Equipment Overview
The BOMAG BW138 is an articulated tandem double drum roller built for asphalt and soil compaction, part of BOMAG’s AD-5 range of tandem rollers under 5 tonnes. It has an operating weight of 4,250 kg and a 1,380 mm drum width, suited to medium-sized paving jobs, car parks and road resurfacing work.
Power comes from a Kubota V2403 diesel engine producing 45.1 hp (33.6 kW) at 2,400 rpm. Drive runs through an oscillating, articulated joint, and the drums vibrate at 50 or 56 Hz with a static linear load of 86.2 lb/in for consistent density across the mat. A hydrostatic service brake pairs with a mechanical parking brake for controlled stops on grade.
