How does a construction roller work?


The construction roller works by pressing the surface with its mass and, in some models, additionally generating vibration, which results in the compaction of the soil or pavement. In this way, it improves the stability and load-bearing capacity of the ground, which is crucial in the construction of roads, car parks or foundations.

What types of construction rollers are there?


Construction rollers are divided into several types, depending on their mode of operation and purpose. The main types are:

  • Static rollers are machines that use only their weight to compact the ground. They are used in less demanding soils that do not need vibration. They are characterised by their simplicity and efficiency.
  • Vibratory rollers are machines that generate vibrations in addition to their mass, thereby increasing compaction efficiency. The vibration in vibratory rollers speeds up soil compaction, which is useful in intensive construction work such as roads and foundations.
  • Circular rollers are specialised machines that have a working surface fitted with protruding spikes. They effectively compact difficult cohesive soils, such as clays or loams, thanks to the spikes that penetrate the substrate.
  • Pneumatic rollers are machines that are equipped with air-filled rubber tyres instead of traditional steel drums. Thanks to the rubber tyres, they press down evenly on the pavement, making them ideal for compacting asphalt and flexible pavements, ensuring high quality compaction without risk of damage.

In Ramirent's range of products, you can only find vibratory rollers with a smooth roller and a circular roller for hire. In addition, we have two other types of roller that can be distinguished, i.e. single drum and double drum rollers.
