About Single Drum Smooth Drum Rollers

A single drum smooth roller, also known as a smooth drum compactor, is a ride-on compaction machine that features a large cylindrical drum. The drum is mounted to the front of the machine, while tyres at the rear provide stability. 

The design of a single drum roller makes it ideal for compaction scenarios where high-pressure impact is required. In particular, a single smooth drum roller is suited to projects where uneven surfaces need to be compacted.

A single smooth drum roller can be used to compact various loose materials, including soil, sand and gravel. This makes it an ideal machine for roadworks crews looking to compact road bases like asphalt, cement stabilised bases, subgrades and subbases; construction businesses forming foundations for buildings, bridges or other critical infrastructure; and landscapers preparing to lay top-level surfaces in hilly or uneven terrain.
