Honda GX390 - The Gold Standard in Small Engine Reliability
Why Honda GX390 Engine?
Honda's GX series is the global gold standard for small engines. Used in everything from generators to construction equipment worldwide, the GX390 delivers 13HP of reliable power with exceptional fuel efficiency. It starts easily - often on the first pull - and runs smoothly for years with minimal maintenance. Service centers and spare parts are available everywhere in India.
1.5-Ton for Light to Medium Duty
Not every job needs a 3-ton heavy roller. The 1.5-ton single drum roller is perfectly sized for driveways, pathways, trenches, and small parking areas. It's lighter, more maneuverable, and easier to transport than heavier models. For residential and light commercial work, this is often the ideal choice.
Petrol Engine Advantages
Petrol engines offer several advantages over diesel for light-duty equipment:
- Cleaner operation — Less smoke and smell compared to diesel
- Easier starting — Honda GX starts on first pull, even in cold weather
- Lower maintenance — Simpler fuel system, no diesel injector issues
- Quieter operation — Less noise than comparable diesel engines
- Lighter weight — Petrol engines are lighter than diesel equivalents
Single Drum Design
The single drum configuration makes this roller compact and highly maneuverable. It's easy to navigate around obstacles, work in tight spaces, and transport between job sites. For driveways and pathways where space is limited, single drum is often preferred over larger double drum models.

Honda authorized service centers and genuine parts are available across India.
When to choose 1.5-ton single drum vs 3-ton double drum?
Choose 1.5-ton for: driveways, pathways, trenches, landscaping, and light compaction. Choose 3-ton for: road construction, asphalt laying, parking lots, and heavy-duty compaction. The 1.5-ton is lighter, more maneuverable, and easier to transport. The 3-ton delivers more compaction force for professional road work.

What is the warranty on Honda engine?
Honda engine warranty is as per Honda India's policy - typically covers manufacturing defects. Engine warranty service is handled through authorized Honda service centers across India. We can guide you to the nearest Honda service center for any engine-related support.
Is this petrol or diesel?
This is a petrol engine - Honda GX390 runs on regular petrol. Petrol engines offer easier starting, cleaner operation, lower maintenance, and quieter running compared to diesel. Ideal for residential areas where diesel fumes would be problematic.
How does petrol compare to diesel for compaction?
For the same HP rating, both deliver similar power. Petrol advantages: easier starting, cleaner exhaust, lower maintenance, quieter operation, lighter engine. Diesel advantages: better fuel economy for extended use, higher torque. For light-duty work like driveways, petrol is often preferred.
What about spare parts availability?
Honda engine parts are available at authorized Honda service centers across India - one of the widest service networks for any engine brand. Roller body parts are available from Hutaib Machinery. This combination ensures you're never stranded.
How long does delivery take?
Delivery typically takes 3-7 days depending on your location in South India. Delivery charges are calculated based on actual distance and logistics costs. We'll provide exact delivery cost before confirming your order.
Can I use this for asphalt work?
The 1.5-ton can handle light asphalt patching and small areas. However, for professional asphalt road laying, we recommend 3-ton double drum rollers which provide more compaction force and smoother finish on asphalt surfaces.
What fuel consumption can I expect?
The Honda GX390 is known for excellent fuel efficiency. Actual consumption varies based on work intensity, but typically ranges from 1.5-2.5 liters per hour. Honda's engineering focuses on optimal fuel efficiency while maintaining full power output.
