AsphaltPro’s 15 Top Products: Dynapac CP28, Heavy‑Ballast Pneumatic Tire Roller for Asphalt & Soil

This product was selected for the inaugural AsphaltPro’s 15 Top Products Feature.

Dynapac North America LLC, Fort Mill, South Carolina, is a supplier of soil and asphalt rollers, compact equipment, pavers, and feeders. The company places a strong emphasis on technology, sustainability and customer satisfaction as a partner in building the world’s infrastructure. March 25, 2025, the company introduced its CP28 Pneumatic Tire Roller to the North American market.

Asphalt contractors performing highway, bridge and sensitive paving projects look to tried-and-true technology to achieve perfect densities. The kneading action of the rubber-tire roller cannot be ignored for its ability to assist in meeting specs.

According to the manufacturer, the CP28’s flexible rubber tires and adjustable air pressure system allow operators to achieve consistent density while minimizing surface damage. The roller is made for various applications, including finishing asphalt layers to create a smooth, even surface with best-in-class tire overlap. It also excels at compacting different soil types, from granular to semi-cohesive materials.

One of the CP28’s standout time-saving features is the Air on the Run system, which inflates all tires from 0 to 120 psi KPa in 12 minutes. The CP28 features front and rear suspension systems designed to optimize tire-to-surface contact.

The CP28 is equipped with a watertight frame, allowing for a flexible ballast system. Operators can adjust the weight by adding or removing steel plates in the front and rear ballast compartments using a forklift. For even greater flexibility, the machine can be ballasted with wet sand, water, steel shot or scrap metal.

“The CP28 was designed with contractors in mind—offering a balance of power, precision and operator comfort,” said Eric Booth, the compaction product manager at Dynapac. “Its advanced features, like the Air on the Run system and enhanced suspension, ensure optimal compaction results while improving job site efficiency.”
