Use of the construction roller and information on its rental

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.

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

• Static rollers 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 these construction machines speeds up soil compaction, which is useful for 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 smooth drum vibratory rollers and circular rollers for hire. In addition, we have two other types of rollers to distinguish between, i.e. single drum rollers and double drum rollers.

These machines use only their own weight, without additional vibration. In addition, they are manually guided. Their operation is based on a simple but effective mechanism in which the weight of the roller exerts pressure on the soil, leading to compaction. Unlike vibratory rollers, which use vibration to intensify the compaction process, static rollers are used where the soil is less demanding and does not require additional vibration to achieve the desired density.

They are particularly effective in the compaction of low-moisture soil surfaces, such as sands or gravels, where the mass pressure is sufficient to compact the soil particles and increase the bearing capacity. Due to their simplicity, these machines are easy to operate and their design is highly reliable and durable. They are often used on smaller construction sites, access roads, car parks and also for foundation preparation work.

Vibratory rollers are advanced construction machines that, in addition to using their mass, generate additional vibration, which significantly increases the efficiency of the soil compaction process. Thanks to the vibration, these rollers interact with the soil particles, causing them to align better and fit more tightly, leading to a higher density of the subsoil in a shorter time.

The vibration in these rollers allows the compaction process to be significantly accelerated, which is invaluable for intensive construction work such as road building. Thanks to the adjustable vibration intensity, it is possible to adapt the machine to different soil types and compaction depths, making vibratory rollers extremely versatile in a wide range of construction work.

These rollers are useful for deep compaction of soil layers, which is crucial in the construction of stable and durable foundations. The vibrations generated by the roller interact with the depth of the soil, which allows for more uniform and efficient compaction, preventing subsequent settlement of the foundation. As a result, they are often used in large infrastructure projects such as road construction, airports or embankments, where the right quality and stability of the soil is crucial to the durability of the entire structure.

The decision to hire a construction roller is a great option for construction companies and individuals who are carrying out one-off or periodic projects. Ramirent Construction Equipment Rental offers a variety of models tailored to specific applications, allowing you to choose the perfect machine without incurring high purchase and maintenance costs.

Construction equipment rental company Ramirent offers flexible rental options that range from short-term rentals starting from one day to long-term rentals lasting up to several months.

The Ramirent construction equipment rental company offers delivery of the machine, which makes organising the work much easier.
