Rollers
Effective compaction is the foundation of any construction project, and SEM Hire Specs provides the technical data needed to ensure density requirements are met. Our section on rollers covers smooth drum, padfoot, and multi-tyred rollers, listing specifications such as drum width, static linear load, and centrifugal force. These details allow engineers and site managers to calculate compaction performance accurately, ensuring the chosen equipment is capable of achieving the necessary soil or asphalt density.

Rollers Frequently Asked Questions
Achieving the correct soil density requires matching the roller’s physical properties to the material type. These FAQs explore the technical distinctions found in our specification sheets to help you make an informed decision.
Smooth drum rollers rely on static pressure and vibration for granular soils (sand, gravel) and asphalt. Padfoot rollers have tapered lugs on the drum that penetrate the soil, making them essential for compacting cohesive soils like clay and silt.
Centrifugal force measures the compaction energy generated by the vibrating drum. A higher centrifugal force allows the machine to achieve deeper compaction lifts, meaning you can compact thicker layers of soil in fewer passes.
Static linear load is the weight of the roller divided by the width of the drum. This spec indicates the “squeezing” force the roller applies when not vibrating, which is critical for finishing passes and asphalt work.
Many smooth drum rollers listed in our specs can accept a ‘padfoot shell kit,’ which clamps over the smooth drum to convert it for use on cohesive soil. Check the model details to see if this versatility is available.
