| The Hamm HD+ 110 Roller is a machine with an operating weight of a little over 10 tonnes. A variety of versions are manufactured and the one modelled here is the VO version with an oscillatory drum and open cab with a roll over protection structure (ROPS).
Among the features of the real machine are the hydrostatic drive, crab steering and rotating and moving operator's seat. It has won a number of design awards.
Packaging
The model comes in a colourful Hamm branded box which has a few specification details about the real machine, and the model is wrapped in polythene and packed between polystyrene trays. There were no defects or missing parts on the review model.
There is no assembly to do as the model is complete out of the box and there is no information describing its features.
Detail
The rollers are metal with a smooth finish and the scrapers fit closely and have the securing bolts detailed. Lines run to the drum centres and there are finely detailed edge pressers and cutters on one side of the model. Perhaps the only things missing are the work lights at the drum edges and the top sprinkler bars.
Under the cab there are doors to the engine area on both sides and these are excellently detailed with tiny graphics. The engine inside is highly detailed too. Very good graphics are also applied to the front and rear. The bolt heads are highlighted throughout.
The water tanks for the roller drums have a good matt finish and include realistic filler caps, and the fuel tank filler cap is modelled also.
The ROPS is metal and includes a realistic beacon light. The control console is decorated to resemble the dashboard, and a tiny graphic indicates the first aid box.
Features
The drums roll smoothly. The steering can be set by using the cylinders across the pivot connection to achieve an angle of around 30°, and the front roller can also be offset to allow an overlapping compaction area.
The two doors to the engine area can be opened and they even include clips so that they close shut tightly.
The operator's seat rotates in either direction, and also slides side-to-side to allow a better viewing position.
Quality
This is an excellent quality model, with the use of very small graphics giving it a very realistic look.
Price
The model is very good value for money.
Overall
This ROPS version of the Hamm HD+ 110 is an excellent model by WSI. The details and features are very good and it is an outstanding model.
Footnotes
This model was first shown at the Nuremberg Toy Fair in 2011 and was on sale from May 2011. It is also available in a version with an enclosed cab.
