This Bomag BW278AD is a used drum compactor — sometimes referred to as a roller or vibratory roller — a type of road construction and soil compaction equipment used to compress asphalt, aggregate, and granular materials on road surfaces and work sites. Bomag is a well-established manufacturer of compaction and road-building machinery, supplying equipment to the construction, road paving, and civil engineering industries worldwide.
According to the seller, this machine is configured as a double drum unit fitted with smooth drums and a vibratory system. The double drum arrangement means compaction is applied simultaneously at both the front and rear of the machine, making it well suited to asphalt paving work where consistent coverage across the full pass is important. The smooth drums produce a flat, even surface finish on the material being compacted, as opposed to a padfoot or sheepsfoot configuration used for soil work. The vibratory capability allows the operator to engage mechanical vibration within the drums, increasing compaction force beyond the static weight of the machine and allowing effective densification of deeper material layers.
This machine was manufactured in 2014 and is offered in used condition, currently located in Vermont, USA, and priced at $25,000.
