Hamm HD 12e Electric Rollers Excel on Steep Asphalt Slopes

Hamm AG, part of the Wirtgen Group, successfully utilized two HD 12e electric tandem rollers for the enlargement of the Rabenleite high-level reservoir at the Reisach pumped-storage hydroelectric plant in the Upper Palatine Forest. These electric rollers operated effectively on steep slopes of around 40%, which would typically require significant modifications for diesel-powered machines. Connected with steel wire ropes and secured to an excavator, the rollers ensured precise and low-noise compaction with zero local emissions. The project increased the reservoir's storage capacity by 6% to enhance the plant's operation. Due to their impressive performance and reliability, these electric rollers are planned to be used in future projects, reflecting a positive outlook on the suitability of electric machinery for challenging conditions.
