How has the demand for compaction equipment evolved in the Indian market over the past few years?
The market for compactors for the past 8-10 years had been around 2500 units per year. However, with the infrastructure development projects planned by the government in the roads and highway sector, this demand has considerably picked up and is currently around 4000 units per year.
What technological innovations has your company implemented in its compaction equipment to enhance performance and efficiency?
The Wirtgen Group Hamm compactors come with more than 125 years of experience in the development and manufacture of roller and compactors for soil and asphalt compaction. HAMM, the German manufacturer leading the field in compaction technology, is a member of the internationally successful WIRTGEN GROUP and a global leader in the market of road rollers with more than 180 years of compaction expertise. In India we offer the Hamm HC 119i soil compactor, HD 99i Asphalt compactors, which are produced at our Pune plant.
Hamm soil Compactors are built with patented design of three-point articulation joint. This connects the front and rear end of the compactor and enables excellent directional stability and provides driver safety on difficult terrains and also adds to driver’s comfort.
How do you stay updated on the latest technological trends in the industry?
With WITOS HCQ, HAMM has taken another leap forward, towards the digital construction site. Here, all process data that has been collected is transferred to the WITOS portal via the mobile network. Individual people who have been granted corresponding access rights, such as construction site managers, supervisory authorities or consultants, can then monitor the construction site in real time from any location using the WITOS portal, provided by the Wirtgen Group.
What measures does your company take to enhance customer satisfaction and address concerns?
“Close To Our Customers” has always been our policy. We offer direct service support to our customers and this together with our Application support is our main differentiator.
