Typical class figures — exact machine confirmed on your quote. Padfoot drums compact cohesive (clay-ish) soils; smooth drums finish granular material and asphalt. Working near buildings or services? Ask about static passes and low-vibe modes. Earthworks gear to pair: excavators and skid steers.
Padfoot kneads cohesive soils — clays and silty fill — from the bottom up. Smooth drums seal and finish granular bases and asphalt. Get it backwards and you'll chase compaction all day: tell us what you're compacting and we'll match the drum.
Driveways and paths: a 1.1–1.5t tandem is the classic. House pads and car parks: 2.5–4t. Bulk earthworks and road boxes: 7t and up. Lift thickness matters as much as machine size — thin lifts, more passes beats heroic single lifts.
No national roller licence exists any more — competency is the requirement, and civil sites usually ask for a VOC. Pedestrian trench rollers just need sensible training on the remote or handle.
It can be — vibes travel through ground into slabs, pipes and neighbours' nerves. Near structures and services, run static passes or a low-amplitude setting, and flag it when you book so we quote a machine with the right modes.
Plant trailer for the small gear, float for anything mid-size up — quoted per job from the nearest yard. Blacktown-to-Penrith corridor jobs usually see next-day delivery; same-day happens when a local yard has one free.
Smooth-drum water sprays are for asphalt work, stopping pickup on the drum. Fill and use is straightforward; it's covered at handover.
