Volvo PT240 Pneumatic Tyre Roller Specifications

Compaction Specs

The Volvo PT240 is a highly versatile pneumatic tyre roller engineered to deliver exceptional compaction performance on a wide range of road building and civil construction projects across Australia. Designed for both base and finish compaction of asphalt mixes, graded aggregates, and cohesive soils, this machine ensures a smooth, high-quality surface finish. Its unique kneading action, produced by the heavy-duty pneumatic tyres, provides uniform density and excellent sealing of the pavement surface.

Ideal for major highway construction, local government road maintenance, and large-scale commercial developments, the PT240 offers outstanding operator visibility, comfort, and control. With its flexible ballasting options, the operating weight can be easily adjusted to suit specific site requirements, making it a highly productive and reliable asset for Australian hire fleets and civil contractors seeking superior compaction results.

Additional Information

The Volvo PT240 features an advanced hydrostatic propulsion system that delivers smooth, stepless speed control, preventing displacement of hot asphalt mixes during operation. Its unique tyre configuration and oscillation system ensure consistent ground contact and uniform compaction pressure, even on uneven terrain. The spacious, ergonomically designed operator platform provides excellent 360-degree visibility, allowing for precise edge compaction. Additionally, the pressurized water sprinkler system with triple filtration prevents asphalt from sticking to the tyres, ensuring continuous, high-efficiency operation on demanding Australian jobsites.
