Sheepsfoot Towed Roller

A Sheepsfoot Towed Roller is a type of construction equipment that falls under the supply class of Miscellaneous Construction Equipment in the supply group of Construction, Mining, Excavating, and Highway Maintenance Equipment.

A Sheepsfoot Towed Roller is specifically designed for compacting soil, asphalt, and other materials during construction and road maintenance projects. It consists of a heavy cylindrical drum with protruding "feet" or pads that resemble a sheep's footprints, hence the name.

The purpose of the sheepsfoot design is to create a kneading and compressing action on the material being compacted. As the roller moves forward, the feet penetrate the material, breaking up any air voids and compacting it effectively. This helps to achieve a more stable and durable surface.

Sheepsfoot Towed Rollers are commonly used in road construction, highway maintenance, and other projects where compaction is necessary. They are often towed behind a vehicle or attached to a tractor for easy transportation and maneuverability.

Overall, Sheepsfoot Towed Rollers play a crucial role in achieving proper compaction and ensuring the longevity and stability of construction projects.
