What is a Vibrator Roller?

A vibrator roller is a large construction machine that is fitted with a large drum or roller and is used for compacting surfaces of soil or asphalt. It uses static or dynamic forces to increase its load-bearing capacity on the surface it needs to densify. Vibrator rollers are often used in the preparation of roads and surfaces in the construction industry.
