Description
The RD18 articulated ride-on rollers offer a large drum diameter combined with the low machine center of gravity to ensure excellent compaction quality. The three-point articulated joint offers constant surface contact for better results, safety and a smoother ride. Unilateral drum support allows for up to the edge compaction on both sides.
UPDATE – These would ship direct from the mfg and have extensive lead times, we do as of this writing have the below 3T roller coming available any day now:

Excellent compaction performance right up to the edge: With the unilateral drum support, you have curb clearance that allows flush rolling on both sides and you can move the roller directly up to walls or curbs. Re-compaction is not required. Only available for the models RD18-100 and RD18-100C. | Uniform compaction, optimal driving stability: The three-point articulated pendulum joint ensures a uniform weight distribution on the front and rear drum at all times. This also improves the maneuverability and provides for maximum tipping safety and stability when turning curves. |
![]() | Tandem-axle rollerFront and rear with vibration drums. The vibration drum optimally brings the material to be compacted into oscillation with quick successive vertical forces. The built-in eccentric weight provides for a fast rotation and you get an excellent compaction performance. Suitable for: |
![]() | Combination rollerVibration drum in the front, tires in the rear. Even with the combination rollers, the forces are directed vertically downwards The advantage over tandem-axle rollers are the tires. That is why combination rollers always have very good traction on gradients. Suitable for: |
![]() | Optimal viewEverything is perfectly within view: With the specially designed, tapered design of the roller, you always have an excellent view of the drum edges, the machine environment and the job site. |
