A good road needs a smooth and strong surface. But laying asphalt is only one part of the job. After asphalt is placed, it needs to be rolled before it cools. This helps compact the surface and prepares it for traffic.
This is where BOMAG asphalt rollers come in. Galadari Trucks & Heavy Equipment supplies a range of BOMAG rollers across the UAE. The range includes light tandem rollers, heavy tandem rollers, and pneumatic rollers for different paving jobs.
Fresh asphalt needs proper compaction after it is laid. Rolling helps press the material and create a smooth, even surface. The right roller can also help contractors handle different types and sizes of paving work.
A bomag roller is designed for asphalt compaction. The models available through Galadari come in different sizes, weights, and working widths. This gives contractors options for smaller paving jobs as well as large road projects.
Good compaction can help:
The roller should always match the work. A small parking area may need a different machine from a large highway project.
Galadari lists three main types of BOMAG asphalt rollers:
Each type is suited to different paving needs. Light tandem rollers are listed for smaller jobs, while heavy tandem rollers are listed for highways, city roads, airport runways, industrial areas, and other large projects.
The pneumatic option uses rubber tyres to apply pressure across the asphalt surface.
Galadari’s asphalt roller range includes eight listed BOMAG models. Their operating weights and working widths vary, giving contractors several options.

Not every road project needs a large roller. Smaller paving jobs can need a compact machine that is easier to use in tighter areas.
The light tandem range includes:
The BW120 AC-5 has an operating weight of 2,450 kg and a working width of 1,200 mm. The BW120 AD-5 weighs 2,700 kg and has the same working width.
The BW138 AC-5 weighs 4,150 kg and has a working width of 1,380 mm. The BW138 AD-5 weighs 4,400 kg and also has a 1,380 mm working width.
These models are listed for smaller paving jobs such as:
Their compact size can make them suitable when a project does not require a larger heavy tandem roller.
Large paving projects need machines that can handle bigger working areas. Heavy tandem rollers are made for this type of work.
The heavy tandem range includes:
The BW141 AD-50 has an operating weight of 6,900 kg and a working width of 1,500 mm.
The BW161 AC-50 has an operating weight of 9,700 kg and a working width of 1,680 mm. The BW161 AD-50 is listed at 10,000 kg with the same 1,680 mm working width.
These rollers are listed for:
A wider working width allows the machine to cover more surface in each pass. This can be useful when contractors are working across large road surfaces.
A drum roller uses a heavy steel drum to press and compact the surface. Tandem asphalt rollers use drums to work on freshly laid asphalt.
The size and weight of the roller can affect how much surface it covers and how it performs during the job. This is why contractors need to look at the project size and machine specifications before choosing a roller.
For asphalt work, the main focus is to use a machine that matches the paving job. Galadari’s range gives contractors light tandem, heavy tandem, and pneumatic options for different requirements.
The range also includes a pneumatic roller called the BW 24 RH.
Unlike a tandem roller, a pneumatic roller uses rubber tyres. These tyres apply pressure across the asphalt surface and help create even compaction.
The BW 24 RH has:
Pneumatic rollers can be useful during the final stage of paving. They help apply even pressure across the surface and support a smooth, uniform finish.
This makes the BW 24 RH a useful option for projects that need pneumatic compaction instead of a tandem roller.
The right roller depends on the project. Looking only at the machine size is not enough.
For smaller paving jobs, a light tandem roller may be suitable. Larger highways, city roads, airport runways, and industrial areas may require a heavy tandem roller.
Working width shows how much surface the machine can cover in one pass. The BOMAG models listed by Galadari range from 1,200 mm to 2,042 mm.
Operating weight is another important point. The listed machines range from 2,450 kg for the BW120 AC-5 to 10,000 kg for the BW161 AD-50.
Tandem rollers and pneumatic rollers work differently. Tandem rollers use drums, while pneumatic rollers use rubber tyres. The choice should match the paving work and project needs.
The size of the site and type of road should also be considered. A smaller roller may be easier to use on narrow or smaller paving areas, while larger machines can suit wider road projects.
Road projects can vary greatly in size. Some may involve residential streets or parking areas, while others may cover highways, airport runways, or industrial roads.
The BOMAG range at Galadari gives contractors different machine options for these jobs. Light tandem rollers are listed for smaller paving work. Heavy tandem rollers are listed for larger projects. The BW 24 RH provides a pneumatic option for even pressure and finishing work.
This range allows contractors to compare machine weight, working width, roller type, and application before making a choice.
Choosing a road roller is an important decision for any paving project. The machine needs to match the size of the job, the working area, and the type of asphalt work. Galadari GTHE offers a range of BOMAG rollers to help contractors find a suitable option for different paving needs.

An asphalt roller is used to compact freshly laid asphalt. It helps create a smooth and even road surface before it is ready for traffic.
Galadari lists three types: light tandem rollers, heavy tandem rollers, and pneumatic rollers.
The BW120 AC-5, BW120 AD-5, BW138 AC-5, and BW138 AD-5 are listed as light tandem rollers for footpaths, cycle tracks, parking areas, residential streets, and other smaller paving jobs.
The BW141 AD-50, BW161 AC-50, and BW161 AD-50 are listed as heavy tandem rollers for highways, city roads, airport runways, industrial areas, and large paving projects.
