Light Tandem Roller: Introduction
- Tandem rollers are also called double drum rollers, as they have two steel drum at front and rear side. Tandem rollers are a kind of compacters used to compact asphalt, earthwork, or concrete. The rear drum is a vibratory drum and hence, it is used to compact, while the front drum rolls over it to obtain a flat surface.
- Light tandem rollers are of vital importance in construction of roads, highways, dams, parking lots, playing fields, sidewalks, cycle paths, industrial yards and similar other applications.
Key Drivers of Global Light Tandem Roller Market:
- Rise in number of infrastructure development projects such as roads, highways, dams, airports, railways, and bridges is an important driver of the global light tandem roller market. Growing trend of providing light tandem roller on a rental and lease basis is also bolstering the light tandem roller market growth, and the demand is projected to continue to grow during the forecast period.
- Developing nations such as India, Brazil, South Africa are witnessing rapid infrastructure and construction development, and their respective governments are spending significant share of the country’s GDP, which in turn fueling the light tandem roller market. In the Middle East, in wake of shifting of the reliance on oil, governments are focusing on the development of world-class infrastructure, primarily to create business hubs and make travel easy.
- Growing innovation and technology has introduced intelligent compaction system with the advantage of sensors, displays, and telematics, which in turn is fueling the light tandem roller market across the globe.
Restraints of Global Light Tandem Roller Market:
- Stringent environmental policies are anticipated to restrain the global light tandem roller market during the forecast period. Tandem rollers emit harmful gases such as carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide during operation. Thus, complying with the strict fuel emission standards set by regulatory authorities is a significant challenge for market players.
- Rental services in tandem roller market are expanding consistently, and this trend is posing a challenge for new sales in the light tandem roller market. Furthermore, the delay in project clearances, along with low labor productivity across the globe, is also a challenge for the global light tandem roller market growth.
Opportunities in Global Light Tandem Roller Market:
- Large investments in research and development activities by OEMs and manufacturers is likely to leverage the global tandem roller market. The advent of telematics and digital technology is prompting OEMs, manufacturers, and end-users to lean toward smarter technology driven compactors, which would reduce efforts in operation. Telematics enables the operator to monitor the performance of equipment and its GPS location, engine hours idling, and fuel consumption rate.
- In September 2021, Volvo Construction Equipment revealed its CX01 single-drum asphalt compactor concept at the Utility Expo in, Kentucky, U.S. In March 2020, BOMAG GmbH introduced its first fully autonomous tandem roller which was enabled with GPS and LiDAR technology to access the information on its position, situation, and movement. It also has Asphalt Manager System, which enables automated intelligent compaction control, monitoring, and documentation. Furthermore, In April 2019, Mecalac Group introduced a joystick driven tandem roller concept. The company claims that this will provide safer access and comfortable operation. The joystick is placed in the place of the rollers steering column, making the comfortable space for the operator.
Global Light Tandem Roller Market: Regional Outlook
- The light tandem roller market in APAC is expected to expand at a notable pace during the forecast period. Rapid growth in road and highway construction, smart city and urban infrastructure development, industrial development, government projects in major expanding economies such as China, India, Vietnam, and ASEAN nations are anticipated to propel the light tandem roller market in the region. China is focusing on expansion of its infrastructure mainly to project military power along its western frontier and hence China is constructing and upgrading dozens of airports and heliports within its western regions of Tibet and Xinjiang. Likewise, India is also investing heavily in highways and airports infrastructure projects to meet the effective rural-urban connectivity goal. The APAC market is likely to be closely followed by North America and Europe owing to increased automation and demand for artificial intelligence-based tandem roller in these regions. Contractors and builders are opting for digital and cloud-based solutions for precise compacting applications, which is expected to fuel the light tandem roller market in these regions.
