anyone able to poijnt me in the direction where i could find a 600mm (24") wide ride-on roller, preferably vibrating, with the operator either standing on the unit or sitting on it? not that i'd be overly keen to use one at that width, i imagine the stability mightn't be that great. i've looked high and low and the narowest i can identify is 800mm similar to the hamm 8. I am not looking for a remote controlled trench type roller, the application is for footpaths. thanks!
Bomag makes a walk behind thats 22" wide at the drum. Model is a bw55e, Ive use a tandem wheel roller for doing paths and the operater had to be careful or it would go over. I thought it was kinda dangerous cause he stood a chance of getting run over if they were operating on a grade, But you have to pack it down somehow.
thanks - but not after a walk behind as the operators are not keen to use one.
I'm sure a laborer would gladly trade his shovel or rake for a walk behind roller....
if he's smart he would :drinkup
you may well be right there, the client is specific it cannot be walk behind and they do not seem keen on remote controlled gear. i'd throw them a plate wacker and let 'em loose if i was running the crew.
Narrowest ride on I've come across is a 800mm Bomag and they are not the most stable piece of kit mouse, did you have any luck with this? I dont see that a client can specify a piece of equipment that is (a) probably unavailable or/and (b) probably dangerous. Our footpaths either get a walk behind single drum ( I'm sure they are bigger than 600mm / 2' ) or a vibrating plate if a roller wont fit.
Here is a small ride on 28" front and 32" rear - http://www.southern-tool.com/store/stone_wolfpac2500_alphalt_roller.html

rammax has walk behind with wireless remote .. so they could bring a lawn chair and set beside the ditch, I think they rented a rider but it was 32ish wide, and scary looking. The funny thing is even with the wireless, which had 25'+ range , they still walk behind it.
