This Ammann AV26-2 is a drum compactor — also commonly referred to as a roller or road roller — a type of compaction machine used to compress asphalt, gravel, and other surface materials during road construction and maintenance work. Ammann is a well-established Swiss manufacturer of compaction and paving equipment, supplying products to road-building, construction, and civil engineering industries worldwide.
This particular unit is a 2011 model offered in used condition from New South Wales, Australia, and is currently showing 1,500 hours on the meter. It is configured as a twin-drum machine, meaning it applies compactive force through two steel drums — one at each end — for consistent coverage across the full width of travel. Power comes from a 30 hp Yanmar diesel engine, a brand widely recognised in the industry for reliability and serviceability in compact machinery.
The roller is equipped with dual vibration, allowing both drums to generate vibratory compaction force simultaneously, which improves efficiency and compaction quality compared to single-vibration configurations. A sprinkler system is fitted to keep the drum surfaces wetted during asphalt work, preventing material from sticking to the drums. Safety provisions include E-stops (emergency stop controls) and vibration isolators, which reduce the transmission of machine vibration to the operator. The machine also features a ROPS frame, providing rollover protection in line with operator safety standards.
The listed price of $18,186 excludes GST.
