A roller is a machine used to compact or smooth soil or asphalt. It consists of a roller equipped with one or more cylinders, which can be either static or vibrating. Rollers are usually used on construction sites to prepare the subgrade or asphalt before it is covered with additional layers.
There are different types of rollers designed for different applications. For example, smooth rollers are used to create a smooth surface, while vibrating rollers are used to compact the soil or asphalt and provide greater stability.
There are also special rollers such as tamping rollers that further compact the soil by pressing down on it with high force. Another type of roller is the paving roller, which is used to compact paving stones or concrete pavers.
Rollers can be guided by hand or pulled by a machine. Larger rollers are often pulled by construction equipment such as excavators or crawler tractors to work large areas quickly.
