New JCB CT430-140 Joins Road Surfacing Fleet

North Herts Surfacing, a road surfacing specialist based in Royston, Hertfordshire, has taken delivery of the first JCB CT430-140 tandem vibratory roller. The new 4.5-tonne model, designed for robust and low-maintenance compaction, is now in operation on local authority highways maintenance projects in Essex and Hertfordshire.

The CT430-140 is powered by a Stage V diesel engine and delivers a centrifugal force of 44-63kN, with a vibrating frequency of 50-60Hz and a linear load of 16.1kg/cm. Its introduction expands JCB's sub-five-tonne tandem roller range and offers contractors a durable, easy-to-operate machine for rental and direct use on surfacing projects.

“We were looking at options to purchase a heavier roller than our existing JCB 260-120 roller and were offered the first 430-140. It gives us the option of a slightly bigger and heavier machine when we are on larger jobs and laying larger tonnages. We are very happy with the performance so far, and JCB rollers are pretty much maintenance-free.” said North Herts Surfacing Director, Leigh Candler.
