Weight and drum configuration decide both compaction depth and how close you can work to buried services.
Pedestrian single drum rollers (600–800kg)
Driveways and footpaths where a compact, walk-behind machine suits the scale.
Ride-on tandem rollers (1–3 tonne)
Road surfacing and car parks needing a smooth, even finish over larger areas.
Heavy rollers (3+ tonne)
Deep sub-base compaction on larger civil engineering and road projects.
Sheepsfoot / padfoot rollers
Cohesive soils and clay, where a smooth drum would slip rather than compact.
Compacting ground correctly
Pedestrian rollers (single drum, 600–800kg) suit driveways and footpaths where the scale doesn't justify a ride-on machine. Ride-on tandem rollers (1–3 tonne) handle road surfacing and car parks efficiently, while heavy rollers (3+ tonne) are needed for deep sub-base compaction on larger sites.
Compaction should be done in layers, over-thick lifts don't compact evenly through their full depth even with repeated passes. Check the manufacturer's guidance on maximum lift thickness for the material and roller weight you're using rather than relying on a single pass to fix everything.
Vibration from rollers travels through the ground and can affect nearby buried services, retaining structures, or sensitive foundations. On commercial sites, ride-on rollers typically require CPCS or NPORS certification; on private land training is recommended but not a strict legal requirement.
