Roller Hire in Reading, Berkshire
Need roller hire in Reading? Coppard supplies pedestrian, twin-drum, trench, tandem and pneumatic-tyred rollers for compacting suitable sub-base, asphalt and other materials. Call 0118 979 2828 with the material, area, layer depth, access and required finish and the Reading team can help identify a suitable current roller.
The current roller catalogue ranges from a 560 mm single-drum Bomag 55E and 650 mm pedestrian twin-drum roller through to 800 mm trench rollers, 1,000–1,400 mm ride-on rollers and a 1,300 mm pneumatic-tyred Hamm.
Choose the Roller Around Material, Area and Access
Roller selection depends on the material being compacted, the size and shape of the working area, layer thickness, access and the compaction or finish required.
Coppard’s current range includes pedestrian single and twin-drum machines, a trench roller, ride-on twin-drum rollers, a tandem roller with a vibrating drum and tyres, and a pneumatic-tyred roller. That range lets the machine be matched more precisely to the work than simply dividing jobs into driveways and roads.
Call 0118 979 2828 with the material, approximate area and narrowest access point.

Roller Hire for Reading Compaction Work
Rollers can support groundwork, road, car-park, paving and reinstatement projects where larger areas or particular compaction requirements make a roller more appropriate than a plate or rammer. The actual material, moisture condition, layer thickness and project specification should determine the compaction equipment.
Operator Requirements and Site Information
For ride-on rollers, confirm whether the customer needs self-drive or operated hire and what competency requirements apply to the project.
Before booking, provide the material, area, layer depth, access and required finish or compaction specification. For trench work, include trench width and working space.
Call 0118 979 2828 to check the suitable current roller, operator arrangement and collection or delivery.
Why Hire a Roller from Coppard?

Frequently Asked Questions - Roller Hire in Reading
When should I use a roller instead of a plate?
A roller is generally more efficient over larger areas, while a plate can be more practical in smaller
or more restricted spaces. The right equipment also depends on the material, layer thickness and
compaction requirement, so tell Coppard’s Reading team what you are compacting rather than
choosing from area alone
What is the narrowest roller Coppard currently lists?
Coppard currently lists the single-drum Bomag 55E with a 560 mm roller width and overall machine
width of 678 mm. The pedestrian twin-drum roller has a 650 mm drum and is listed at 720 mm
overall width. Check the complete access route and working clearance before booking
Do you hire trench rollers?
The right roller depends on the material, layer depth, working area, access and the specified
compaction or finish. HSE guidance on construction plant emphasises suitable equipment,
competent operators and safe systems of work. Give Coppard’s Reading team the job details so
the current roller can be matched to the requirement.
Which type of roller is best for my project?
A pedestrian roller is usually suitable for driveways, paths, trenches and other restricted areas, while a larger ride-on roller is more efficient for roads, car parks and wider areas of sub-base or asphalt. The right choice also depends on the material being compacted, the depth of each layer and the finish required. The HSE provides guidance on safe use of construction plant including selecting the right compaction equipment for the material and site conditions. Tell Coppard’s Reading team what you are compacting, the approximate area and any access restrictions, and they can recommend the most suitable roller for the job.
