Vibromax Compacting Machines

This large group of machines varies in size from little hand held tampers that look a bit like vacuum cleaners right through to massive single drum compactors that can flatten an area the size of a football pitch in a matter of hours!

No matter the size, they've all got one thing in common - they help to flatten and compact the ground. The larger machines are often referred to as Road Rollers - they have a single large drum at the front and two chunky tyres at the back. The drum vibrates to different settings meaning that they help to compact ground/soil/materials on streets, roads, building sites and even new airport runways. These boys may be slow, but you wouldn't mess with them!
