Letter from the Director

Welcome and thank you, to our loyal customers. If you've arrived at this page, you're likely looking for sales, service or support for your Wacker Neuson equipment.

In recent years, like many businesses, we have faced significant challenges both economically and industry specific. Unfortunately, we've also found ourselves navigating significant issues in our partnership with Wacker Neuson. Despite our best efforts to maintain a collaborative and professional relationship, we found ourselves repeatedly addressing issues that undermined the trust and transparency essential to any successful business partnership.

Warranty claims were often disregarded or rejected without sufficient explanation, leaving our customers without the support they deserved. Often, we bore the cost of these repairs not out of just a sense of decency alone, but legal necessity. Our attempts to secure fair and timely resolutions were met with resistance, impacting our ability to provide the seamless aftersales service that is central to our values.

Compounding these challenges was the erratic and unreliable supply of spare parts. Essential components were either delayed or incorrect and outright denied for return due to alleged system failures or shifting policies. This not only affected our operational efficiency but also the trust we had worked so hard to build with our customers.

Unfortunately, these issues were exacerbated by the conduct of Wacker Neuson’s senior management. Instead of fostering a relationship built on integrity and mutual respect, we experienced behavior that prioritized self-interest over fair dealing. Attempts to address these concerns were met with evasiveness, preferential treatment of other dealers, and a clear disregard for ethical business practices.

These actions have cost our business and our customers significantly. We have absorbed the costs associated with delivering proper and fair service and support to our customers for as long as we possibly could, with an unrealistic optimism that we could convince our partner to deliver acceptable and legally required levels of support.

As a result, Jacksons has made the decision to cease supplying Wacker Neuson equipment, parts and support. This choice was not made lightly but reflects our unwavering commitment to upholding the values that have defined us: integrity, transparency, and a customer-first approach.

I feel so strongly that the behaviour of Wacker Neuson Australia constitutes direct and blatant breaches of Australian Consumer Law, and the Corporations Act, that I have referred their actions to the ACCC and other regulatory authorities for review.

Moving forward, we are focused on forging partnerships with suppliers who share our vision for excellence and fairness. Our customers can continue to rely on Jacksons for industry-leading solutions, professional service, and an unwavering commitment to their success.

To our customers; I'm sorry. When I say we put every resource available to us into supporting you, I am understating the effort that my staff and I put into trying to secure the best possible outcome for you.

Thank you for your continued support and trust. Together, we will navigate challenges, seize opportunities, and build a stronger future for all.

Sincerely,
Ben Jackson
Director

Crab steering	Articulated pendulum joint

The drum offset allows for easy maneuvering when compacting along walls. In crab steering, the roller can be conveniently controlled in any desired direction.	Uniform compaction, optimal driving stability: The three-point articulated pendulum joint ensures a uniform weight distribution on the front and rear drum at all times. This also improves the maneuverability and provides for maximum stability when turning curves.

Vibrating drum	Oscillating drum

Ideal for all traditional compaction work. The vibrating drum optimally oscillates the material to be compacted with quick successive vertical forces. The built-in eccentric weight provides for a fast rotation and an excellent compaction performance.	Flawlessly compacts even asphalt at low temperatures. Perfectly suited for the compaction of seams (hot to cold). Trouble-free operation on bridges. Rollers with an oscillating drum compact with a high efficiency, since the drums maintain permanent contact with the ground. With its two synchronous rotating eccentric weights, the drum uses forward and reverse movements to direct its entire compaction force into the ground.

	Optimal view Everything is perfectly within view: With the specially designed, tapered design of the roller, you always have an excellent view of the drum edges, the machine environment and the job site.

Service network We are always there for you: Thanks to our close-knit service network, you can always rely on our quick support.	First-class compaction performance Regardless of which of our models you choose – one thing is certain: You will be impressed with the compaction performance of our rollers. Guaranteed!
Finely tiered model selection Different tonnages and a diverse selection of tandem-axle rollers with vibration and oscillating drums as well as combination rollers: Choose exactly the model that you need for your project.	Built-in user comfort All of the Wacker Neuson models can be easily operated for particularly pleasant work.

iF Design Award 2016
The tandem roller series RD won the iF Design Award 2016 in the product category. The RD series convinced above all by the clearly structured operating elements and the intuitive handling, which is supported by the design.
