Why Classic Hire
Why Classic Hire For Compactor & Roller Hire In Perth

Compactor or roller?
Plate compactors suit sand, gravel and paving beds, while forward/reverse plates handle backfill, house pads and sub-bases. A vertical rammer delivers concentrated impact for clay and narrow trenches. Rollers take over on larger areas: a pedestrian roller for paths and parking bays, a trench roller for pipelines, and a ride-on twin drum roller for road bedding, limestone driveways and asphalt finishing.

- Plate compactors: 60kg and 79kg plates for paving, bricks and bedding sand
- Forward/reverse plates: 356kg to 813kg for backfill, sub-bases, house pads and car parks

Plate compactors cover wider surface areas and work best on sand, soil and gravel. A vertical rammer delivers concentrated impact for clay, backfill in trenches, footings and excavations.
For paving and bedding sand, a 60kg or 79kg plate. For backfill, sub-bases and house pads, a forward/reverse plate from 356kg to 813kg. For trenches and clay, the vertical rammer or the trench roller. Not sure? Call your nearest branch and we’ll help you choose.
