A walk-behind roller (also called a walk-behind vibratory roller) is a compact, hand-guided machine that compacts soil, gravel, sand and asphalt in tight spaces such as trenches, footpaths, driveways and patch repairs. Sona offers 3 walk-behind rollers, including the XCMG XMR050, priced from ₹1,65,000 to ₹2,00,000. They weigh about 530–550 kg and run on 8–10 HP engines with 20 kN of exciting force at 75 Hz. All come with genuine spare parts and service support. Tap Get Quote for the latest price.
What are you compacting? Soil, gravel and sand in layers up to 25 cm, and asphalt up to 20 cm, with the YH600. Its 35-litre water tank keeps the drums wet on asphalt.
Tight trench, footpath or open driveway? The XMR050 is only 780 mm wide, so it fits footpaths and narrow trenches. The YH600 is 940 mm wide and suits driveways, parking areas and wider patches.
Budget and weight? ₹1,65,000 (YH600), ₹1,72,000 (YH650) and ₹2,00,000 (XMR050). The YH600 weighs 550 kg and the XMR050 530 kg, light enough for narrow access.
Buy or rent? Sona sells new rollers with pan-India delivery.
