  • Patent number: 11384488
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10087587
    Abstract: 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.
