Road Roller

Road rollers for sale — new XCMG single-drum, tandem and pneumatic rollers

We hold 48 road roller models in stock, all new XCMG units, covering the full compaction chain: single-drum soil rollers, tandem double-drum rollers for asphalt, pneumatic-tire rollers for finish work, and backfill compactors for trench reinstatement. Operating weights run from small 1.7 t machines for footpaths and repair work up to the 36.5 t class for major earthworks.

Choosing between them comes down to what you are compacting. Granular subbase and fill want a heavy single-drum roller with high amplitude. Asphalt wants a tandem roller with dual frequencies and a working spray bar, so you can take break-down passes and finish cleanly. Pneumatic rollers are the final step on wearing courses, where the kneading action closes and seals the surface.

What to compare before you buy

• Operating weight and drum width. Weight drives compaction energy; width sets how many passes you need. A wider drum covers more per pass but is harder to work in tight areas.
• Static or vibratory, and amplitude settings. Adjustable amplitude lets one machine handle both thick lifts and thin finish layers.
• Drum type. Smooth drum for granular material, padfoot for cohesive soils, pneumatic tyres for asphalt finishing.
• Number of drums and drive configuration. Tandem rollers compact asphalt; single-drum machines handle soil. Decide by material first, machine second.
• Water tank and spray system. Critical on asphalt work. An undersized or blocked spray bar means pick-up and a ruined mat.

New units ship with their factory documentation. Send Patrick your material type and required compaction depth and we will shortlist the right drum configuration.

Frequently asked questions

Which roller should I use for asphalt?

Tandem double-drum rollers with water spray are the standard choice: they give you break-down, intermediate and finish passes from the same machine. Add a pneumatic roller for the final pass on wearing courses where you need a tight, sealed surface.

What drum width do I need?

Match the drum to the width of your paving train. Too narrow and you need extra passes; too wide and you cannot work around drains, kerbs and manholes. Most contractors keep one wide machine for main runs and a smaller one for edges and reinstatement.

Do the new XCMG rollers ship with a warranty?

New units ship with their factory documentation and warranty guidance. Tell us your market and we will confirm the applicable terms with the manufacturer before you commit.

Can you supply a roller with a padfoot drum?

Padfoot shell kits and dedicated padfoot machines exist in the range. Send us the soil type you are compacting and we will confirm which units in stock suit cohesive fill.
