Claim:
A road roller having a front carriage and a rear carriage, which are interconnected by an articulated swivel joint, wherein the front carriage and the rear carriage have a front carriage frame and a rear carriage frame, wherein said front carriage frame and/or said rear carriage frame comprises a main beam extending horizontally in a longitudinal median plane of said road roller and at one end of which said articulated swivel joint is disposed, two side beams diverging from a free end of said main beam to form an upwardly oriented “V” in a mirror-inverted relationship about said longitudinal median plane, said side beams freely overhanging the free end of said main beam in such a manner that said side beams diverge from the main beam at an acute angle of spread α, the side beams together with the main beam thus forming a “Y” shape, and that the side beams are oriented upwards at an obtuse angle β in relation to the main beam, and load-bearing supports disposed at the free ends of said side beams in a direction parallel to said main beam which are configured for mounting a drum thereon.
