Designed for both small-scale projects and tight workspaces, this roller combines power, manoeuvrability, and advanced vibration technology to deliver superior compaction results.

With an operating weight of 1,580 kg, the RD18-80 is a compact yet robust machine, ideal for road maintenance, footpaths, and car parks. 

Its articulated frame (A) ensures manoeuvrability, allowing operators to navigate around obstacles. 

The 800 mm wide drums (front and rear) provide even weight distribution, while the static drum weights of 765 kg (front) and 815 kg (rear) ensure consistent pressure for uniform compaction.

The RD18-80 features double drum drive and double drum vibration, delivering optimal compaction efficiency. 

With a nominal amplitude of 0.5 mm (high and low) and a variable frequency range of 52/65 Hz (max/min), this roller adapts to different materials, from fine asphalt to granular soils. 

The centrifugal force ranges from 16 kN (low amplitude) to 25 kN (high amplitude), ensuring deep compaction where needed.

Powered by a Kubota D1005 diesel engine, the RD18-80 delivers 14.8 kW (20 hp) at 2,200 rpm, providing ample power for demanding jobs. 

The 1.0L, 3-cylinder engine meets Tier 3 emissions standards, making it both fuel-efficient and environmentally compliant. 

A 70-litre water sprinkler tank keeps the drums clean, preventing material sticking and ensuring smooth operation.
