Smooth Wheeled Rollers

A large steel drum at the front and two smaller wheels at the rear, these rollers are used for consolidating gravel, sand, ballast and surface dressings, faster than other rollers.

Pneumatic Tyred Rollers

A heavily loaded wagon that provides uniform pressure on cold laid, bituminous pavements, layers of loose soil or for soft base materials of a coarse nature.

Sheepsfoot Rollers

On this roller there are many protrusions on the roller drum itself. It is used to compact cohesive soils such as heavy or silt clay in preparation for another roller to smooth the surface.

Vibrating Rollers

Sometimes used for asphaltic concrete projects but mostly for compacting base courses of a granular nature. Vibrating rollers are fitted with two smooth surfaced wheels. Ardent stocks all these rollers as part of our comprehensive fleet. To hear more about our range of rollers for hire, contact our expert team.
