A road roller is a heavy construction vehicle used to compact soil, gravel, or asphalt during the construction of roads and other surfaces. It typically has large, heavy drums that roll over the material, applying pressure to create a smooth and stable surface. Road rollers come in various types, including static rollers, vibratory rollers, and tandem rollers, each designed for specific tasks. These machines are essential in the construction industry, ensuring that surfaces are properly compacted to prevent future damage and maintain durability. Road rollers are often used in conjunction with other equipment, such as excavators and pavers, to complete road construction projects efficiently.
