As this is a specialist piece of equipment, you'll need specific qualifications and a dedicated 360 excavator license issued in the UK by the Construction Plant Competence Scheme (CPCS) and the Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS). (If you're outside of the UK, the legislation may be different - so you should look into your country's specific requirements). Earning this license starts with a specialist college course or apprenticeship, then you must pass a CSCS Health and Safety test and theory and practical tests from the CPCS. Only then will you be issued with a Red CPCS Trained Operator license, which is the specific CSCS card for 360 excavator. You can find out more about this card here.

A compact roller is designed to compact soil or asphalt quickly and efficiently. This means a compact roller can cover large areas with minimal manpower, making them ideal for preparing the ground before or after construction work. Additionally, roller compaction ensures an even pressure on all services, meaning they can deal with weak or uneven spots and provide uniform compaction.

Roller compaction is also suitable for a wide range of applications, such as smoothing out material on areas such as sports fields or car parks, sealing asphalt, and building foundations. And finally, if you want to compact an area, there is practically no other alternative for a compact roller.
