ABSTRACT

Rubber Tired Roller The maximum weight of this roller may reach 2000 kN. The smaller rollers usually have 9 to 11 tires on two axles with the tires spaced so that a complete coverage is obtained with each pass. The tire loads of the smaller roller are in the range of 7.5 kN and the tire pressures in the order of 200 kN/m2• The larger rollers have tire loads ranging from 100 to 500 kN per tire, and tire pressures range from 400 to 1000 kN/m2.
