Tutt Bryant compactors come in many sizes and have many design advantages that work across a range of job sites, with its five tonne and below tandem rollers having been designed for every purpose.
With most jobsites requiring machines like landfill compactors, Tutt Bryant Equipment’s range of smaller-sized BOMAG compactors stand out.
A leader in compaction technology, BOMAG provides a range of rollers under five tonnes for the compaction of refuse, soil and asphalt.
John Glossat National Business Development Manager – Tutt Bryant, says the BW100ADM-5, BW120AD/AC-5, BW138AD/AC-5 compactors offer the best machines for small to medium projects.
With operating weights of 1700, 2700 and 4400 kilograms respectively, the BOMAG light double drum rollers are essential when working on smaller projects.
“Just because operators are using a compact machine doesn’t mean they should miss out on productivity, operator comfort, performance and innovation,” says Glossat. “To ensure Tutt Bryant customers receive the best out of a BOMAG machine, BOMAG engineers do all they can to make each new generation even more economical and more productive.”
“That is why every BOMAG aids our customers in efficiency, comfortability and professionalism.”

Ranging from 1.5 tonne to five tonne operating weight, the smaller tandem rollers are ideal for footpaths and repair work, as well as finishing work in road construction. Glossat says the compact BOMAG tandem rollers have also acquired an excellent reputation in landscaping around the world.
“In order to increase flexibility in tight spaces, BOMAG offers rollers with clear-sided drums, which are only suspended on one side and off-centre,” says Glossat.
“As a result, the rollers can compact cleanly right up to high walls of buildings and other boundaries.”
Asphalt surface quality can also be improved when using a BOMAG light combination rollers.
“The rolling and kneading effect of the rubber wheels pulls bitumen to the surface and achieves maximum sealing of the asphalt layer,” says Glossat.
“Several other features have been added to the light tandem roller range available to our Australian clients.”
Australian clients also have the benefit of the quick to service aspect of the BOMAG range, which saves on time and simplifies daily maintenance.
“Our BOMAG range was designed with practical usage at the forefront of our engineers’ minds, which is why we introduced BOMAG’s EasyService concept,” says Glossat.

He says BOMAG EasyService also means access to all maintenance points, which can be comfortably reached from the ground.
“The single-unit hood, made of composite materials with strong gas springs, swings up readily and reveals the entire engine compartment, meaning all fluids can be drained through external drains,” he says.
“The articulated joint is also maintenance free, while the motor, central electrics and water pumps are easily accessible, saving time and simplifying maintenance.”
Glossat says BOMAG tandem rollers are efficient to service because the easiest and most cost-effective service is one that is not necessary.
All machines are also equipped with the crabwalk function, special hermetically sealed bearings and permanent high-quality grease filling, which Glossat says guarantees reliable lifetime lubrication.
In case of an emergency, Glossat says the articulation joint has not been welded to the frame and is easily accessible if need be.
Operator comfort was also a key priority when designing the range, as machines are equipped with a spacious operator’s platform, compact steering wheel and a robust dashboard with large switches.
Glossat says other key features include a soft responsive control lever, dual travel levers to safely and easily operate from each side of seating position and a clear view of the drum edges.
Special features of the BW120AD/AC-5 and BW138AD/AC-5 include a temperature sensor and the ‘economizer’, a tool used to display the increase of compaction to operators.
No set up or calibration is required on the ‘economizer’, designed for easy use by all operators.
Glossat says the tool always reads compaction results and automatically determines the compaction progress as the day progresses.
“A light strip indicates the end of compaction to the driver to avoid over compaction, while a warning lamp also lets you know when there is a risk of over compaction,” says Glossat.
“The ‘economizer’ saves time, money and fuel. It helps avoid unnecessary passes, reduces wear and tear and ensures stress-free and flexible on-site work.”
