BOMAG BW 161 AD-2 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

The BOMAG BW 161 AD-2 is a static smooth drum roller designed for high-quality asphalt compaction on roads, parking lots, access roads, and similar applications. This articulated tandem roller features a robust Deutz engine, delivering reliable performance and durability in demanding conditions. The machine has an overall width of 5.5 ft (66 in) and an operating width of 73.5 in, with a smooth front drum and a smooth rear drum, each 66.1 in wide, providing excellent surface finish and uniform compaction. It operates with a vibration frequency range of 2,700 to 3,000 vibrations per minute (vpm), allowing operators to match compaction intensity to the material and layer thickness for optimal density and smoothness. The articulated steering design ensures excellent maneuverability and tight turning radius, while the oscillating joint enhances drum conformity to uneven surfaces, improving compaction effectiveness. The BW 161 AD-2 is built for operator comfort and productivity, with good visibility, ergonomic controls, and easy access to service points. Its static compaction mode (non-vibrating) is ideal for finishing passes and sensitive areas where vibration must be avoided. The roller is well-suited for medium to large asphalt projects, offering consistent performance, durability, and ease of operation in a compact, articulated tandem configuration.
