This Bomag BW278AD is a used drum compactor — sometimes referred to as a road roller — built for compacting asphalt and granular materials across road construction and pavement rehabilitation applications. Bomag is a globally recognised manufacturer of compaction equipment, supplying machines for road building, earthworks, and large-scale infrastructure projects worldwide.
This 2011 machine is located in Texas, USA, and is offered at $40,000. It has accumulated 6,120 hours of use and has received new paint and decals.
Power comes from a Cummins QSB 4.5-litre four-cylinder engine rated at 130 horsepower. The machine features an EcoMode system, which modulates engine output to match demand and reduce fuel consumption during lighter work cycles. Drive is delivered through a hydrostatic traction system, giving the operator smooth, stepless speed control in both forward and reverse. Steering and operation are managed via a joystick control setup, and the machine is built around an articulated frame, allowing it to manoeuvre efficiently on confined jobsites and follow road curves closely.
The compactor runs a double smooth drum configuration with a drum width of 78 inches, making it well suited to wide asphalt passes. Operating weight is 25,800 pounds, contributing substantial static compaction force. The water system, used to prevent asphalt from sticking to the drums during rolling, holds 318 gallons, supporting extended operation between refills. Fuel capacity is 50 gallons. The operator station is open with a ROPS frame for rollover protection.
