11-tonne construction roller hit max warp at<br />
12km/h in fourth gear.<br />
Yes, but what about the drum vibration<br />
frequency, I hear you ask? Well, for the<br />
Poindexters out there, the HMK110CS operates<br />
between 27.5 and 30Hz, with a centrifugal force<br />
between 104 to 210kN. Fair to say, it’s designed<br />
to compact materials to spec in the shortest<br />
possible time.<br />
OPERATOR’S VIEW<br />
Operators have excellent forward viewing, and<br />
considering there’s an engine at the rear of the<br />
machine, the sloping hood and rearview camera<br />
remove what looks to be every blind spot behind<br />
the machine.<br />
Within reaching distance from the suspension<br />
seat is a touchpad display, phone/tablet holders,<br />
and a host of other storage places in the<br />
spacious cab.<br />
Hot days are taken into account with the cool<br />
box for keeping liquid refreshments at just the<br />
right temperature, along with something like<br />
10 vents to pump air around from the airconditioning<br />
system.<br />
And, of course, the work day is made all that<br />
better with sounds coming from what looks like a<br />
decent pair of overhead speakers.<br />
“So what do you think?” asks Liam. “I reckon,<br />
it’s not too bad,” I say. “It might be just the thing<br />
I need to jump into when I want to get away from<br />
the office. Sign me up.”<br />
6. The sound system gets<br />
the tick of approval the<br />
air-conditioning<br />
7. The touchpad also controls<br />
the air conditioning<br />
8. Spacious cab and wide<br />
viewing<br />
9. Well organised easy<br />
access controls<br />
