Core Purpose: Mainly used for compaction of subgrade, base courses and other non-pavement layers.

Specific Applications

• Subgrade compaction: Compaction of clay, sand, gravel soil and other filled subgrades.

• Base / sub-base compaction: Semi-rigid bases such as gravel base and cement-stabilized base.

• Sand, gravel and crushed stone layers: Large-area, thick-lift foundation compaction.

• Slopes, embankments, site leveling: Large sites, parking lots, factory road foundations.

Not Suitable For

Generally not used directly for asphalt surface courses (easy to cause displacement and cracking).

One-sentence memory tip

Single-drum rollers compact subgrade, foundation and gravel, not asphalt surfaces.
