull-out sprinkler nozzle is a simple and effective cleaning tool. The 35-litre capacity sprinkler tank also ensures that a large amount of cleaner can be made available out on site.

Additional features include: a wide opening for lifting, making transportation between job sites easier than ever; and a conveniently located parking brake and reverse travel-stop knob also help to increase job site safety.

“The TMR65KDS walk-behind roller offers the same high level of quality, reliability and overall performance Hitachi construction machinery owners are familiar with,” says Joep van den Maagdenberg, Product Specialist at HCME. “It is an easy machine to operate, and has been designed to be more productive on the job site through a number of time-saving features, which also help to increase availability.”
