    Overview Summary

    The JCB VMT330 Mini Tandem Roller Compactor is known for its zero-maintenance design and suitability for both urban and rural compaction with a high gradeability and larger water tank. The L&T 491 Mini Tandem Roller Compactor boasts a more powerful engine and higher speed capabilities, with excellent drum visibility and larger engine displacement.

    JCB VMT330 Mini Tandem Roller Compactor

    Pros:

    • Zero-maintenance vibratory roller design
    • User-friendly operation
    • Efficient for urban and rural compaction work
    • High-gradeability of 30%
    • Larger water tank capacity of 210 L
    • Slightly lower maximum operating weight for reduced ground pressure

    Cons:

    • Less engine power compared to L&T 491 (45 HP vs. 48.5 HP)
    • Lower travel and working speed (0-5 km/hr)
    • Smaller displacement (2.7 L vs. 2.9 L)
    • Smaller fuel tank (100 L vs. 55 L)
    • Fewer service points for maintenance

    L&T 491 Mini Tandem Roller Compactor

    Pros:

    • Higher engine power (48.5 HP)
    • Higher torque value (185 Nm@1200-1500rpm)
    • Higher max travel and working speed (0-12 km/hr and 0-6 km/hr, respectively)
    • Better drum-edge visibility and service access
    • Larger engine displacement (2.9 L)

    Cons:

    • Less water tank capacity (170 L vs. 210 L)
    • Lower gradeability (27% vs. 30%)
    • Higher max operating weight which may result in higher ground pressure

    Pros:

    Cons:

    Closing Recommendation

    For projects requiring higher engine power and speed, with excellent serviceability, the L&T 491 is a strong contender. However, the JCB VMT330 should be considered for its efficient operation and higher gradeability, making it a versatile option for various compaction requirements.
