Using technology to reduce the carbon footprint in asphalt production
Rokbak RA30 & RA40 set to impress
The Scottish articulated hauler manufacturer is making its North American tradeshow debut with its RA30 and RA40 machines.
“We cannot wait to give the RA30 and RA40 pride of place on our stand,” says Paul Douglas, managing director of Rokbak. “We’re looking forward to getting as many attendees interacting with what we’ve got lined up as possible, as well as introducing people to our knowledgeable team who are keen to show off our robust and hardworking haulers.”
“Rokbak is seeing huge demand for its RA30 and RA40 articulated haulers in the US,” says Robert Franklin, Rokbak’s director of sales – Americas. “The US is leading articulated hauler demand globally with huge infrastructure spend. There is a lot of construction activity at the moment around house and road building, so we are keen to meet with customers and potential customers at CONEXPO and discuss how the RA30 and RA40 can help with these projects.”
Rokbak will be showcasing its haulers and aftermarket offer alongside fellow Volvo Group companies Volvo Construction Equipment and Volvo Penta.
With sustainability in mind, the Rokbak event booth materials are all recycled or reusable. Two 40ft customised shipping containers, adorned in the recognisable Rokbak aesthetic, will be used for meeting rooms and product information displays. Following the event, these will be shipped back to Motherwell for reuse at future events.

Smart road recycling from Wirtgen
The WR-series machines are also available with the Wirtgen Performance Tracker. The system registers location-specific working parameters to provide a database for site analysis and documentation. For soil stabilisers, data includes working width and depth, area and distance worked and fuel consumption.
The technology is available for the firm’s latest WR series wheeled recycler/stabilisers. The WR-series recyclers have all-wheel drive and have working widths of up to 2.4m and high milling and mixing performances.
Meanwhile, the top-of-the-recycler -range W 380 Cri is a tracked rear loader with a mixing capacity of up to 800tonnes/hour and can be used for both cold in-place recycling (CIR) and full-depth reclamation (FDR) for the rehabilitation of wide roadways.

Ammann’s compact and productive soil compactor
The ARS 30 and ARS 50 are aimed at road construction firms and rental fleets that need small, durable and powerful machines. The rollers can compact a wide range of materials and have the option of smooth or padfoot drums. The ARS 30 and ARS 50 are powered by Kubota V2403-CR-T diesel engines with EGR+DOC+DPF (without SCR) after-treatment technology and rated at 43.2kW, meeting the Tier 4 Final Stage V emissions requirements.
A combination of an efficient engine, hydrostatic drive system and control deliver economical fuel consumption of 5litres/hour. That efficiency and a large fuel tank of 98litres mean that the rollers need only be fuelled once every three working shifts
The ARS 30 drum has a working width of 1200mm. The single-stage vibratory system and two different frequencies supply compaction power of 37kN and 68kN. The working width of the ARS 50 is 1400mm with a boosted single-stage vibratory system with two frequencies. It provides compaction power of 53kN and 85kN.
A smooth drum is standard on both machines. The ARS 30 has a drum thickness of 15mm, while the ARS 50 drum is 18mm thick. To improve versatility and profitability, the rollers are available with a padfoot (PD) drum (with a smooth shell kit) and a dozer blade.
The drums are designed to be maintenance-free as part of Ammann’s ECOdrop philosophy. The innovative no-rear-axle concept makes the rollers compact and allows a low engine location that improves the centre of gravity for stability.
Also available is the ACEforce system, which enables operators to monitor compaction progress. The Intelligent Compaction system shows the actual kB value on the display, significantly reducing the time required to achieve maximum compaction.
An optional telematics system can help monitor the machine’s position, assist with control and provide other important jobsite information. All the data can be monitored via the web.
