Choosing this machine
Compaction specification depends on the material and the layer thickness. A smooth drum on clay achieves very little; a padfoot on a finished surface ruins it. Tell us the material and the layer and we will match the machine.

This machine is available on dry hire — machine only, you supply a qualified operator — or on wet hire, which includes a certified, mine-inducted operator, fuel and routine maintenance in a single rate.
