Ballast Compartments
Ballast compartments are positioned with
a calculated balance of wheel to weight
ratio. Internal-frame baffles help prevent
surges when water ballasted.
Sand and steel ballast can be added
through lar
ge cover plates on the
operation deck and water can be added
through a fill port. When adding water, it
is recommended that only the primary
ballast chamber be used because it is
sealed.
Sand and steel ballast can be removed
through a bolt-on side cover and water
ballast can be emptied through a drain
port.
Ballast Considerations and Ground Contact Pressures
The most common method of changing
ground contact pressure is to vary the
tire pressure. Another means to change
ground contact pressure is to alter the
ballast. The PS150C can be ballasted
with sand, water, steel or a combination
of each. These three components provide
varying weight capacities, allowing the

of the tank level or when working on
grades.
12-Ply or 14-Ply Tires with higher
tire pressures and increased ground
contact pressure provide greater
compactive effort.
Radial Tires (7.50 x 15) ensure a
flat contact area, regardless of the tire
load or inflation pressure.
Heat Retention Shields (Tire
Skirts) trap heat and help prevent
asphalt from adhering to the tire
surfaces.
