Double Drum Rollers

A double drum roller is a type of road compactor that has two steel drums, one at the front and one at the rear end, and is usually smooth or pad-footed based on the material that needs to be compacted. These rollers provide full-width compaction that maximises efficiency and performance in both asphalt, soil, and granular materials. The twin drum configuration allows for maximum pressure and even compaction, so they are ideal for road construction, parking lots, and large paving jobs. Double drum rollers can use for base compaction and surface finishing.
