MCFADYEN Contractors (Campbeltown) Ltd has snapped up the first JCB CT380-130 tandem roller in Scotland for road surfacing projects.
The civil engineering specialist is utilising the model for road maintenance, compacting material into small potholes on the narrow road linking two company-owned hard rock quarries.
Supplied by Scot JCB, the CT380-130 tandem roller joins a range of existing JCB compaction equipment in McFadyen’s fleet. It has been introduced alongside the CT430-140 as the latest additions to JCB’s compaction range, completing the line-up of sub five-tonne tandem rollers.
Director David McFadyen said, “JCB rollers have proven themselves to be extremely reliable and productive machines, which have great compaction technology that helps ensure smooth finishes. We are confident the new model will be even better, backed up with exceptional service support from Scot JCB.”
Powered by an EU Stage V diesel engine with DOC and DPF, the CT380-130 weighs in at 4.1-tonnes and offers a linear load of 15.8kg/cm. The machine has a vibrating frequency of 50-60Hz and a 0.50mm amplitude, delivering a centrifugal force of 41-59kN.
