Which roller type is best for compacting rock, large grains, and till?

The grid roller is the most effective choice for compacting rock, large grains, and till due to its specific design that allows for maximum penetration and compaction of coarse materials. It features a series of heavy metal bars that create a grid-like surface, which exerts pressure on the ground as it rolls. This design enables it to break down larger clumps and aggregate particles, facilitating the compaction of uneven surfaces typically found in rocky or granular soils.

Additionally, the grid roller can operate effectively in environments where traditional smooth drum rollers may struggle, as it can crush and compact large granular materials without the risk of slipping that might affect other types of rollers. The weight and grid pattern work together to achieve a more uniform density in the material being compacted, making it the preferred option for such challenging substrates.

This capability makes it particularly suited for projects involving road base preparation, construction of foundations, and various earthwork applications where stability and load-bearing capacity are paramount.
