Hamm vs Bomag

Bomag is a German manufacturer specialising in compaction equipment - rollers, plate compactors, cold planers and soil stabilisers - rather than a full construction equipment line. UK groundworks and surfacing contractors hire its light and medium tandem rollers for asphalt patching, driveway and footpath compaction where a heavier single-drum roller would be unnecessary.
