Beton Trowel 28 Inch Walk Behind Roller | Double Drum Diesel Series
Professional Asphalt and Soil Compaction
When you are laying a new driveway or patching a municipal road, the finish quality depends entirely on your roller. The Beton Trowel 28 inch Walk Behind Roller features dual smooth steel drums with beveled edges designed to make your finish is top quality. This might seem like a small detail, but on hot asphalt, those beveled edges prevent the roller from cutting sharp lines into the mat when you steer, leaving a seamless, professional finish that keeps clients happy.
Under the hood, this machine is powered by a Yanmar L100 diesel engine. Beton Trowel chose this powerplant because it offers the high torque needed to drive the hydraulic system and the eccentric weights simultaneously without bogging down. The electric start makes firing it up easy, even on cold mornings, while the diesel fuel compatibility allows you to refill from the same transfer tank you use for your excavators and loaders.
Unlike cheaper rollers that rely on chains and sprockets that stretch and break, this unit utilizes a hydraulic drive system. This provides variable speed control up to 196 feet per minute, giving the operator smooth, predictable acceleration. The hydraulic system also reduces downtime, as there are no chains to grease or tension, allowing you to keep the machine working rather than fixing it.
Compaction performance is where this machine truly stands out. Generating over 16,000 lbs of centrifugal force, the Beton Trowel Walk Behind Roller hits harder than many larger ride-on units. This immense power allows you to achieve proper density on granular sub-bases quickly, creating a solid foundation that won't sink or shift over time.
For asphalt work, water management is key. This roller comes equipped with a large 9.2-gallon water tank and a distribution system that keeps the drums consistently wet. This prevents hot asphalt from sticking to the steel drums and tearing up your fresh mat. The tank is integrated into the frame to maintain a low center of gravity, aiding stability.
Safety on inclined surfaces is handled by a mechanical parking brake. This feature allows you to park the machine securely on slopes up to a 30% gradient without it rolling away. Whether you are working on a steep driveway or loading the unit onto a trailer, the Beton Trowel Walk Behind Roller gives you the control and stability you need to work safely.
Why Choose The Beton Trowel 28 Inch Vibratory Roller?
Beveled Drum Edges
The drums are finished with beveled edges rather than sharp 90-degree corners, which eliminates the risk of marking or cutting into hot asphalt mats during operation.
Hydraulic Drive System
Replaces high-maintenance chain drives with a robust hydraulic transmission, providing variable speed control and significantly reducing service intervals.
16,374 lbs of Force
Delivers a massive 16,374 lbs of centrifugal force, providing deep compaction on soil and professional density on asphalt that lightweight rollers cannot match.
Yanmar L100 Diesel Engine
Powered by the industrial-grade Yanmar L100, offering electric start reliability and the convenience of single-fuel logistics for diesel-equipped fleets.
Onboard Water System
Includes a 9.2-gallon water tank with a distribution system to keep the drums lubricated, preventing asphalt pick-up and ensuring a smooth surface finish.
Slope Capability
Engineered with a low center of gravity and a mechanical parking brake, allowing for safe operation and parking on inclines up to a 30% gradient.
Vibration Absorption
The handle and engine mounts utilize heavy-duty rubber shock absorbers to isolate SAS vibration, reducing operator fatigue during long shifts.
