Groundbreaking Precision & Productivity

INTELLICOMPACTION System: Provides live compaction data through the in-cab display, highlighting hard and soft spots to help operators achieve consistent results while reducing unnecessary passes and avoiding over or under-compaction.

Power & Performance: The 97kW Stage V JCB DIESELMAX 448 engine delivers strong tractive power, up to 20% better fuel efficiency than other leading manufacturers, and gradeability of up to 55%. With 292kN compaction force, four working modes and a reinforced drum design, the VM138D is built for efficient, durable performance.
