Description

Tandem Roller

Compact Compaction with Professional Results

The tandem roller series from Multiquip is designed for contractors who demand precise control and dependable power in areas where space is limited. Built to balance maneuverability with compaction force, these machines provide the performance of larger units in a compact format. From utility cuts to sidewalks and parking lots, the tandem roller ensures smooth, even surfaces with fewer passes and less effort.

Built for Tight Jobsite Conditions

With hydrostatic drive systems, the Multiquip tandem roller delivers reliable forward and reverse travel at infinitely variable speeds. Operators can adjust easily for precise positioning. This makes it especially effective when compacting around curbs or edges. The dual-drum design guarantees uniform compaction. This happens across the entire working width, while travel speeds up to 2 mph help crews complete jobs quickly. Whether used for fresh mix or prep work, the tandem roller stands out as a trusted asphalt roller in demanding jobsite conditions.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Dual-Drum Hydrostatic Drive – Smooth, reliable performance with precise control.
  • High-Output Vibration System – Powerful centrifugal force maximizes soil and asphalt compaction.
  • Integrated Water System – Rust-free tank and dual spray bars prevent hot mix buildup.
  • Operator-Centric Design – Foldable handles, vibration isolation, and safety controls reduce fatigue.

Versatile Applications Across Jobsites

Multiquip’s tandem roller excels in applications where larger machines are impractical. Its size and performance make it a reliable choice for:

  • Pothole patching and small asphalt overlays
  • Driveway and sidewalk installation
  • Soil compaction and granular base preparation
  • Utility and trench repairs where precision is critical

As a compact walk behind compactor, it handles both soil and asphalt with ease. Contractors also appreciate its performance as a nimble blacktop roller, especially on projects requiring consistent density in tight spaces.

Why Choose the Multiquip Tandem Roller?

Professionals rely on the Multiquip tandem roller because it delivers consistent results while remaining portable and simple to maintain. Compared with larger rollers, it is easier to transport and set up, yet still provides the impact force needed for durable finishes. Contractors also find it to be the perfect supplement or replacement for a full-size blacktop roller, making it one of the most versatile pieces of compaction equipment available.

A Smarter Compaction Solution

Whether used as a dependable asphalt roller or a rugged walk behind compactor, the Multiquip tandem roller raises productivity and quality on every job. Its combination of portability, power, and precision proves why crews across construction and paving industries continue to add this machine to their fleets.
