Ride-On Rollers
Buy Ride-On Rollers
Ride-On Rollers are the preferred choice for large-scale compaction on road construction, earthworks, and heavy civil projects where productivity and consistent compaction depth matter. Capable of covering significant ground at pace, they deliver the drum weight and vibration output needed for granular fill, sub-base layers, and asphalt. Wenbro’s Ride-On Rollers are kept in full working condition by our in-house maintenance team, making them a reliable long-term buy for contractors who can’t afford downtime. For smaller or more confined applications, take a look at our Pedestrian Rollers or Plate Compactors.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are Ride-On Rollers typically used for?
Ride-On Rollers are commonly used for compacting granular sub-base, gravel, sand, and asphalt on road construction and large earthmoving projects. They’re suited to open, flat terrain where machine size isn’t a constraint and compaction output needs to be high.
What’s the difference between a Ride-On Roller and a Pedestrian Roller?
Ride-On Rollers are larger, operator-driven machines suited to wide open areas and high-output compaction. Pedestrian Rollers are walk-behind units better suited to driveways, pathways, and areas where a larger machine can’t manoeuvre easily.
What drum configurations are available on Ride-On Rollers?
Common configurations include single-drum and tandem double-drum rollers. Single-drum units typically combine a steel vibratory drum with rubber tyres for earthworks, while tandem rollers are widely used on asphalt finishing. Contact Wenbro on 087 073 7777 to discuss which configuration suits your project.
Can Ride-On Rollers compact cohesive soils like clay?
Vibratory Ride-On Rollers can compact cohesive soils, though pad-foot or sheepsfoot drum options are generally more effective on clay-heavy ground. For trench backfill in cohesive material, a Rammer is often the better tool.
Does Wenbro service the Ride-On Rollers they sell?
Yes, Wenbro’s in-house maintenance team services all machinery sold through us. This keeps your machine performing to spec and reduces unplanned downtime on site. Call 087 073 7777 to discuss a service schedule.
