HAMM Construction Equipment Dismantled Machines

About Hamm

Hamm started out in 1878 when Anton and Franz Hamm founded Maschinenfabrik Gebr in Germany. The company originally started off building threshing machines for use in agriculture, but it pivoted in 1911 to build the first diesel-powered roller for use in road construction.

Hamm never really looked back from that moment and now sells soil compactors, tandem rollers, and static rollers. The soil compactors come in smooth or padfoot roller drum configurations; the tandem rollers come in single or double drum configurations with articulated rollers, all-wheel steered rollers, and other options; and the static rollers come with pneumatic tire rollers.

One interesting project Hamm is currently working on for the future is a line of autonomous, self-driving rollers for use in road construction. The goal is to put the same steering assistance systems you’d find in a self-driving car and apply them to rollers to remove the necessity for human operation. This means that someone could monitor multiple autonomous rollers at once, setting up a designated path for them, and then let road workers focus on other projects to improve efficiency and productivity.
