VV 1500 PD is a new generation vibratory roller with the high comfort for an operator, up-to-date design with the "1 x 1 m" visibility and with an extremely low gravity centre. VV 1500 D is designed for medium and large scale compaction of rockfill, loose, semi-cohesive materials and stabilization. The machine is based on an articulated frame with a hydrostatic drive system of a smooth vibratory drum and two rubber tyred wheels. VV 1500 PD is designed for medium and large scale compaction of semi-cohesive and cohe-sive materials. The machine is based on an articulated frame with a hydrostatic drive system of a padded vibratory drum and two rubber-tyred wheels. Direct drive of the rear wheels through the hydromotors with gearboxes enables a very low built in mounting of the driving power unit, by keeping the minimal length of the machine. It offers to the user the advantage of an excellent view from the operator's place and excellent machine sta-bility and manoeuvrability in comparison with the other machines, which are equipped with the rigid driving axles. The vibration source is a double staged undirected vibration exciter, placed in the centre of the drum. The machine is equipped with a hydrostatic drive of all machine functions, Cummins engine, hydraulic Sauer-Danfoss. It fulfils the requirements of pollutants emission directives 97/68/ECE Stage 2 and EPA/CARB Tier 2. The machine meets the CE marking conditions.
