It is a 10.5-tonne pneumatic roller with a two-speed, and maintenance free, hydrostatic transmission mated to a 97.6 hp (99 bhp) engine running on four wide front and rear tyres overlapped by 50 mm to provide a fullwidth coverage. It has a pressurised, rust-proof 550-litre Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) water system that provides an adjustable flow rate to meet the operator needs and to help eliminate material build-up on the tyre surface. It also aids in maintaining mat surface temperature and reducing water refills.

Tyre contact can be optimised by the adjusted tyre pressure, managed from the central point. It helps achieve target compaction in fewer passes.
