What Is a Double Drum Roller Used For?

A double drum roller, also called a tandem roller, has two smooth steel drums, one at the front and one at the rear. Both drums compact the surface, so you get even coverage in fewer passes and a clean, flat finish with no tyre marks.

The combination of 20kN exciting force and 70Hz frequency on a light 800kg frame suits thin asphalt lifts, crusher dust, sand and fine road base, where fast, light impacts give a tight surface without shoving the material.

Typical jobs include:

• Asphalt patching and pothole repairs
• Residential driveways, paths and courtyards
• Paver bedding, crusher dust and landscaping bases
• Trench reinstatement after plumbing, electrical or NBN work
• Tennis courts, sports surfaces and playground bases
• Council and facility maintenance crews

Why Choose a Compact Double Drum Roller Over a Plate Compactor?

Plate compactors are handy, but on larger areas they are slow and tiring to use. A compact double drum roller covers more ground per pass, leaves a smoother, more even finish on asphalt, and is far less tiring for the operator over a full day.

Owning your own roller also removes hire costs and lets you compact when the job is ready, not when a hire unit is available. At this clearance price, regular paving and asphalt work can pay the machine off quickly.

Easy to Transport and Work in Tight Spaces

At just 800kg, the SRD800 can usually be moved on a small plant trailer behind a ute, so getting between residential and commercial jobs is quick and inexpensive. Always check your vehicle’s towing capacity and trailer rating before transport.

Its small footprint lets you work along kerbs, walls and fences, through side gates and into backyards where bigger equipment simply can’t fit.

Danfoss Hydraulic Drive

The Danfoss hydraulic motor delivers smooth drive and good control at slow working speeds. That matters when you are rolling fresh asphalt and need to avoid marking the mat, and it helps produce a consistent finish from job to job.
