Description

RD28: Precision Compaction with Power and Control

Built for Professional Results

The RD28 stands as a versatile solution for contractors who need reliable compaction on both asphalt and granular materials. Because it uses a three-point articulated pendulum joint, this asphalt roller distributes weight evenly and ensures stable travel on every pass. Whether the project involves paving roads, finishing parking lots, or compacting driveways, the RD28 delivers professional-grade performance with efficiency.

Efficiency Through Compact Design

Compact dimensions make the RD28 perfect for tight job sites where maneuverability is critical. Operators experience easy handling thanks to intuitive controls and an ergonomic work platform. In addition, reduced vibration improves comfort during long shifts, so productivity remains high. As a result, this roller compactor adapts to both confined urban spaces and larger open projects with equal success.

Operator-Centered Features

  • Intuitive graphical interface for clear machine monitoring
  • Low-vibration platform reduces fatigue during extended operation
  • Compact build enhances maneuverability in restricted areas

Superior Compaction Performance

The optimized drum design gives the RD28 the ability to compact evenly and efficiently. Because of its consistent pressure distribution, surfaces finish smooth and durable, reducing the need for rework. Furthermore, crab steering allows this vibratory roller to move easily along curbs and walls, providing precise compaction right up to the edges.

Performance Advantages

  • High drum clearance for precision along obstacles
  • Uniform weight distribution for consistent results
  • Crab steering enhances flexibility on job sites

Durable Construction for Long-Term Value

The RD28 is engineered to handle tough job site demands without compromising longevity. Its robust frame and powerful engine withstand heavy-duty use while minimizing maintenance needs. Contractors, municipalities, and rental fleets all benefit from the machine’s dependability. Because this road roller reduces downtime and operating costs, it becomes a cost-effective investment over time.
