This Bomag BW120AD-5 is a drum compactor — sometimes called a roller or vibratory roller — a self-propelled machine used to compact soil, gravel, asphalt, and other base materials on road construction and civil engineering projects. Bomag is a well-established German manufacturer recognised globally for its compaction and road-building equipment, supplying contractors across infrastructure, municipal, and commercial construction sectors.
The machine is configured as a double drum compactor, meaning both the front and rear drums actively engage the surface, providing compaction across the full width of the machine on every pass. The drums are smooth-faced, making this unit suited to asphalt finishing and granular subbase work where a clean, even surface profile is required. The compaction width is 47 inches, and operating weight is recorded at 6,063 pounds, putting this in the light to mid-range class well suited to confined sites, car parks, footpaths, and utility trenching as well as general pavement work. Power is provided by a 25 hp engine.
The machine is equipped with a vibration control system, which allows the operator to engage or adjust vibratory compaction force — a key feature for matching compaction output to material type and lift depth without over-compacting sensitive layers. A water system is fitted to the drums, which wets the drum surfaces during asphalt work to prevent material from adhering and ensure a clean rolling contact.
The operator station is an OROPS — an open roll-over protective structure — providing the structural safety frame required on modern compaction equipment while keeping the machine compact and visibility unobstructed.
This is a 2023 model in used condition, located in South Dakota, USA, and is listed at $66,750.
