Enhancing Operations: The Versatility and Efficiency of Yellow Hire’s Wheel Loaders

Compaction rollers also known as vibratory compactors are used to rearrange soil particles to increase density and decrease void, providing the soil with load-bearing strength. When filling an area to be rolled, the layers of soil beneath the working area are called lifts. The ability of the first few lifts to be compacted depends on the composition of the materials within the soil. If these are not compacted adequately, settlement cracks will occur in the fill and the surface above, or any structure that is supported by the surface.

You may have seen a roller in action when a road is being resurfaced. You may recall the wheel at the front (the drum) crushes and flattens the surface. Depending on the job that is to be undertaken, along with how big the project is and the type of soil that is being compacted, the type of roller will vary. The two most common rollers are the smooth roller and the padfoot roller.
