RD18: Compact Power for Asphalt and Soil Compaction

Built for Precision and Performance

The RD18 is a compact tandem roller engineered for contractors who demand precision and power on every job. Because it uses a three-point articulated joint, this asphalt roller ensures uniform compaction and stability across a variety of surfaces. From parking lots to sidewalks and even driveways, the RD18 consistently delivers smooth, professional finishes that stand the test of time.

Optimized Compaction Technology

The RD18 combines large drum diameters with a high-frequency vibration system, so operators achieve maximum density with fewer passes. In addition, the drum offset function allows the machine to compact directly along walls and curbs without sacrificing coverage. As a result, this roller compactor improves job site productivity while reducing costs.

Performance Highlights

High-frequency vibration system for efficient compaction
Large drum diameters create uniform coverage
Drum offset capability for seamless edge compaction

Operator Comfort and Control

Comfort and visibility remain top priorities with the RD18. Its ergonomic platform reduces vibration exposure, helping operators stay productive through long shifts. Furthermore, intuitive controls simplify operation, while 360° visibility ensures safety and precision on busy job sites. Because the compact frame offers a clear view of drum edges, this vibratory roller makes it easier to work in confined areas.

Operator Advantages

Ergonomic platform for reduced fatigue
Intuitive controls for straightforward operation
Full visibility for enhanced job site safety

Durability for Long-Term Use

The RD18 is designed with a robust frame and high-quality components, making it a reliable choice for demanding projects. Its hydrostatic drive system provides smooth transitions during acceleration and braking, protecting both the operator and the machine. Additionally, easy-access maintenance points reduce downtime, so this road roller stays on the job longer with minimal interruptions.

Durability Benefits

Strong frame designed for extended service life
Hydrostatic drive ensures smooth and efficient performance
Easy-access service points minimize downtime

Why Choose the RD18?

Exceptional compaction for asphalt and soil applications
Drum offset feature for precision along edges
