Description
Rollers are heavy construction equipment used for compaction of soil, concrete, gravel, crushed stone or asphalt on the surface of construction sites.
They are mainly used in road construction and creation of compact foundations in large construction sites and rely on their weight to compress the surface they are working on in combination with other mechanisms such as vibration and kneading.
There are various types of rollers used in compaction works with the choice depending on the job and material to be compressed.
Also known as static rollers, smooth wheeled rollers are made up of one steel drum in front and one or two at the back.
They are mostly used on soils that do not need a lot of pressure for compaction especially gravel, asphalt, crushed rock and well graded sand.
The performance of smooth wheeled rollers can be increased by filling the steel drums with water or concrete which increases their weight.
