RAYGO RASCAL ROAD ROLLER
Massive self-propelled road rollers for the construction industry are the speciality of RayGo Inc. of Minneapolis. Two heavy models with vibrating rollers are offered, the smaller weighing 17,5000 lb. and the larger 28,800 lb. The machines are driven by big Diesel engines mounted at the rear and the vibrating drums are powered by separate hydraulic units. Controlled vibration improves the compaction of certain soils, speeding up the whole operation of building motorways, airfields and deep foundations, applying a total force of up to 30 tons. Very large diameter pneumatic "flotation" tyres at the rear and hydraulic power-steering give good handling over all surface.
