WACKER NEUSON RD 12A-90 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The Wacker Neuson RD 12A-90 is a high-performance static smooth drum roller designed for precise asphalt and granular subbase compaction, ideally suited for applications such as road repairs, driveways, parking lots, and landscaping. It features a 35.4-inch wide and 22-inch diameter smooth steel drum with a vibration frequency of 3900 vpm (vibrations per minute), allowing for efficient compacting at faster speeds. The roller is powered by a reliable Honda gasoline engine delivering robust performance consistent with Wacker Neuson's standard for durability and efficiency. The machine has an operating width of 40.8 inches and an inside turning radius of 61 inches, enabling excellent maneuverability, including close compaction to curbs and obstructions thanks to a design that provides optimized side clearance (1.9 inches right, 3.5 inches left) and curb clearance (15.7 inches right, 8.2 inches left). The RD 12A-90 weighs up to 2,690 pounds with ballast and operator, ensuring stable operation. Additional features include an ergonomically designed operator station for comfort and operational efficiency, a pressurized water system with adjustable flow control to maintain consistent drum wetting, and front hood and rear platform that tilt for easy service access. The unit dimensions are approximately 71.8 inches long, 40.8 inches wide, and 90.6 inches high, with a water tank capacity of 26.4 gallons supporting longer operation times on-site. This tandem roller's static rear drum combined with a vibrating front drum delivers a quality asphalt finish with reduced sound levels, making it quieter than many competitive models in its class.
