Walk-Behind and Ride-On Rollers

Small double-drum rollers from roughly 500 kg to 1 600 kg for footpaths, cycleways, car parks and trench reinstatement. They bridge the gap between a plate and a full tandem roller.

Features

  • Drum widths of about 600 to 900 mm suit footways and reinstatement bays without an edge overlap problem.
  • Water sprinkler systems with filtered tanks keep asphalt from sticking to the drums; sprinkler bar blockages are the usual fault.
  • Articulated or pivot-steer frames let the rear drum track the front exactly, which prevents surface tearing.
  • Presence controls and a dead-man arrangement on walk-behind versions are a working requirement rather than an option.
  • Edge cutters and chamfer discs finish a joint properly instead of leaving it to be sealed later.
