Vibratory Rollers

A vibratory roller, also known as a road roller or compactor, is a machine used to compact materials like soil, gravel, asphalt, and sub-base layers.

It uses both weight and rapid vibrations to reduce air pockets and increase density in the surface below. The vibrating drum delivers high-frequency impact force, helping to achieve a solid, even compaction finish much faster than static rollers.

Vibratory rollers are essential for road construction, groundwork, and surfacing jobs where stable foundations and smooth finishes are required. BOMAG rollers are known for their advanced compaction technology and efficient performance across all terrains.

For asphalt and tarmac jobs, tandem vibratory rollers from BOMAG are the best choice. Models like the BOMAG BW 80 and BW 120 are designed with dual vibrating drums that deliver even pressure across the entire surface, ensuring a smooth and consistent finish.

These rollers are ideal for road surfacing, driveways, and patching work. BOMAG’s advanced vibration systems and intuitive controls also help reduce operator fatigue and maximise compaction efficiency.

Whether you're working on a small-scale repair or a full resurface, BTE Plant Sales can recommend the right BOMAG asphalt roller for your specific project.

The main difference lies in the number of vibrating drums and their applications. Single drum rollers have one large drum at the front and rear wheels for steering; they’re ideal for soil and sub-base compaction where deep, high-impact compaction is needed.

Tandem rollers, on the other hand, have two vibrating drums (front and rear) and are better suited for surfacing jobs like asphalt and tarmac. Tandem models offer better finish quality, smoother compaction, and consistent surface coverage. BOMAG manufactures both types, allowing you to choose the right machine depending on the type of material and the compaction depth required.

Yes, vibratory rollers are highly versatile and can be used on a wide variety of materials including soil, gravel, asphalt, and sub-base layers.

The key is selecting the right type of roller for your specific application. For soil and aggregates, a single drum roller is ideal as it delivers strong, deep compaction.

For surfacing with asphalt or tarmac, a tandem roller is more suitable because it provides an even, smooth finish. BOMAG rollers are engineered with advanced vibration settings, allowing operators to adjust compaction force depending on the material type and desired compaction depth.
