Frequently Asked Questions
The SSR120C-10 single drum roller price in the Philippines ranges from ₱6.8 million to ₱8.2 million for new units, depending on configuration options and optional equipment packages selected. This pricing represents 40-45% savings compared to premium European brands like Dynapac or Bomag while providing comparable performance specifications. Premier Heavy Equipment offers flexible financing options with down payments starting at 20% and terms extending up to 60 months for qualified contractors.
The SSR120C-10 excels in heavy-duty soil and base course compaction applications including highway embankment construction, base course preparation for expressways and arterial roads, airport runway and taxiway foundations, dam construction, industrial facility foundations, port development, and farm-to-market road construction. Its 12-ton operating weight provides optimal compactive force for deep soil layers up to 600mm thickness and thick aggregate base courses.
Single drum rollers like the SSR120C-10 provide distinct advantages over tandem drum designs for specific applications. The concentrated 12-ton weight on a single drum delivers superior compaction force for deep soil layers and thick base courses. Pneumatic rear tires provide excellent traction on steep grades and loose materials. However, tandem rollers excel for asphalt finishing operations requiring smooth surface texture. The optimal choice depends on primary application—single drums for base course and soil compaction, tandem drums for asphalt finishing.
The SSR120C-10 achieves fuel consumption between 11-16 liters per hour depending on compaction intensity, material characteristics, and operational conditions. The machine's Cummins QSB6.7 engine and advanced hydraulic systems provide 15-20% better fuel efficiency compared to older technology. The 280-liter fuel tank provides 18-25 hours of continuous operation between refueling.
Premier Heavy Equipment provides comprehensive warranty coverage for new SSR120C-10 units including 12-month or 2,000-hour basic warranty (whichever occurs first). Extended warranty packages offering up to 36 months or 6,000 hours are available. Service support includes nationwide coverage through facilities in Manila, Cebu, and Davao with factory-trained technicians. Mobile service units provide on-site repair capability at remote locations. 24/7 technical support hotline offers immediate assistance.
Yes, the SSR120C-10 is specifically designed for challenging terrain. The machine provides 30% maximum gradeability enabling operation on steep embankments and mountainous terrain. Heavy-duty pneumatic rear tires with aggressive tread patterns deliver excellent traction on loose materials and sloped surfaces. The oscillating rear axle maintains tire and drum ground contact on uneven surfaces. Articulated steering provides excellent maneuverability while maintaining stability.
Premier Heavy Equipment provides comprehensive operator training programs for SSR120C-10 operation. Training covers machine controls and operation, optimal compaction techniques for varying materials, preventive maintenance procedures, safety protocols, and troubleshooting. Certification courses typically span 3-5 days combining classroom instruction with hands-on experience. Many government projects specify certified operators as requirement for contractor qualification.
