This machine is designed for larger slabs and pavers that are non-tumbled with smooth surfaces, have clean lines or have chamfered edges that can sometimes chip or crack easily if using a traditional tamper for final compaction over the pavers.
Features of the Weber VPR 700 Paver Roller include:
- Optimal weight distribution across PU rollers
- Prevents shifting, cracking and chipping
- Minimizes dust from compacting polymeric jointing sands
- Rubber-coated rollers protect the surface of the installed material
