This Bomag BW190AD-5 is a used drum compactor — sometimes called a road roller — built for compacting asphalt and soil on road construction and civil engineering projects. Bomag is a well-established manufacturer of compaction and road-building equipment, supplying machines to contractors and infrastructure projects worldwide.
The machine is configured as a double drum compactor, with vibratory action on both drums to deliver dynamic compaction force through the full width of the machine. The drums measure 78 inches wide, providing a generous compaction path suited to road paving and large-area earthwork applications. Operating weight is 12 tons, which places this machine firmly in the heavy compaction class, capable of handling demanding base course and asphalt mat work.
Drum drive is fitted, meaning the drums themselves are powered for traction, improving performance on grades and in difficult underfoot conditions. The vibratory system delivers the high-frequency impact energy that distinguishes a vibratory roller from a static machine, allowing effective compaction to be achieved in fewer passes. A water system is also included, used to wet the drum surfaces during asphalt work to prevent the material from sticking.
Operator protection is provided by a four-post open ROPS frame, giving rollover protection while keeping the cab area open to airflow. The unit was manufactured in 2014 and is described by the seller as being in very good condition. It is currently located in Michigan, USA, and is offered at $36,000.
