What is the definition of a road roller?

As one of the specialized construction machines used to compact soil, rock, flatten the surface of bridges, roads, yards, warehouses, etc., road rollers help make the work efficiency of projects much easier and more productive. So what kind of vehicle is a road roller? Let Comacpro introduce it to you.

Road roller concept

A road roller is also known by other names, such as road roller, road roller. The main function of a road roller is to flatten the surface of roads, roads, yards, warehouses, and construction sites to be firm and not collapse.

In addition to working mainly at construction sites, this type of vehicle also serves a number of other projects, such as in industry, irrigation, transportation, agriculture, etc. related to ground compaction.

In addition to its main function, road rollers are also used to crush electronic products of unknown origin and smuggled goods.

General description of roller

A roller is essentially a large bulldozer equipped with crawler or tire tracks. It is capable of moving to difficult areas such as mountainous or swampy terrain to dig, compact and fill soil or other materials.

Rollers are classified based on the operation of the vehicle. Rollers are usually large in mass with one or two cylinders, with great compressive force. Some machines have vibrating cylinders to spread the material effectively.

The vehicle impacts the ground surface to compact and distribute evenly to make the surface of the soil and rock layers smooth and flat in construction works of roads, yards, airports, dykes, etc.

Some main uses of rollers that you need to know:

• Compact and level the ground surface
• Improve the durability and load-bearing capacity of the road surface
• Even uniform compaction helps increase the stability of the road surface or ground, reducing the risk of slipping or subsidence
• Prepare the surface for the next layers of materials by ensuring that the base layer is compacted and flat
• Save time and effort compared to manual compaction or other methods
