In a historic district restoration project in Lyon, France, the narrow working space made it difficult for conventional compaction equipment to enter the site. The construction team ultimately chose a YG-600D mini road roller, which efficiently completed the compaction tasks. This flexible walk behind double drum roller successfully overcame the spatial limitations and received high recognition from the project owner.【WhatsApp/WeChat/Phone】+86 13837122632

Project Background & Customer Needs
France is known for its historic towns with narrow, winding streets. At the same time, maintenance of sidewalks, bike paths, driveways, and small parks is very common. Local contractors working on such projects often face three major challenges:
- Space constraints: Large ride-on rollers cannot enter the jobsite, while manual compaction is inefficient and produces inconsistent quality.
- Balancing quality and efficiency: Projects must meet legally required compaction standards while being completed within tight schedules, demanding high efficiency and reliability from the equipment.
- Cost control: Equipment purchase, maintenance, and labor costs are major considerations. Although European brands like Bomag are well-known, their price is significantly higher. Contractors urgently need a durable and cost-effective small road roller.
How the Mini Road Roller Helps Solve These Challenges
To address these issues, the YG-600D walk behind double drum roller provides a complete solution:
- Excellent maneuverability: Its compact body and very small turning radius allow it to pass through 1-meter-wide narrow passages and maneuver freely in courtyards, directly solving space-restriction challenges.
- Strong and reliable compaction performance: With a 25KN vibration force and 45N/cm static linear load, it ensures effective compaction from asphalt surfaces to granular sub-bases. The mechanical vibration system and automatic centrifugal clutch provide stable performance and simple maintenance.
- User-friendly operation: The extended handle and hydraulic transmission reduce steering effort, allowing operators to work comfortably for long periods. The 15L integrated water tank provides continuous water flow to prevent asphalt adhesion.
Mini Road Roller in Actual Use
During the Lyon project, the mini road roller demonstrated its full advantages:
- Fast deployment and relocation: Weighing only 550 kg, it can be transported with a light truck or trailer and driven directly to the working area, greatly reducing setup time.
- Handling complex conditions: The jobsite included slopes, but its 30% climbing ability ensured stable performance. The 0–4 km/h stepless speed adjustment allowed precise control, ensuring compaction quality even in tight corners.
- Low failure rate ensured project schedule: Key components such as the hydraulic pump and motor are from reputable brands, and the Honda GX270 engine is highly reliable. Throughout the project, the machine performed smoothly without downtime.
Mini Road Roller Customer Feedback
After the project, the contractor shared positive feedback:
“We compared several European small road roller models, but ultimately chose the Chinese-made YG-600D because its key performance is just as strong, and the mini road roller price is far more competitive. Most importantly, it perfectly met our needs for working in extremely confined spaces.”
