In municipal road maintenance, the skid loader attachment road roller can efficiently cope with narrow working conditions with its flexible steering characteristics, becoming an important tool for urban road maintenance.1. Technical principle: synergy of skid steering and compact designSkid steering technology: The skid loader adopts a hydraulically driven independent wheel steering system, and the wheels on both sides can achieve in-situ steering or extremely small radius turning through differential speed. Its steering radius is less than half of that of the same level of articulated loaders, and it can even complete 360° in-situ steering. This feature makes it highly maneuverable in narrow spaces.Compact attachment design: The road roller attachment and the skid loader adopt a quick connection system, which can be switched within 30 seconds. The attachment itself is compactly designed, such as the width of a small vibrating steel wheel is usually no more than 1 meter and the height is less than 1.5 meters, ensuring that it will not exceed space limitations when operating in narrow sidewalks, non-motorized vehicle lanes or bridge expansion joints.2. Application scenarios: Accurately adapt to complex urban working conditionsNarrow road repair: In the maintenance of old urban roads, the skid steer loader road roller can easily enter the lanes with a width of only 2 meters and compact the potholes in layers. Its low body (height less than 2 meters) can enter the top of the underground pipe gallery to avoid interference with surrounding facilities.Intersections and bridge expansion joints: Through the in-situ steering function, the equipment can complete the U-turn in an area with a radius of less than 1 meter, accurately compact the expansion joints of bridges or the edges of intersection diversion islands, and avoid the missed areas caused by the large turning radius of traditional road rollers.Sidewalks and non-motorized vehicle lanes: The lightweight design (the weight of the whole machine is usually no more than 3 tons) enables it to operate in areas with limited bearing capacity. At the same time, it can adapt to different thickness bases through vibration frequency adjustment (such as 20-50Hz) to avoid damage to existing road surfaces.3. Advantage analysis: Double improvement of efficiency and safetyEfficiency improvement: Taking a certain brand of skid steer loader road roller as an example, its operating efficiency can reach 120 square meters per hour, which is 40% higher than the efficiency of traditional road rollers in narrow areas. The hydraulic travel brake function can achieve "hands-off stop", reducing repeated operations caused by operating errors.Safety guarantee: The equipment is equipped with a safety self-locking system and a cab rollover protection structure (ROPS), which can effectively prevent rollover when working on slopes or uneven roads. The low center of gravity design and all-wheel drive system (without inter-wheel differential) ensure stability when working on undulating roads.Cost optimization: Compared with traditional road rollers, the purchase cost of skid loader road rollers is reduced by about 30%, and the fuel efficiency is higher (fuel consumption is less than 5 liters per 100 kilometers). Its versatility (quick switching of accessories such as sweepers and breakers) further reduces the idle rate of equipment.The skid steer loader attachment road roller has shown significant advantages in municipal road maintenance through skid steering technology, compact attachment design and flexible power distribution system. Its high efficiency, safety and economic characteristics make it an essential tool for urban refined maintenance, especially in complex working conditions with limited space, which can significantly improve work efficiency and quality.
