4T Padfoot Roller
The GCM 104HP is a 4.5-tonne articulated hydrostatic padfoot roller designed for deep compaction of cohesive soils, clay, and silty backfills. Powered by a fuel-efficient 4-cylinder diesel engine with full hydrostatic drum and wheel drive, it delivers high traction and gradeability in confined or sloping site conditions. The machine is commonly used on residential subdivisions, utility trench reinstatement, civil pipeline works, foundation prep, and road repair projects.
Features
- 4-cylinder water-cooled diesel engine
- Full hydrostatic drive system providing variable travel speeds and gradeability
- Front padfoot drum with tapered tamping feet to knead and consolidate clay fill
- Dual-frequency vibration system for adaptable compaction depth
- Centre-articulated steering providing agile handling in confined trenches and narrow sites
- ROPS certified operator station with panoramic visibility to drum edges and rear tyres
- Heavy-duty scrapers fitted to clear mud and clay buildup between tamping pads
- High ground clearance chassis designed for uneven earthwork sites
- Levelling blade (dozer blade)
Uses
- Compacting heavy cohesive soils, clays, and silty fill
- Sub-base compaction for building pads, footings, and retaining walls
