Product Information

It shouldn’t be necessary to alter the load-sensing valve settings outside of the manufacturer’s pre-set limit to achieve a satisfactory brake result. Altering the LSV settings can lead to over-braking of the rear wheels which is a potential road safety hazard. 5.5 Secondary braking systems Knowing about the different types of rollers is important information for a construction project. To help you choose the right machine, we’ve broken down the different types of rollers and their uses below. You’ll need to decide what the vehicle’s braking needs are. These will help calculate brake performance. 3.5 For decelerometer if possible, use similar loads to add weight to the vehicle: this will help in placing the loads correctly, and achieve consistency between tests You can find guidance on loading vehicles adequately for the roller brake test on GOV.UK. This also provides guidance on vehicles which may reasonably be expected to be tested without a load such as a tri-axle semi-trailer, road sweeper or concrete mixer. Safety is crucially important

Where load simulators can’t be placed above the rear axles, vehicles or trailers - unless exempt by design - must be loaded when tested. This includes:

As with all our courses, we will adapt the course to suit the experience and number of candidates on the course, which may affect the duration.

Testing a vehicle’s braking performance is an important road safety aspect of the annual test and periodic maintenance inspections. As part of a Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGV - motor vehicles & trailers) annual test, DVSA carries out a roller brake test according to the ISO brake testing standard (21069). Use common sense, steam-cleaning the vehicle brake system immediately before test is highly likely to reduce the brake performance. 5.4 Load-sensing valve ( LSV) The Ride on Compactor Course establishes a good level of theory and operational procedures for safe use of the Compactor.Vibratory rollers are almost identical to smooth wheel rollers (including the single and double drum) except for one major difference: they come with a specialized vibrating component. As the roller compacts and flattens the surface, it will vibrate.

If a vehicle is properly loaded, there are two concessions in the HGV inspection manual that Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency ( DVSA) inspectors can make: After this date, a Vehicle Standards Assessor will refuse to test a vehicle which is not appropriately laden. You will lose the test fee and will need to re-present the vehicle or trailer correctly laden and pay for a new test. Sheepsfoot rollers, otherwise known as padfoot or tamping rollers, are rollers with many rectangular-shaped lugs, or “feet.” They’re great for compacting soil and silty clay in road construction work.During the Industrial Revolution, the steam engine was developed. This innovation allowed engineers to produce heavy-duty machines without relying on horses and people. These steamrollers were used for road construction and maintenance in many countries well into the 1960s. These steam-powered vehicles were replaced by gas and diesel-powered vehicles.

Nowadays, there are steam rollers still being used, but they are powered by internal combustion engines. These heavy machines are used to flatten tarmac and smoothen surface. They are large and slow-moving, so accidents with them are common. One such incident occurred in Delaware County last September. You’re also going to have to figure out the type of soil that’s going to be compacted. Fine-grain sand will need a different roller than clay. Plus, if you’re laying asphalt, you’re going to have to figure out if it’ll be better to have a static or a vibratory roller. This section does not cite any sources.

Present your vehicle loaded to at least 65% of design axle weight - unless exempt - and follow the DVSA brake test procedure. More guidance is available in the HGV inspection manual. 3.3 For computer controlled RBTs For this to work, special construction equipment is needed to properly compact and smooth the ground.This is a great improvement but more can still be done. TCs may consider taking action where an operator's test history is unsatisfactory.
