Compaction wheels, also known as sheepsfoot rollers are great tools for compressing fine grained soils such as clay. Being mounted on an excavator, and with a narrow wheel design and clubfoot lugs, these rollers can generate far more pressure and downward force than a standard hand operated roller, meaning the ground is compacted harder and compacted quicker.

Its smooth operation provides safe reassurance when working near pipes, lines and foundations. They are also more likely to prevent soil bridging from occurring as compaction wheels compact soil from the bottom up, breaking up the soil and filling voids in the soil as it rotates. They also provide the same level of compaction regardless of the speed applied. The mixing and kneading operation of the wheel helps to distribute soil moisture and provides a uniform soil consistency for better compaction.

Ideal for compacting heavier soils and stabilising subgrade layers or trenches, excavator mounted compaction wheels can apply large amounts of pressure to a small surface area and, in the right application, can compress heavier soils more effectively than plate compactors.

With a completely mechanical design these rollers are almost 100% failure proof and require no maintenance due to the sealed housing. The roller bearings inside are self aligning and lubricate themselves as they're used.
