When it comes to asphalt roller maintenance, the old adage "an ounce of prevention prevents a pound of cure" applies, says Tom Meyer, manager of marketing and sales support with Vibromax America Inc.
"Poor maintenance may result in a breakdown while the unit is on the job," says Meyer. "You'll incur downtime and have the added expense of repairing the unit at the jobsite or transporting a replacement unit."
Steven Spence, compaction product manager with Multiquip, agrees, noting, "Failing to maintain asphalt rollers keeps them in the shop, not on the job."
Not only will regular maintenance of your asphalt rollers keep them performing, it will also extend the life of the machine and provide a greater return on your investment.
"Neglecting regular maintenance can result in hard engine starting, poor performance or system failure," says Dave Dennison, service manager with Bomag Light Equipment.
