Twin Drum Roller Hire Overview
Our Twin Drum Roller hires include the Hamm HD8 VV
80cm Tandem Roller and the Hamm HD12 VV, 120cm Tandem Roller, which provide operators with an excellent view thanks to their concave front chassis. These compactors are favoured by operators due to their modern instrument panel and low working platform, which ensures high stability. Additionally, they are designed with a 3-point swivel joint for enhanced driving comfort.
These machines are ideal for asphalt compaction in road construction and repair projects, landscaping, and various applications where a smooth, compacted surface is needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Compaction Roller Used For ?
Compaction is a process designed to expel moisture and air from a material while concurrently rearranging its particulate structure. This is achieved by compressing larger particles to fill the voids between them, thereby increasing the overall density of the material. Compaction rollers play a crucial role in this process, as they are specifically engineered to compact various materials, including soil and asphalt. The primary objectives of using a compaction roller are to enhance the load-bearing capacity of the surface, minimize settling or shifting of materials, improve stability, and reduce the infiltration of water.
The term “compaction rollers” is an umbrella designation that encompasses different types of rollers, each operating on distinct principles. This includes tandem rollers, which consist of two parallel drums, and soil compactors, which may operate using either vibratory or static forces. Each type is tailored for specific applications, maximizing efficiency and effectiveness in compaction tasks.
What Are the Uses of Construction Rollers ?
Construction rollers are versatile machines utilised predominantly for compacting materials such as soil, asphalt, and gravel. They can be employed in two primary compaction methods: static roller compaction and dynamic roller compaction (or vibratory).
Static roller compaction is ideal for surface-level applications where depth is not a concern. It distributes weight evenly across the area, providing a smooth surface crucial for projects like parking lots and pathways.
Dynamic roller compaction involves the use of vibrations to achieve compaction at greater depths, making it particularly effective in preparing the subgrade for heavy structures such as roads, railways, and bridges.
Consequently, construction rollers are indispensable tools in the construction of infrastructure, including roads, airports, railway systems, buildings, bridges, sports fields, and pedestrian pathways.
What Are the Benefits of Roller Compaction ?
The design of a compact roller allows it to efficiently and rapidly compact soil or asphalt, offering several advantages. One of the most significant benefits is the ability to cover extensive areas with minimal labor input, which considerably streamlines the process of preparing ground for various construction activities.
Furthermore, roller compaction ensures uniform pressure distribution across the entire surface, enabling it to address weak or uneven spots effectively. This leads to a consistent level of compaction, which is vital for the structural integrity of the finished project.
The applications of roller compaction are diverse and include tasks such as leveling materials on sports fields, sealing asphalt surfaces, and establishing stable foundations for buildings. In scenarios where soil or asphalt needs to be compacted, the compact roller is often the preferred choice due to its efficiency and effectiveness.
How deep can a roller compact ?
Dynamic soil compaction, an established technique that employs heavy single-drum rollers or substantial compaction plates, has been a cornerstone practice on earthworks sites for many decades. This method is instrumental in increasing the density and load-bearing capacity of soil, thereby providing a reliable and stable foundation for subsequent construction activities. However, the effectiveness of this compaction technique is significantly influenced by the type of soil in question. For instance, cohesive soils, such as clays, may respond differently compared to granular soils, like sands or gravels. Generally, the technique achieves effective compaction depths of up to 1 meter, underscoring the need for a nuanced understanding of soil properties to optimise compaction outcomes and ensure the integrity of the groundwork.
