What Is A Roller?

Rollers are a compaction tool that can be used in a range of applications. As a leading hire company, we carry a large range of rollers on offer to ensure we can meet the needs of all our clients.

As a compaction tool, rollers are commonly used to smooth surfaces such as soil or asphalt so that additional work can be done on the site. Smaller models, such as standard garden rollers, which are used in small areas, can be carried by a standard car. You will need to add to your insurance to do this, however, and our team can help with this.

Larger models, such as the roller used for asphalt on footpaths or other public spaces, cannot be pulled by a car. These may be driven rollers, or additional equipment will be needed to get the job done.

As a leading hire service, we have a large availability of all rollers, including those suitable for large and small areas. We have the ideal tool for you and aim to offer a great price, VAT included.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which roller is best for compaction?

All rollers are designed for compaction, but it depends on what kind of surface it is being used on.

For example, some rollers may be better suited to compacting soil compared to asphalt.

What is a 10 ton roller?

This mechanical roller is commonly used on footpaths and roads, compacting asphalt to make smooth areas. This kind of roller is suitable for a range of tasks, as it not the largest we have on offer.

It can also be used on driveways, compacting both soil and asphalt to create a flat surface which is ideal for laying concrete.

How much does a 1200 roller weigh?

A standard 1200 roller weighs 2,700 kg. This is a large compaction tool that is commonly used for the smoothing of asphalt on roads and footpaths.

You will likely find these rollers on a construction site, as they are ideal for large surface areas.

How deep can a roller compact?

How deep a roller can compact depends on the size and drum width you choose. For example, a small garden roller will not be able to compact surfaces like asphalt or soil as deep as a construction model like the 1200 roller.

Which such a large range available, we can help you find the tool that is ideal for the job you need to get done.

Can I use a roller instead of a compactor?

A roller is an ideal tool to use for compaction because it has similar properties. What sets these two apart is the fact that a roller is usually a ride-on device, meaning you will steer and control it like a car, whereas a compactor is usually smaller.

Please note that the sizes of both these tools can vary, which can impact what they can be used for.

What are the two main methods of compacting concrete?

There are two main methods of compacting concrete or asphalt, which are mechanical compaction or shock or drop. Mechanical compaction will be done using rollers like those we have available to rent.

However you choose to compact your site, make sure you are prepared with insurance and safety footwear.

What type of roller is used for concrete?

Roller thickness varies and this needs to be considered when finding the right one. The thickness determines whether rollers can be used for concrete and asphalt or just soil.

There are various rollers that are ideal to use on concrete, but these will be mechanical.

Can you compact gravel with a roller?

You can use rollers to compact gravel and make your site more stable. A garden roller may be ideal for a small area, as long as it has a good drum width, but please note you may need something tougher.
