This Bomag BW191AD-5 is a used drum compactor — sometimes referred to as a road roller or asphalt roller — built for compacting asphalt surfaces on road construction and paving projects. Bomag is a well-established manufacturer of compaction and road-building equipment, supplying products to the construction, civil engineering, and infrastructure industries worldwide. This example was built in 2021 and is currently located in New York, USA, offered at $95,000.
Power comes from a 140 HP Deutz diesel engine, a brand widely regarded in the industry for its reliability and serviceability. The machine runs dual drums, each 78.7 inches wide, giving it a substantial compaction footprint well suited to large paving operations. Operating weight is 29,763 lbs, providing the mass needed for effective asphalt densification. Each drum is equipped with two scrapers, helping to keep the drum surfaces clean during operation and reducing material pickup.
Vibration is managed through both automatic vibration control and individual vibration control, allowing the operator to tailor compaction energy to the specific requirements of the asphalt layer being worked. A pressure sprinkler system with two pumps keeps the drums wetted to prevent asphalt from adhering to them during passes.
The operator environment is well specified. The driver's seat is slewable, offering 90 degrees of swivel and lateral sliding capability along with a repositionable steering wheel, allowing the operator to maintain a clear sightline to both drum edges — a practical advantage when working close to kerbs or edges. An Economizer is fitted, complete with a temperature gauge that measures the surface temperature of the asphalt, giving the operator real-time feedback to help determine when compaction passes should begin or end based on mat temperature.
For low-light and traffic-exposed work, the machine is equipped with road traffic lights and work lights fitted both front and rear. This 2021 Bomag BW191AD-5 drum compactor represents a relatively recent and comprehensively equipped unit for professional asphalt paving operations.
