LICH

Single Drum Roller for Sale

Compare 12 LICH single drum roller models, from a 330 kg walk-behind to an 18 t vibratory roller: drum width, amplitude, frequency and centrifugal force.

A single drum roller has one vibrating steel drum at the front and rubber tyres at the rear. The tyres give traction on loose fill and slopes, which is why the single drum roller is the standard machine for soil, gravel, crushed stone and rock fill under roads, yards, dams and building platforms.

Our 12 single drum roller models run from the 330 kg LC600 walk-behind to the 18,000 kg LCS718H. The table lists drum width, amplitude, frequency and centrifugal force for each one, so you can match the roller to the material and lift thickness before asking for a price.

Three drive layouts

  • Mechanical travel drive (LC210B, LC212B, LC216B): hydraulic vibration and steering and a Cummins 6BT5.9 rated at 97 kW. The LC212B and LC216B have three travel speeds of 2.0, 4.0 and 10.5 km/h.
  • Hydraulic double drive (LCD210H, LCD212H, LCD214H, LCD216H): drum and rear axle are both driven, travel is stepless from 0 to 12 km/h and gradeability reaches 35%. Pick it for slopes, wet clay and soft ground.
  • Hydraulic rear drive (LCS208H, LCS212H, LCS214H, LCS718H): stepless travel through the rear wheels; the LCS208H, LCS212H and LCS214H use Danfoss drive components. A simpler driveline for flat road bases and large earthworks.

Choosing the weight class

Drum weight sets how deep a single drum roller compacts. The 8 t LCS208H, with a 1,700 mm drum and 230 N/cm static linear load, suits road base and trench backfill in thinner lifts. The 12–14 t models put 280–373 N/cm on a 2,100 mm drum for most highway and airport subgrade work. The 16 t and 18 t machines reach 373–470 N/cm for rock fill, dam embankments and mine roads.

The LC600 walk-behind is the small exception: 330 kg and a 600 mm drum for patch repairs, footpaths and trenches too narrow for a ride-on machine.

Single drum roller checklist

  • Material: coarse granular soil and rock fill take the high amplitude; thinner layers and the final passes take the low amplitude.
  • Lift thickness and the compaction standard set for the job.
  • Ground: slopes and soft ground favour the hydraulic double drive models.
  • Drum: smooth drum is standard; the LCS718H also takes a removable padfoot kit for cohesive soil.
  • Site altitude and climate, so the engine and cooling package match.

Buyer questions

What is a single drum roller used for?

Compacting soil, sand, gravel, crushed stone and rock fill in road bases, embankments, dams, airports, ports and building platforms. The rubber rear tyres give the traction needed on loose material.

What is the difference between a single drum and a double drum roller?

A single drum roller has one steel drum and rear tyres and works on soil and aggregate. A double drum (tandem) roller has two steel drums and is used mainly on asphalt.

How heavy is a single drum roller?

Our models weigh 330 kg (LC600 walk-behind), 8,000 kg, 10,000 kg, 12,000 kg, 14,000 kg, 16,000 kg and 18,000 kg.

What amplitude does a single drum roller use?

The 12–18 t models have two settings, from 1.6/0.8 mm up to 2.0/1.0 mm. High amplitude reaches deeper into thick lifts; low amplitude finishes the surface. Frequency is 28–29/35 Hz on the hydraulic models and 30 Hz on the mechanical ones.

Which engine does a LICH single drum roller use?

A Cummins 6BT5.9 on the 10–16 t models, a Cummins 4BT3.9 on the 8 t LCS208H and a 140 kW WP6G190 on the 18 t LCS718H.
