XCMG XP305KHSIV Pneumatic Tire Roller – Exceptional Kneading Compaction for Superior Asphalt Density
The XP305KHSIV tire roller is a heavy-duty tire roller manufactured to meet market demands. It uses pneumatic tires to compact paving materials and is primarily suitable for compaction work on asphalt pavements, base courses, sub-base courses, dams, and embankment projects. It is the ideal compaction equipment for the construction of high-grade highways, airports, ports, dams, and industrial construction sites.
Comprehensive Overview of the XP305KHSIV
The XP305KHSIV pneumatic tire roller is engineered for the critical final compaction stages that define pavement longevity. Unlike steel-drum rollers, it uses a set of smooth rubber tires to impart a kneading action that reorients aggregate particles, closes surface voids, and creates a tight, water-resistant seal. This process is essential for achieving target air void content and preventing moisture infiltration.
XCMG has equipped the XP305KHSIV with a flexible ballasting system that allows operators to adjust the machine’s operating weight between 16,000 kg and 30,000 kg. By simply adding or removing water, sand, or steel ballast, the roller adapts to varying lift thicknesses and mix designs, providing consistent ground contact pressure across all tires.
The independent tire suspension and oscillation capability ensure that each tire maintains contact with the mat surface, even on slightly uneven substrates. This prevents bridging and guarantees uniform compaction density, a crucial factor in preventing differential rutting and cracking over the pavement’s service life.
Key Features of the XP305KHSIV
Adjustable Ballasting System
Easily modify operating weight from 16 t to 30 t using integrated water, sand, or steel ballast compartments, perfectly matching compaction energy to project needs.
11 High-Performance Tires
A front 5-tire and rear 6-tire configuration with overlapping coverage delivers a generous compaction width and exceptional surface sealing capability.
Automatic Tire Inflation
Centralized tire inflation system maintains consistent pressure across all wheels, ensuring uniform ground pressure and eliminating operator guesswork.
Heavy-Duty Engine
A reliable 132 kW diesel engine delivers ample power for steep grades and continuous operation, meeting Stage IV emission standards.
Ergonomic Cabin with A/C
The ROPS/FOPS certified cab includes a climate-controlled environment, reducing operator fatigue and maximizing focus during long paving shifts.
Automatic Dust Prevention
Integrated tire wiping and dust suppression systems keep the rubber tires clean, preventing stone pickup and preserving mat smoothness.

Performance Advantages of the XP305KHSIV
The XP305KHSIV pneumatic tire roller excels at producing a dense, watertight surface layer that dramatically extends pavement life. The kneading effect of the rubber tires forces fine aggregate particles into surface voids, achieving air void contents below 6% and significantly reducing the risk of oxidation and moisture-induced stripping.
Unlike steel drum rollers that can bridge over minor surface irregularities, the flexible tires on the XP305KHSIV conform to the mat profile. This ensures consistent compaction density even on variable-depth overlays and textured bridge deck surfaces, delivering uniform performance across the entire project width.
The adjustable ballasting capability gives contractors a single machine that can handle both thin lift overlays and thick base course compaction. By fine-tuning the operating weight, the XP305KHSIV applies the precise ground pressure needed, eliminating over-compaction in thin layers and under-compaction in deep lifts.
Why the XP305KHSIV Is the Smart Investment
The XP305KHSIV delivers lower cost per compacted tonne through fuel efficiency, durable tire life, and minimal downtime. Centralized lube points and easy access to filters and drains make daily maintenance quick and straightforward, keeping the roller on the job site and productive.
With XCMG’s worldwide parts and service support, the XP305KHSIV offers long-term peace of mind. Comprehensive operator training resources and responsive technical assistance ensure that every crew can achieve professional compaction results from the very first pass.
Versatile Application Environments
The XP305KHSIV is the preferred finishing roller for highways and airport runways where surface impermeability is paramount. It follows behind steel drum rollers to seal the surface, creating a smooth, dense mat that resists water penetration and polishing under heavy traffic loads.
On bridge deck overlay projects, the pneumatic tires adapt to concrete textures without damaging the waterproofing membrane, compacting the asphalt overlay evenly. Municipal contractors also rely on the XP305KHSIV for arterial road resurfacing, where its maneuverability and consistent coverage reduce lane closure times.
Advanced Technology and Operator Comfort
The XP305KHSIV is equipped with a CANbus control system that monitors engine performance, tire pressure, and ballast distribution in real time. A large multi-function display provides the operator with instant feedback, enabling precise adjustments without leaving the climate-controlled cabin.
A hydrostatic drive system ensures smooth acceleration and braking, protecting the fresh asphalt surface from scuff marks. The power steering with articulated frame offers excellent maneuverability, allowing the roller to navigate tight curves and intersections typically found on urban paving projects.
Noise levels inside the cabin are kept below 78 dB(A), thanks to advanced sound insulation materials and vibration-dampened mounting points. This contributes to a safer, more comfortable working environment during extended shifts on large-scale construction sites.
Sustainability and Environmental Compliance
The XP305KHSIV complies with Stage IV emission standards, significantly reducing nitrogen oxides and particulate matter compared to previous generation engines. An eco-mode function automatically adjusts engine RPM during idle periods, lowering fuel consumption and exhaust emissions on site.
Water usage for tire washing is optimized through a recirculation system with filtration, minimizing freshwater consumption. Operators can adjust spray intervals to match ambient temperature and mix stickiness, preventing waste while ensuring tires remain clean and functional throughout the working day.
