Rollers For Hire
Smooth & Trench Rollers Available For Hire
Donnelley Hire’s smooth drum rollers are built for compacting surfaces quickly, safely, and effectively across a wide range of civil, earthworks, and construction jobs. Whether you’re prepping road bases, laying driveways, or compacting bulk fill on-site, our rollers deliver consistent results. With 2.5T single drum options available, you can match the machine to the size and scale of your project with confidence.
Our 2.5T smooth drum rollers are ideal for tight-access areas, smaller worksites, or jobs requiring a lighter footprint. Both models are operator-friendly and designed to perform on a variety of terrains, giving you strong performance without compromising safety or control.
For trenching, pipeline work, or narrow spaces, we also offer remote-controlled trench rollers. These units deliver powerful compaction in tight, confined or high-risk environments without needing the operator to be in the cab. With articulated steering and radio control, they’re perfect for sewer lines, backfill, foundations, and complex sites where safety and precision are a priority.
From roads and rail to residential builds and subdivision prep, our rollers are trusted by civil contractors, plumbers, builders, and infrastructure teams across the Illawarra, South Coast, and beyond. With short or long-term hire options and fast turnaround from our Wollongong or Nowra depots, we’ve got the gear to keep your ground solid and your project on track.
REMOTE CONTROL TRENCH ROLLER
The articulated radio controlled multipurpose compactor achieves outstanding compaction results on soil compaction in trenches, sewers and on pipeline construction. It is best used when conditions become confined or inaccessible. It is the first machine of this type to display compaction progress – this integrated technology aids the operator in achieving optimum compaction results without rework, resulting in time and cost savings.

WET OR DRY HIRE
YOUR OPERATOR OR OURS

Our wet hire service gives you access to experienced, ticketed operators who know how to get the most out of our gear — ideal for busy job sites, civil contracts, or when you need someone who can jump straight in and deliver.
Prefer to use your own team? All our machines are available for dry hire, fully serviced and ready to go, with the attachments you need to get the job done.
