Frequently asked questions
How much does single drum roller hire cost?
Ride-on single drum rollers for soil and sub-base compaction are usually priced on request. Drum width, weight, padfoot or smooth drum, transport and an operator all affect the price. Ask for a weekly rate including delivery.
Can I hire a single drum roller with an operator?
Yes, you can ask for operated hire. Choose that option and describe the job and the hours you expect; the hire company confirms availability and quotes for the operator. Compare the total including fuel, travel and any overtime.
How does delivery of a single drum roller work?
You can ask for delivery and collection or arrange to collect it yourself, depending on the equipment and the company. Give the postcode, the access, the delivery times and how it can be unloaded. Check the price of both journeys and who loads and unloads before you accept the quote.
