Key Features and Applications
Specialized Pneumatic Kneading Action
Using pneumatic tires to compact paving layers, the XP163 produces multidirectional displacement and a kneading effect through tire elasticity. This action forms an evenly dense, crack-resistant surface finish that extends the service life of high-grade asphalt pavements.
Adjustable Ground Pressure Performance
Ground contact pressure can be modified to suit varying material specifications by adjusting the machine counterweight (up to 3,600 kg) and altering the tire inflation pressure (ranging from 150 to 300 kPa or up to 400-650 kPa depending on configuration), optimizing compaction results across different soil and asphalt layers.
Front Wheel Swing Mechanism
When operating on rough or uneven roadways, the front wheel swing mechanism ensures even ground pressure distribution across all tires, preventing localized over-compaction and ensuring uniform layer density.
Drivetrain and Maneuverability
Fitted with a multi-gear transmission system, full hydraulic steering, and pneumatic-hydraulic braking, the roller delivers responsive mobility and flexible transit speeds between construction sites.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum operating weight of the XCMG XP163?
The maximum operating mass of the XP163 pneumatic tire roller is 16,000 kg, with a minimum working weight starting around 11,750 kg to 13,100 kg depending on ballast configurations.
What are the main applications for a pneumatic tire roller?
Pneumatic tire rollers are indispensable for compacting asphalt pavement surface courses, base layers, sub-base layers, and fill engineering. The elasticity and kneading effect of the tires create an evenly dense, crack-free surface.
How can the compaction ground pressure be adjusted?
Ground pressure can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the removable counterweight mass (up to 3,600 kg) and by modifying the inflation pressure of the tires.
What engine powers the XP163?
The machine is powered by a Shangchai SC4H115.4G2B diesel engine delivering 86 kW of rated power at 1,800 rpm.
