Wacker Neuson Offers Extensive Line of Ride-On Rollers Wacker Neuson’s comprehensive compaction product line includes a large selection of tandem rollers for the compaction of sub-base materials and asphalt. Designed to increase productivity, while offering operator comfort, convenience and maneuverability, these rollers deliver quality compaction results in demanding conditions with sizes and features to fit large or small jobs, according to the manufacturer. With the large selection of models, contractors can easily choose the best roller for their application. The product range includes 10 tandem (doubledrum) rollers with either vibration drums or oscillation drums and five combination rollers for applications on uneven ground conditions and on steeper grades. The vibration drums are ideal for traditional compaction work such as sub base for a variety of applications and asphalt repair and finish layers. Rollers with an oscillation drum compact extremely efficiently, since the drums maintain permanent contact with the ground. These rollers are an excellent choice for urban areas with sound restrictions and vibration-sensitive areas such as on bridges, according to the manufacturer. The smallest model in Wacker Neuson’s new line is the RD18, 1.8-ton, which is available in two drum widths, 31.5 and 39.4 in. With the unilateral drum support, users have clear sided curb clearance that allows flush rolling on both sides and flush vibration close to walls or curbs.
