Years A road roller is essential for road construction, airport runways, or parking lots—but it’s also expensive. The average roller lasts 8-10 years, but Shanbo’s clients report 15+ years of use with proper maintenance. As a supplier of road rollers and construction machinery, we’ve compiled 4 easy-to-follow maintenance tips to save you money on replacements.
The drum (the part that presses the road) collects asphalt, soil, or gravel—if left uncleaned, it hardens and damages the drum’s surface. Here’s how to clean it:
For asphalt: Use diesel (small amount) to dissolve the asphalt, then wipe with a cloth.
For soil/gravel: Rinse with water (avoid high-pressure jets—they damage the drum’s paint).
For Shanbo rollers: The drum has a “self-cleaning” design (small scrapers) to reduce buildup—check the scrapers weekly and replace if worn.
60% of roller breakdowns come from hydraulic system failures. Shanbo recommends:
Check hydraulic fluid level every 3 days: Use the dipstick (located on the hydraulic tank) and add fluid if it’s below the “MIN” line (use Shanbo’s recommended hydraulic oil—ISO VG 46).
Replace hydraulic filters every 6 months: Clogged filters cause pressure buildup and leakages.
Inspect hoses for cracks: Cold weather (below 0℃) makes hoses brittle—replace them if you see cracks (Shanbo sells cold-resistant hoses for winter use).
A well-maintained engine uses less fuel and runs smoother. Follow this schedule for Shanbo road rollers:
Oil change: Every 500 operating hours (use 15W-40 oil for most climates; 5W-30 for cold regions).
Air filter: Clean every 100 hours, replace every 500 hours (dirty filters reduce engine power).
Spark plugs (for gasoline engines): Replace every 1000 hours (check for corrosion monthly).
The roller’s frame and wheels absorb vibration during operation—over time, this causes loose bolts or bent parts.
Tighten bolts: Check the frame bolts (around the drum and engine) every 200 hours—use a torque wrench to ensure they’re tight.
Inspect wheels: For rubber-tired rollers, check tire pressure weekly (30 PSI is standard for Shanbo models). For steel wheels, remove debris from the wheel gaps to avoid uneven pressing.
If you’re too busy to handle maintenance, Shanbo offers:
Annual maintenance contracts: Our technicians visit your site to service the roller (engine, hydraulic system, drum).
Free maintenance training: Teach your team how to do basic checks (via video calls or on-site).
