Dry hire a Caterpillar padfoot roller

The Caterpillar padfoot roller is an essential piece of machinery for a range of large-scale construction and earthmoving projects. The padfoot roller’s unique design with its feet (or “pads”) creates a more concentrated and deeper level of compaction. This allows for increased soil density and stability, making it perfect for a range of applications including road construction and landfill sites.
