This Bomag BW138AD-5 is a used drum compactor — sometimes referred to as a vibratory roller — built for compacting asphalt and granular materials on road construction and paving projects. Bomag is a well-established manufacturer of compaction and road-building equipment, supplying machines to civil engineering, road paving, and ground preparation industries worldwide.
The machine is configured as a double-drum unit with a 54-inch drum width, giving it broad compaction coverage across a pass. Power comes from a 45 HP engine driving a hydrostatic transmission, which provides smooth, stepless speed control in both travel and manoeuvring. Vibration is also hydrostatically driven and is governed by an intelligent vibration control system, which automatically adjusts vibration output to suit ground conditions and help avoid over-compaction.
The operator station is an open ROPS design with a hinged frame for ease of access and service. The seat slides and is paired with dual travel levers, complemented by a multi-function travel lever that consolidates machine controls for straightforward operation. Working lights are fitted at both the front and rear, making the machine suitable for use in low-light conditions.
Each drum is served by two scrapers, helping to keep the drum surfaces clear of material pickup during operation. A sprinkler system is also fitted to prevent asphalt from adhering to the drums. Operating weight is 9,370 lb. This 2023 machine is located in South Dakota, USA, and is offered at $82,220.
