Walk-behind rollers, also known as trench rollers or multipurpose compactors, are heavy-duty compaction tools that can be easily maneuvered in their walk-behind form. With their smooth drum constructions, trench rollers allow for easy compaction of everything from cohesive soil to asphalt.

Browse All Walk-Behind RollersTrench rollers use smooth drums to compact mostly cohesive soil on building sites. When working with materials such as clay and silt, trench rollers with higher amplitudes and lower frequencies are preferable. If you're working with granular material like gravel or sand, vibratory plates and smooth drums will perform more effectively thanks to their lower amplitudes and higher frequencies. When compacting native material, trench rollers are the best machines you can use.
A dual drum system allows multipurpose compactors to compact large volumes of loose materials. Walk-behind trench rollers use exciters and hydrostatic motors inside the drums to steer using an articulated frame on both the rear and front ends. One-drum and one-and-a-half-drum trench rollers use a single exciter mechanism to maneuver the machine like a skid steer. These exciters allow for an efficient distribution of centrifugal force while protecting the machine's frame.
Foley Rents offers durable trench rollers in drum widths of 22 inches or 33 inches to suit various needs. The walk-behind nature of our trench rollers allows for easy maneuvering in tight spaces, while the tandem padfoot design provides maximum trench compaction. Additionally, both sides of the padfoot drum are completely clear to allow the roller to drive right up against the trench wall.
Due to the nature of their design, our trench rollers for rent are ideal for pipeline trenches, reinstatement jobs and construction job sites.
