Abstract

A ground processing machine includes a rear carriage with an internal combustion engine, respectively at least one drive wheel to both sides of the internal combustion engine, a driver cabin arranged offset relative to the internal combustion engine in the longitudinal direction of the machine, a fuel tank for fuel to be supplied to the internal combustion engine, an additive substance tank, and a hydraulic fluid tank. The additive substance tank is arranged following a drive wheel in the longitudinal machine direction, and next to the drive wheel in a transversal machine direction.

Claims (17)

1. Ground compactor, comprising:

a rear carriage with an internal combustion engine,

respectively a drive wheel to both sides of the internal combustion engine,

a driver cabin arranged offset relative to the internal combustion engine in a longitudinal direction of the machine which is along a forward travel direction of the ground compactor,

a front carriage is connected with the rear carriage so as to be pivotable, wherein at the front carriage a floor processing roller can be rotated around a roller rotation axis extending in the transversal machine direction,

a fuel tank for fuel to be supplied to the internal combustion engine,

an additive substance tank,

a hydraulic fluid tank,

wherein the fuel tank is arranged next to the internal combustion engine in the longitudinal machine direction, and in a central region of the rear carriage in the transversal machine direction,

wherein the additive substance tank is arranged next to one of the drive wheels in the longitudinal machine direction, and overlapping to the one drive wheel in a transversal machine direction, and is arranged next to the fuel tank and not overlapping the fuel tank in the longitudinal machine direction,

wherein a fuel tank filler neck of the fuel tank is arranged with its length direction extending in the transversal machine direction at least in areas between the additive substance tank and the one drive wheel,

wherein the additive substance tank and the fuel tank are arranged overlapping at least in part in the longitudinal machine direction.

2. Ground compactor according to claim 1 , wherein the additive substance tank is arranged immediately adjacent the one drive wheel in the longitudinal machine direction.

3. Ground compactor according to claim 1 , wherein the additive substance tank is arranged between the one drive wheel and the hydraulic fluid tank in the longitudinal machine direction.

4. compactor according to claim 1 , wherein the additive substance tank and the hydraulic fluid tank are arranged next to one another in the longitudinal machine direction and overlapping each other in the transversal machine direction.

5. Ground compactor according to claim 1 , wherein the additive substance tank and/or the hydraulic fluid tank are arranged at least in areas below the driver cabin.

6. Ground compactor according to claim 1 , wherein a fill opening of the fuel tank and a fill opening of the additive substance tank and a fill opening of the hydraulic fluid tank are arranged following one another on the same side of the rear carriage in the longitudinal machine direction.
