BOMAG’s articulated tandem rollers under five tonnes are an ideal range of machinery for everyday use.
BOMAG light tandem rollers, offered in partnership with Tutt Bryant Equipment, are designed with one clear purpose: to make every task more efficient, comfortable, and professional for the user.
Just because operators are using a compact machine doesn’t mean they should miss out on productivity, operator comfort, performance and innovation, says John Glossat, National Business Development Manager for Tutt Bryant Equipment.
In the many years Glossat has worked for Tutt Bryant Equipment, he has never encountered an unsatisfied customer who has purchased from the light tandem roller range.
“Our BOMAG engineers do all they can to make each new generation of rollers better than the last,” he says.
“Our team listens to our customers. They hear what they want from the next generation. And they deliver.
“This latest range of light tandem rollers are worth the attention. They are more economical and productive than ever.”
BOMAG integrates innovation and practical design into every roller, ensuring that each unit not only meets the demands of modern compaction work, but also enhances the operator’s experience.
The result is machinery that streamlines workflow and boosts job site productivity.
“Tutt Bryant has always maintained a close relationship with our Australian customer base, allowing our engineers to provide tailored BOMAG solutions that deliver real and measurable gains,” says Glossat.
“We are proud to have an ongoing dialogue with end users, ensuring that every light tandem roller is equipped to handle diverse operational challenges.”
Whether the job is compacting asphalt on tight urban pathways or performing finishing work on larger infrastructure projects, Glossat says the light tandem range can get the job done.
With operating weights of up to five tonnes, BOMAG’s light tandem rollers come packed with features that deliver on value.
These machines are particularly well-suited for applications such as footpath construction, small-scale repair work, and surface finishing in road construction.
They provide reliable performance, easy handling, and compact manoeuvrability, all ideal traits for worksites where precision and efficiency are paramount.
Spotlighting features
The BW100ADM-5, BW120AD/AC-5 and BW138AD/AC-5 light tandem rollers ensure a productive workday.
Light tandem rollers are commonly used by a wide range of operators across various construction environments.
Recognising this, BOMAG engineers place strong emphasis on creating machines that feel intuitive and comfortable to operate from the moment the user steps on board.
To support this, BOMAG has developed a host of user-focused features, with a special focus on every detail.
This approach ensures that operators not only find the rollers easy to handle but also find pleasure in using them.
“A satisfied operator is a more productive one,” says Glossat.
“We have ensured that the operator’s platform is spacious and ergonomically designed, featuring a sturdy dashboard with large, easy-to-reach switches and a compact steering wheel for efficient control.”
Smooth, responsive handling through the soft-touch control lever, combined with excellent visibility of the drum edges, helps foster an efficient working environment – essential for high-quality compaction results.
Understanding that time is money, BOMAG ensures that its machines are quick and easy to service.
“We want to eliminate downtime on the machine wherever possible, that’s why the range of light tandem rollers have been dispensed with lubrication nipples, meaning there are no lubrication requirements for the entire machine,” says Glossat.
The articulation joint is not welded to the frame to ensure smooth movement between pivot points across the machine. It is also easily accessible in the case of an emergency.

The motor, central electrics and water pump are also easily accessible, saving time and simplifying daily maintenance, ensuring longevity and efficient operations.
All machines under five tonnes come equipped with the crabwalk function, allowing the machine to move diagonally.
“This function makes moving a heavy machine feel like gliding on butter,” says Glossat.
“It was crucial to BOMAG engineers that the manoeuvrability of the machine remain uncompromised.
“It ensures the light compaction range is useful for manoeuvring in tight spaces, alongside walls, or for making precise lateral movements.”
The light compaction rollers are also equipped with wind-protected sprinkler nozzles which ensures even-wetting of the bandages in all conditions.
This feature is crucial for effective compaction by preventing uneven moisture distribution, which can lead to inconsistent material density and compromised compaction quality.
“The BW120AD/AC-5 up to BW138AD/AC-5 rollers are equipped with temperature sensors and the ever so reliable ECONOMISER,” says Glossat.
The ECONOMISER shows the increase of compaction on a display, helping to achieve consistent compaction results.
The machine automatically tracks the compaction progress and signals to the operator when end of compaction is near. This is done to help the driver avoid over-compaction.
With intelligent design, operator-focused features, and reliable performance, BOMAG light tandem rollers deliver the comfort, efficiency, and precision needed to get the job done right every time.
