Types of Rollers for Hire

At iseekplant, you’ll find many 3 point rollers, pad foot rollers, multi tyred rollers, and smooth drum rollers for hire throughout the country. Below is a quick description of the roller, and a table discussing the ideal applications of each type of roller.

Smooth Drum Roller

A [smooth drum roller]](https://www.iseekplant.com.au/smooth-drum-roller-hire) is a heavy-duty compaction machine with smooth drums designed for leveling and compacting surfaces. It’s the most common type of roller, suitable for compacting a variety of materials such as soil, gravel, and asphalt. Many models now include centrifugal force technology for improved compaction efficiency.

Multi-Tyred Roller

Also known as a pneumatic roller, a multi tyred roller features multiple tyres that evenly distribute weight to effectively compact and level surfaces. Often used as a finishing roller, it’s suitable for compacting asphalt and final soil preparation. Some models include an emergency stop button for enhanced safety.

Padfoot Roller

A pad foot roller, or sheepsfoot roller, features drums with protruding pads, making it ideal for compacting clay and other cohesive soils. It works best in the early stages of compaction, where loosely packed aggregates require deeper compression.

3 Point Roller

This compact roller uses three points of ground contact for effective compaction of soil and asphalt in smaller projects or confined spaces. Its design makes it suitable for jobs requiring precise maneuverability.

Marco Roller

The marco roller is designed for high-efficiency compaction over large areas. Its wide drums and high-compaction force make it perfect for tasks like airport runway construction. With features like centrifugal force, it’s often seen in large-scale applications where precision is critical.

Common Roller Attachments

Our suppliers who specialise in compaction usually have a plethora of special attachments and vibration equipment that can be hired alongside the roller to increase its efficacy.

Double Drum

At iseekplant, we don't consider double drum rollers a different type of roller - we consider it an attachment to either a smooth drum roller, or a padfoot. You can therefore find double drum rollers by selecting the attachments in the refinement panel on the left hand side of the directory.

A double drum roller, with two steel cylinder rollers positioned in the front and back, offers increased power and efficiency for preparing and refining surfaces, making it ideal for heavy-duty asphalt applications.

Articulated

A roller can be made to be articulated by incorporating an articulation joint, which enables the drum or tires to pivot independently, allowing for better maneuverability and improved weight distribution over uneven terrain.

Vibration System

A vibration system attachment on a roller is a mechanical feature that generates controlled vibrations to enhance the compaction process by increasing soil or asphalt density.
