The size and weight of single drum rollers varies depending on individual make and model specifications, as well as their intended purpose. Smaller, hand-operated drums can weigh as little as 100 pounds, while heavy-duty ride-on rollers can weigh up to 22 tons. All our single-drum rollers are of the ride-on variety and typically weigh from 10,000 to 45,000 pounds.
Double drum rollers offer more heavy-duty compaction, capable of quickly and thoroughly compacting large areas. Ideal for highway construction, double drum rollers have vibrating drums in the front and back of the roller. Single drum rollers feature a single, large drum in front and wheels in the back, better suited for projects that require mobility and maneuverability. They are ideal for projects like compacting driveways, building foundations and paving paths.
