Choosing paving rollers for the job

Build your shortlist

Build the rolling package around the job

Select the roller type from the material and project requirements. Tandem-drum, combination and pneumatic-tire arrangements should be compared by their documented role and configuration. Working width must be considered alongside access, turning and the required process.

Prepare a useful comparison

Dimensions and configuration to check

  • Overall length, width and height
  • Compaction width
  • Drum diameter
  • Turning clearance
  • Curb clearance

Compare the same configuration, including attachments, folded parts, counterweights and stabilizers. Transport dimensions can differ substantially from the working setup.

Before comparing used machines

Inspect drum surfaces, water spray systems, vibration mounts and tire condition. Keep ballasted and unballasted weight records separate.
