Tandem wheel compactor CT260

Overview
The CT260 vibratory tandem roller is designed for productivity, serviceability, usability and security. It delivers efficient compaction performance while being intuitive and easy to operate. The machine targets applications such as road works and landfill where densifying granular soils and improving surface load-bearing capacity are required.

Key performance & powertrain

• Stage V Kubota engine delivering 18.2 kW (engine chosen for fuel economy without compromising performance).
• High centrifugal force range for effective compaction: 23.6 kN – 41.1 kN.
• Operating linear load range: 10.5 kg/cm – 12.3 kg/cm.
• Drum width options: 1,000 mm to 1,200 mm (configurable drum widths offered).
• Operating weight range: 2,420 kg – 2,560 kg.

Operator and usability

• Compact, ergonomic operator stand with two-sided access.
• Responsive directional drive lever for smooth and precise operation.
• New CT control panel with simple work modes and large switches designed to be used with gloved hands.
• Hourglass drum design and chamfered drum edges for excellent drum-edge visibility and a smooth finish; rear drum lies flush with rear chassis to improve rear visibility.
• Integrated grab handle in the moulded plastic water tank and additional ergonomically positioned grab rail for safe access.
• Manually adjustable offset to help avoid kerb and ironwork damage, increasing efficiency.

Safety & security

• LiveLink telematics for machine location, geofencing and operating-zone/curfew alerts to support fleet security and service planning.
• Operator-present seat switch with timed cut-out delay to enhance mobile safety while allowing operator movement.
• Integrated lockable console cover for additional protection of controls.
• Folding ROPS frame as standard to enable easier storage while retaining operator protection; designed to be folded without removing beacon.
• Optional key immobiliser available to reduce theft risk.

Watering, reliability & environmental considerations

• Pressurised water sprinkler system with upward-facing nozzles for consistent drum water supply and reduced build-up on rollers.
• High level of protection against water and dust applied to electrical components to enhance reliability in harsh site conditions.

Serviceability & maintenance

• Kubota engine installation and high-lift bonnet allow daily checks and many service points to be accessed from a single side.
• Radiator positioned at the centre of the machine for easy cleaning and to provide protected battery and service point access.
• Maintenance-free centre joint eliminating greasing requirements for that component.
• Plastic fuel and water tanks to reduce corrosion risk and simplify inspection/replacement.
• Improved fill-point identification with fill points located on opposite sides of the machine for convenience.

Compact design & manoeuvrability

• Very compact footprint enables operation in confined sites; smallest turning radius among comparable tandem rollers (typical turning radius range noted around 2,375 mm to 2,475 mm depending on configuration).
• Flush rear drum placement improves operator sightlines when working adjacent to walls and obstacles.
