Tandem vibratory roller (or a road roller) is a construction related heavy machine used mainly in making roads and parking lots. Tandem vibratory roller is fitted with two large and heavy drum like steel structures fitted onto a chassis, driven by an engine.
Most tandem rollers today use diesel as fuel, however there are some small and compact vibratory rollers that use gasoline as fuel. In the olden days, the road rollers are driven by steam engines, which is why the rollers are still being called by the name ‘steamrollers’ even for today.
Tandem vibratory rollers have a vibratory unit onboard, which lacks in the ordinary heavy weight road rollers. The vibratory unit helps in setting up the asphalt, and compacting the road-top. The machine needs a highly skilled operator, without which the road thickness will be uneven or may have spots or bumps.
The vibratory rollers are equipped with a threaded bung to add water, which increases their weight further. Rollers are equipped with a water sprinkling system that prevents the asphalt from sticking to the roller drums.
Should you buy used tandem vibratory roller or new?
This is no hard decision to make! While in most cases it is ideal to buy used tandem rollers, sometimes buying a new one will have an advantage based on your long term needs. Buying a used roller always means less investment, and more flexibility in terms of capital and cash reserves. Heavy equipment such as vibratory rollers sees more flow in the used market than the new.
