Q1: What types of road rollers does Archer Machinery supply?
We offer a comprehensive range of brand-new road rollers, including Single Drum Vibratory Rollers for sub-base compaction, Tandem (Double Drum) Rollers for asphalt finishing, and Pneumatic Tire Rollers for sealing. Our lineup features world-class brands like XCMG, SANY, and SHANTUI.
Q2: How do I choose the right tonnage for my road project?
The required weight depends on the material and thickness of the layer. Mini rollers (1-3 tons) are perfect for patching and walkways, while heavy-duty 12-22 ton rollers are essential for highway and dam construction. Our experts can help you match the compaction width and static linear load to your engineering specs.
Q3: What are the advantages of Hydraulic vs. Mechanical drive rollers?
New full-hydraulic road rollers offer smoother start-stops and superior gradeability, which is crucial for preventing asphalt rippling. While mechanical drive models are cost-effective and easy to maintain, hydraulic models provide better compaction consistency and operator comfort with joystick controls.
Q4: Can these rollers be equipped with Padfoot (Sheep’s Foot) shells?
Yes. For cohesive soil or clay compaction, we can provide Padfoot drum versions or removable Padfoot shell kits for our single drum rollers. This versatility allows a single machine to handle both rock-fill and clay-rich terrains effectively.
Q5: How can I order replacement vibration pumps or rubber buffers?
To ensure your roller maintains its maximum excitation force, using genuine parts is vital. You can find high-quality rubber vibration dampers, hydraulic pumps, and engine filters for all major brands through our parts website: www.archerparts.com.
