Anumber of the major asphalt compactor manufacturers now offer compact machines that feature electric power. These machines are all compact units that are aimed at customers in segments such as the rental sector. Compact ride-on twin drum compactors are used widely in road construction operations, particularly for smaller works and for repairs following utilities works. Rental machines typically may spend a lot of time standing waiting to be used rather than operating continuously, as with larger pieces of equipment. Diesel machines are typically left idling while the asphalt is raked into position. After compaction, the machines travel to the next repair site where they may also be left idling for extended periods, wasting costly fuel. But battery equipment does not have to idle and will draw no current at rest. And with onsite utilisation times comparatively low, electric power offers a practical alternative for this equipment segment over conventional diesel engines. |
