Multi Tyre Rollers

The multi-tyred roller is a road compactor that uses pneumatic tires to compact the surface, with several tires working together to achieve the desired compaction. Unlike the steel drum rollers, the multi-tyred rollers have pneumatic tyres which deflect slightly and apply a kneading effect that when rolled, compacts the material more effectively, reducing air voids and improving density. Most construction equipment will use the lighting models you well know to achieve a smooth, well-bonded surface, such as in asphalt paving, soil compaction, and road construction. The adjustable tire pressure enables different compaction levels depending on project needs.

Multi Tyred Roller Hire Guides

You can find a collection of articles and guides here covering multi-tyred rollers – how do they work and how do they get used for asphalt compaction and road construction.
A pneumatic roller uses air filled rubber tyres instead of a steel drum to compact asphalt, granular base material and lightly cohesive soils. It’s one of the machines Quotor helps contractors source, from a small resurfacing job to a full construction project. This guide covers how they work, where they’re used, how they compare, and what to weigh up before hiring one.

Choose the Roller for Your Job

From small site work to large-scale earthmoving. Select the category that fits your job.

Smooth Drum Rollers

Those drum rollers are designed for flattening and compacting asphalt and prepare granular soils such as gravel.

Padfoot Rollers

Used for the compaction of cohesive and mixed soils, with features like tapered pads for improved soil stability.

Double Drum Rollers

These roller are perfect for large roadworks and asphalt projects, offering double the efficiency of the conventional single-drum roller.

Multi Tyre Rollers

Utilize air filled tires that provide even pressure, ideal for surface finishing and asphalt sealing.

Trench Rollers

These are remote-controlled compact rollers designed for trench work, foundations, and confined spaces where precision is required.

Combination Rollers

A flexible machine with both a smooth drum and pneumatic tyres for various compaction applications.

3 Point Roller​s

Heavy-duty machines with three metal drums, used mainly in road construction for compaction of large areas of soil, gravel, and asphalt.

Soil Compactors

A specialised piece of earthmoving machinery for heavy-duty compacting operations.
