The register lists here 6 versions with 56 to 147.1 kW, operating weights from 8,870 to 20,930 kg, lengths from 4,910 to 6,340 mm and widths from 1,840 to 2,300 mm; they are powered by Deutz diesel engines of the BF4M and BF6M families.

Rollers of this class are used in earthworks, road and path construction and the compaction of embankments and dams; the range from lighter to heavy single-drum rollers lets construction firms and rental fleets provide the right machine for different soil types and compaction tasks.

Rollers of this kind compact through static dead weight or additionally through a dynamic vibration system, whose eccentric weights generate a centrifugal force that multiplies ground pressure; amplitude and frequency are matched to soil type and layer thickness. The drum is smooth for asphalt and granular soils, fitted with padfoot lugs for cohesive, clayey soils, which are broken up and keyed together in the process, or built as a pneumatic-tyre roller for the finish compaction of asphalt and mixed soils. Modern rollers often carry a measuring system that records the compaction level across the whole area while driving.

On used examples, the condition of the drum or shell and its bearings, the function of the vibration and, on some models, oscillation system, the condition of the Deutz diesel engine, the tightness of the hydraulics and rust on the frame all matter; spare parts and service run through the Bomag dealer network.
