The main difference between a single-drum and a double-drum roller is the number of working drums. A single-drum roller has only one drum, which is used to compact the surface, usually placed at the front of the machine. On the other hand, a double-drum roller has two drums, placed at both the front and rear of the machine. This design allows for simultaneous compaction of the surface from both sides, which can significantly improve work efficiency on larger surfaces. At Ramirent construction equipment rental, we offer rental of single-drum and double-drum rollers.

Single-drum rollers

They provide less pressure on the surface, which is useful for lighter work. They can be less stable, especially on uneven surfaces, because the pressure is concentrated on one drum.

Double-drum rollers

They offer greater pressure and more effective compaction, ideal for thicker layers of material. Thanks to the even distribution of pressure, they provide better stability, which translates into higher quality of work, even on uneven surfaces.

Single drum rollers

Ideal for smaller surfaces such as pavements, squares, parking lots and work requiring less compaction, such as paving or work on small surfaces.

Double drum rollers

Designed for larger road investments and surfaces requiring intensive compaction, such as roads, large parking lots or other spaces where greater compaction force is needed.

Single-drum and double-drum rollers differ primarily in their design, compaction force and application in different working conditions. The choice of the right roller depends on the specifics of the project, type of surface and required work efficiency. Single-drum rollers are ideal for smaller surfaces, where maneuverability and ease of maneuvering are important, while double-drum rollers will work well where greater compaction and stability are required.
