There are two types of Compaction Wheel types – the Compaction Wheel and the Compaction Roller – both completely different in their applications – which one do you need?
Compaction Wheels are designed to deliver optimal performance through quicker compaction – more particularly in trenches. They deliver exceptional compaction on the toughest terrains, under the harshest conditions, while lasting longer, using less fuel and minimising operational costs.
Compaction Wheels are designed to reinstate material to its original condition after remedial work has been carried out or pipes have been laid.
Apart from different designs of wheels for various applications, there are some interesting designs of pads, some efficient, and some unfortunate. The ideal design are pads that are tapered from the flat surface to the back where they are welded to the wheel or roller so that they do not “lift” the compacted material as they roll over the surface.
