Road Roller Types and Applications
Road rollers compact materials by applying weight, vibration, or kneading action — the right type depends on the material being compacted and the required density. Understanding roller types helps match the machine to the financing tier.
Double drum tandem rollers have steel drums at both front and rear, making them ideal for asphalt compaction during road paving. They provide uniform compaction across the full machine width. Small tandem rollers ($50,000–$100,000) are used for driveways, parking lots, and smaller paving projects. Large tandem rollers ($100,000–$200,000) are the workhorses of highway paving crews.
Single drum vibratory rollers have a large steel drum at the front and pneumatic tires at the rear. They apply heavy compaction force through vibration, making them ideal for soil, gravel, and aggregate base compaction. These range from $80,000 for compact models to $300,000+ for large soil compactors used on highway embankments and dam construction.
Pneumatic tire rollers (rubber tire rollers) use multiple rows of rubber tires to provide kneading compaction action, ideal for finish rolling on asphalt and for granular base material. Prices range from $80,000–$180,000. They are most often part of a complete paving spread as the finish roller following breakdown and intermediate rollers.

Frequently Asked Questions — Road Roller Financing
What are the three main types of road rollers and how are they financed?
Road rollers divide into three types with similar financing profiles but different price points: (1) Double drum rollers (also called tandem rollers) have two steel drums for asphalt compaction — prices range from $50,000–$200,000 depending on size. These are the most common type on paving projects. (2) Single drum vibratory rollers have one large drum at the front and pneumatic tires at the rear — used for soil and aggregate compaction, prices range from $80,000–$300,000 for large soil compactors. (3) Pneumatic tire rollers use multiple rubber tires to finish asphalt and seal surfaces — prices range from $80,000–$180,000. All three types are financed as standard construction equipment with 48–72 month terms.
What are typical road roller financing terms in 2024?
Small double drum rollers ($40,000–$100,000) finance for 48–60 months. Large single drum soil compactors ($100,000–$300,000) finance for 60–84 months. Rates in 2024 range from 6.5%–11% APR for established businesses. Cat Financial and the Wirtgen Group (Hamm, owned by John Deere) offer OEM programs with periodic promotional rates. Bomag has its own financing program. Down payments are typically 0%–10% for qualified buyers. Road rollers are commonly financed as part of a complete paving equipment package along with asphalt pavers and milling machines.
Which road roller brand holds the best resale value?
Caterpillar and Bomag consistently hold the strongest residual values in road roller equipment. A 5-year-old Cat CB10 or Bomag BW 213 DH-5 retains approximately 48%–58% of new value. Hamm (owned by Wirtgen/John Deere) also holds strong residuals, particularly in the soil compactor segment where Hamm's large machines are highly regarded. Dynapac (Atlas Copco) and Volvo rollers hold solid residuals but tend to trail Cat and Bomag slightly. For financing purposes, all five major brands are well-recognized and will receive competitive lender terms.
Can I finance road rollers as part of a paving equipment package?
Yes — road rollers are almost always financed as part of a complete paving operation package alongside an asphalt paver. A typical paving spread includes: 1 asphalt paver ($250,000–$500,000), 1–2 breakdown rollers ($80,000–$160,000 each), 1 intermediate roller ($80,000–$150,000), and 1 finish pneumatic roller ($90,000–$160,000). Total package value of $600,000–$1.2M+ is common. Financing a complete package as a single transaction simplifies underwriting and often results in better overall terms — the lender sees a complete, revenue-generating paving operation rather than individual machines.
What is Bomag's ownership and how does it affect financing?
Bomag is owned by Fayat Group (French private company), which also owns several other construction and road equipment brands. Bomag has its own North American financing program and strong US dealer network. Unlike Hamm (now part of Wirtgen/John Deere), Bomag remains independent — which means Bomag financing is separate from the Deere ecosystem. For buyers who want to consolidate equipment purchases through a single OEM financial relationship, this is worth noting. For buyers primarily concerned with getting the best terms on a single roller, Bomag Financial and independent lenders both provide competitive options.
Are road rollers used for applications other than asphalt paving?
Yes — road rollers serve multiple compaction applications beyond asphalt paving, which broadens their secondary market and strengthens residual values. Single drum vibratory compactors are essential for soil compaction in earthmoving, dam construction, and foundation work. Large padfoot (sheepsfoot) rollers compact clay soils on landfill covers, dam embankments, and road bases. Pneumatic tire rollers are used for finish compaction on asphalt but also for aggregate and granular base compaction. The wide application range means a road roller financed for one project can be redeployed to another market — a versatility that lenders value when assessing collateral.
