Single Drum 18 Ton Hydraulic Vibratory Road Roller
The single drum 18 ton hydraulic vibratory road roller is a heavy soil compactor for road bases, dams and large earthworks. A steel drum at the front vibrates to pack the fill, and a hydraulic drive turns the rubber-tyred rear wheels. We make and export this Single Drum Hydraulic Rear Driven 18 Ton Vibratory Road Roller from China for single units, fleet orders and tender lots.
Why pick an 18 ton hydraulic vibratory road roller
At 18 ton, this machine sits in the middle of the heavy class. It has the mass to work thick lifts of clay, gravel and crushed stone. Yet it can still move from site to site on a low-bed trailer. Hydraulic rear drive gives smooth speed control. This helps the driver hold an even pace on each pass, so the lane gets an even density.
Vibration frequency and amplitude can usually be switched between two settings. High amplitude suits deep, coarse fill, while low amplitude suits thin layers and finer soil.
Typical build of this roller
The specification table below lists every field. Items marked as typical are normal for this type of roller, and we confirm them for your order at quotation:
- Mechanism: vibrating front steel drum, rubber-tyred rear drive
- Materials: steel drum shell, rubber drive tyres
- Drive: hydraulic, in the 18 ton size listed here, with other sizes on request
What buyers usually ask us to confirm
Contractors and importers usually ask us three things before they buy: the engine type for their market, whether they need a padfoot kit for sticky clay, and the cab type. We confirm each of these in writing, along with the Incoterm and destination port, before production starts.
If you want adjustable settings across more weights, compare the 18 to 26 ton single drum roller with frequency and amplitude modulation, or browse our full range of construction machinery and equipment. For asphalt finishing, a double drum static road roller is often the better tool.
