2025 Sakai 79" (14 ton) SW884 Tandem Asphalt Roller

The SAKAI SW884 high-performance double drum asphalt roller built for the most demanding paving projects, including interstate paving, highways, and airport runways. Powered by a reliable Cummins diesel engine, this asphalt roller delivers an impressive 4,000 VPM, enabling rolling at higher speeds to keep pace with the paver while maintaining necessary impact spacing for high-density compaction and superior results. Weighing just over 14 tons with wide 79-inch drums, unlike most rollers on the market, its low center of gravity provides exceptional stability and a confident feel. Engineered for reliability, durability, and ease of use, the SW884 is designed for maximum uptime and operator efficiency. The 180-degree operator station easily rotates via a convenient foot pedal. This design provides unmatched visibility and control, complemented by intuitive, physical switches and knobs that simplify operation. The heavy-duty hitch design contributes significantly to the machine’s robust construction and extended service life, a hallmark of SAKAI durability. A triple-filtered spray system with durable metal nozzles ensures consistent drum wetting, preventing asphalt pickup and contributing to a smooth, high-quality finish. Choose the SW884 for a powerful and dependable solution for your heaviest asphalt compaction needs.
