  • Publication number: 20230304231
    Abstract: A soil compactor includes two compactor rollers arranged at a distance from one another in the direction of a longitudinal axis of the soil compactor and rotatable around a respective roller axis of rotation, each compactor roller is operable in an oscillatory compaction mode in which the vibration excitation arrangement assigned to a respective compactor roller is operated in the oscillatory vibration excitation mode, in a vibratory compaction mode in which the vibration excitation arrangement assigned to a respective compactor roller is operated in the vibratory vibration excitation mode, and in a static compaction mode in which the vibration excitation arrangement is deactivated.
