ADDITIONAL BALLAST
The outer ends of each roller is equipped with an access plug allowing them to be filled with a
water in order to provide extra ballast. Each roller has a maximum capacity of 1000 litres; if both
are filled to capacity this would provide an additional overall rolling weight of approximately 2
tonnes.
The rollers can be filled to any level to suit requirements but the amount of ballast used in each
must always be equal so that the rolling is even during work, and the machine is evenly
balanced for transportation.
It is important that any water in the rollers is drained prior to storage, and vital before winter
storage
– failure to observe this can result in serious damage to the rollers should any water in
them freeze.
It is not recommended that oils, chemicals or other hazardous liquids be used in the rollers for
ballast as there are environmental risks involved in subsequently attempting to drain them.
