His road roller has been in use for over ten years!

By following these tips, your road roller can last for over a decade!

Recently, during follow-up visits to some long-time users of Lutong road rollers, we found that many have used their rollers for over ten years.

While many people think that a road roller lasting 8-10 years is good, it's clear that many in our industry have used their rollers much longer and maximized their value.

For example, an engineer in Baoding, Hebei, currently owns three Lutong road rollers: a 3-ton double-drum small road roller LTC3B, a 20-ton/30-ton pneumatic tire roller LRS2030, and the "youngest" of these

 three, a 12-ton double-drum road roller LTC212. The first two are older Lutong models, used for over ten years since purchase, and still perform excellently in compaction work.

So, how can you choose a high-quality road roller with a long service life? To extend the lifespan of your road roller, follow these tips:

Choose a good one, not a cheap one.

Because road rollers are relatively expensive, many people hesitate when choosing one due to price considerations, and some even opt for cheaper models from smaller manufacturers. While they may seem 

inexpensive at first glance, the adage "you get what you pay for" applies to road rollers as well. Those cheaper rollers cut corners on parts and manufacturing processes, using cheaper components like 

engines and hydraulic systems, thus reducing production costs and allowing the manufacturer to profit even at a lower price.

However, Lutong road rollers don't do this. Even in a highly competitive market, Lutong chooses parts from domestic and international brands, using mature processes and reliable technology to produce

 high-performance, comfortable, and long-lasting road rollers. They don't compromise on quality while maximizing cost-effectiveness, which is why rollers manufactured over a decade ago are still in use today.

 In the long run, the cost of choosing a durable and reliable road roller is far lower than that of a cheap one; and the value generated by a durable and reliable road roller is also much higher than that of a cheap one.

Choose the right one, don't settle.

As you can see, the three road rollers this customer in Baoding has different uses. The 3-ton small road roller can handle small projects or compaction work on narrow roads; the 12-ton road roller can handle

 various projects, large and small, and can even handle high-quality projects like highways; while this pneumatic tire roller is used for finishing work on asphalt roads.

Each road roller corresponding to its working condition will achieve better results during compaction. For example, a single-drum road roller with patterned tires should not be used for finishing work, 

otherwise the compacted road surface will inevitably have various "ripples".

Proper maintenance prevents premature wear and tear.

Besides the quality of the road roller itself, proper maintenance also affects its lifespan. During our follow-up visits, we saw that the road rollers were all in use for over ten years, consistently maintained

 according to Lutong's recommended routine. Without exception, they were all serviced.

Just like human skin develops wrinkles and age spots with age, neglecting daily skincare can result in a significant difference in appearance between someone in their forties or fifties and someone who does. 

The same principle applies to road roller maintenance. Despite being a large, rugged machine, a road roller requires regular maintenance to maintain its optimal condition.

Currently, Lutong offers a wide range of road roller models, from 0.6 tons to 40 tons, meeting the needs of various types including walk-behind, ride-on, hydraulic, mechanical, single-drum, double-drum, and

 rubber-tired rollers.
