An attachment for a host vehicle includes an attachment plate configured to attach to the host vehicle and a boom coupled to the attachment plate by way of a pivot hinge and a lift hinge. A pivot actuator is coupled to the attachment plate and to the boom and configured to horizontally transition the boom about the pivot hinge, and a lift actuator is coupled to the attachment plate and to the boom and configured to vertically transition the boom about the lift hinge.

A skid steer rolling compactor attachment may include a universal attachment plate configured to attach to the skid steer. A boom extending from the attachment plate may pivot about at least one articulating hinge attached to the boom. The boom may be configured to move a roller to compact a ground surface as the skid steer travels in a forward direction. In order to prevent roll-overs on uneven surfaces, the skid steer may be operated on a level surface and articulate the boom such that the roller contacts the ground parallel to the direction of travel. The skid steer may then compact inclined surfaces while travelling on level surfaces thus improving worker safety.

The present invention relates to a ground compaction apparatus for compacting a subsoil cover layer, with at least one compaction roller, a cover edge processing apparatus comprising an edge processing roller and having a cut material deflector, the cut material deflector being mounted on the cover edge processing apparatus with the aid of a mounting device, the mounting device being configured such that the relative position of the at least one material guide surface of the cut material deflector can be changed automatically with respect to the adjustable roller holding device of the cover edge processing apparatus. The present invention also relates to an asphalt roller having such a ground compaction apparatus and a method for operating such a ground compaction apparatus.

Provided herein are embodiments of an attachment for a host vehicle. The attachment includes an attachment plate configured to attach to the host vehicle and a boom coupled to the attachment plate by way of a pivot hinge and a lift hinge. A pivot actuator is coupled to the attachment plate and to the boom and configured to horizontally transition the boom about the pivot hinge, and a lift actuator is coupled to the attachment plate and to the boom and configured to vertically transition the boom about the lift hinge.

A rolling compactor attachment configured for use with a host vehicle. The host vehicle has a front with a first side and a second side. The rolling compactor attachment includes an attachment plate configured to attach to the front of the host vehicle such that the attachment plate is stationary relative to the host vehicle. A boom includes a first end that coupled to the attachment plate. A roller is coupled to a second end of the boom. The boom is configured to position the roller laterally beyond at least one of the first side or the second side, and the roller is configured to tilt about the second end of the boom such that the roller is able to compact an inclined or declined slope.

A compaction machine includes a frame and at least one compaction member rotatably mounted to the frame. The compaction machine also includes at least one pneumatic tire movably coupled to the frame. The at least one pneumatic tire is disposed on at least one of a first side and a second side of the at least one compaction member and adjacent to an edge of the at least one compaction member. The at least one pneumatic tire is adapted to selectively move between a deployed position and a retracted position. In the retracted position, the at least one pneumatic tire is raised relative to a work surface. In the deployed position, the at least one pneumatic tire is adapted to provide selective compaction of a portion of the work surface.

A road finishing machine comprises a screed, which includes at least one compacting unit. The road finishing machine furthermore comprises a GNSS receiver, as well as a material conveyor. The road finishing machine furthermore comprises an electronic control system which comprises a memory and a data processor, wherein in the memory, digital construction data, in particular a nominal height profile of a road pavement to be finished, are stored. The control system is configured to automatically control, based on the construction data, an actuator mechanism provided on the road finishing machine, in particular a levelling cylinder and/or a transverse camber adjustment and/or a slope adjustment and/or a berm adjustment, in order to install laying material with the nominal height profile and thereby a defined transverse profile for the respective position coordinate point of the road finishing machine determined with the GNSS receiver.

A scarifier device includes a scarifier comprising a scarifier support frame having a plurality of downwardly depending axially secured scarifying teeth. An integrated roller device having a compaction roller on a roller support frame is pivotally coupled to the scarifier support frame. A hydraulic arm is positioned between the scarifier support frame and the roller support frame to articulate the roller device between a deployed position and a retracted position. Methods of making and using the scarifier device are also disclosed.
