About · Ammann ARX26Overview
The Ammann ARX26 is a tandem vibratory roller in the light compaction segment, with an operating weight of 2515 kg and an engine output of 34 hp. It belongs to a class of ride-on compactors designed to deliver consistent compaction performance in a compact and maneuverable format. The machine is manufactured by Ammann, a specialist in road construction and compaction equipment.
Typical applicationsWhere this machine is used
Tandem rollers of this weight and power class are suited to asphalt compaction on roads, parking areas, cycle paths, and other surface paving projects. Their size makes them well-suited to confined work sites and secondary road maintenance where larger rollers would be impractical. They are also used for base-layer compaction on smaller civil engineering and municipal infrastructure projects.
Used-market inspectionWhat to check before buying
When inspecting a used tandem roller of this class, examine the condition of both drum shells for dents, flat spots, and surface cracks, as drum damage directly affects compaction quality and is costly to rectify. Check the vibration system for smooth, consistent operation on both drums, and listen for bearing noise during a live test. Inspect water sprinkler systems for blockages or corrosion, review hydraulic hoses and fittings for leaks, and verify that scrapers are serviceable. Service history and documentation of regular maintenance intervals are important indicators of overall machine care.
Current marketPrice position
In the European used-equipment market, the ARX26 carries an average asking price of EUR 17206, with a typical price range spanning EUR 12880 to EUR 23600 depending on age, condition, and hours. Direct competitors in the same segment include the Wacker Neuson RD27 and the Hamm HD10, both of which are evaluated by buyers in the same procurement process. Buyers comparing these models should assess how individual machine condition and configuration justify positioning within or outside the stated range.
