Description

RD18 Tandem Roller – Precision, Power, and Performance

The RD18 tandem roller is a compact yet powerful roller compactor designed for superior asphalt and soil compaction. Whether you’re working on road construction, parking lots, sidewalks, or driveways, this vibratory roller delivers exceptional results with its 3-point articulated joint, ensuring uniform compaction and a smooth surface. With a well-balanced design and one-sided drum lift with offset capability, the RD18 allows precise compaction up to curbs and walls, making it ideal for tight or confined areas.

Optimized for Asphalt & Soil Compaction

Built for professional-grade performance, the RD18 asphalt roller features large drum diameters and a high-frequency vibration system, ensuring efficient, even compaction. The ability to offset the drums allows for easy maneuvering around obstacles while maintaining consistent compaction coverage, reducing the need for additional passes and improving job site productivity.

Ergonomic & Operator-Friendly Design

Designed with operator comfort in mind, the RD18 provides a low-vibration work platform, reducing fatigue and increasing efficiency during long shifts. Its intuitive control layout allows effortless operation, while the 360° visibility improves safety on-site by minimizing blind spots. The compact frame offers a clear view of the drum edges, making it easier to maneuver around curbs, walls, and tight spaces.

Durability & Low Maintenance

The RD18 road roller is built for longevity, with a robust design and high-quality components that minimize wear and tear. The hydrostatic drive system ensures smooth acceleration and deceleration, reducing strain on the machine and extending its lifespan. Additionally, easy-access maintenance points help reduce downtime and keep your roller operating at peak efficiency.
