HONDA SINGLE DRUM ROLLER
SINGLE DRUM WALK BEHIND ROLLER
Commercial 300 kg Class Walk-Behind Single-Drum Vibratory Roller (Honda GX160 Powered)
Description
This 300 kg Class Walk-Behind Single-Drum Roller is a compact, highly agile, and ultra-portable petrol compaction unit. It is specifically engineered for asphalt patch restorations, sidewalk installations, trench bedding, sports court leveling, and landscaping applications where larger twin-drum rollers cannot physically fit or navigate.
Driven by an exceptionally reliable 5.5 hp Honda GX160 four-stroke engine, this roller is highly coveted by rental clients because it starts effortlessly on the first pull, delivers quiet operation, and boasts low emission characteristics. The machine utilizes a fully enclosed, maintenance-free hydrostatic travel transmission that provides infinitely variable speed adjustments in both forward and reverse, eliminating the constant chain or belt slippage common on lower-grade models.
Its design features a beveled-edge steel drum to ensure a flawless mat finish without leaving sharp gouge marks on hot-mix asphalt. Additionally, a built-in high-capacity corrosion-resistant water storage tank feeds a pressurized gravity sprinkler line, ensuring the drum stays perfectly wet to prevent asphalt stick-up. With zero lateral overhang on one side, operators can roll tightly up against curbs, concrete foundations, and retaining walls with absolute precision.
