Steamroller
A steamroller (or steam roller) is a form of road roller – a type of heavy construction machinery used for levelling surfaces, such as roads or airfields – that is powered by a  steam engine. The levelling/flattening action is achieved through a combination of the size and weight of the vehicle and the rolls: the smooth wheels and the large cylinder or drum fitted in place of treaded road wheels.

Una apisonadora o aplanadora es una máquina pesada que consta de un tractor y de un cilindro de gran peso que va delante y funciona a modo de rueda delantera. En España las más potentes son fabricadas por Lebrero.Las apisonadoras se utilizan en construcción para compactar materiales. Son imprescindibles durante la construcción de carreteras, tanto en la sub-base como en las mezclas asfálticas, siendo utilizadas también para alisar superficies u otro tipo de tareas en obras diversas.
