The Mecalac MBR71 Roller is a high-performance, single-drum pedestrian roller engineered for the precise compaction of asphalt and granular materials. Renowned for its superb balance and maneuverability, this compaction roller is the go-to solution for highway repairs, footpaths, cycle lanes, and landscaping projects where larger ride-on machinery cannot operate.

Combining a rugged build with innovative safety features, the MBR71 (formerly a Terex favorite) has been redesigned with a fully hydrostatic drive system to offer smoother operation and increased productivity on every job site.

Key Features of the Mecalac MBR71 Roller

The Mecalac MBR71 Roller is designed to provide professional-grade results in a compact, hand-operated format. Key highlights include:

• Hydrostatic Transmission: The modern hydrostatic system replaces traditional belt drives, providing infinitely variable speed control and exceptional flexibility in tight spaces.
• Low HAV (Hand-Arm Vibration): Innovative rubber couplings within the drum minimize vibration transfer to the operator, allowing for longer, more comfortable working shifts.
• “Hold-to-Run” Safety Handle: For maximum site safety, the hydraulic drive automatically cuts off if the operator releases the control lever.
• Compact Footprint: With a narrow machine width of just 772mm, it can work extremely close to walls, curbs, and other site obstructions.
• Hydraulic Tool Circuit: Many models feature a 30L/min hydraulic take-off, allowing you to power a hydraulic breaker directly from the roller for breaking out material before compaction.

Versatility and Easy Transport

What makes the Mecalac MBR71 Roller a staple in hire fleets and contractor kits is its versatility. It is often paired with a specialized tow-behind trailer, allowing it to be transported easily behind a standard pickup or van. Whether you are patching a pothole or finishing a residential driveway, this compaction roller ensures a high-quality surface finish thanks to its precision-machined drum and gravity-fed water system.
