Opt Hire has a range of machines on hand to suit different job sizes, soil conditions, and site setups, so you can get the job done right from the start. 

A lot of crews underestimate compaction. They’ll focus on the concrete or the finished surface and forget about what’s underneath. But anyone who’s spent enough time in construction or civil knows that poor compaction leads to cracking, settlement, drainage, and other major problems.

Contact us today, and we’ll help you find the right compaction equipment for your project needs.

Compaction Equipment Range

We’ve put together a lineup that covers everything from tight-access landscaping jobs to large-scale infrastructure work. If you’re not sure which way to go, our team can walk you through it and match the right gear to your site conditions. Here’s what we’ve got ready to hire today:

Compaction Rammer - Battery

Perfect for smaller areas, backfilling, or jobs with noise restrictions. Battery rammers give you the punch of a petrol model without the fumes. Great for trenches, pathways, or indoor use.

Compaction Rammer - Petrol

The traditional workhorse. Reliable, heavy-hitting, and easy to refuel on site. Ideal for compacting cohesive soils like clay in confined spaces.

Remote Trench Roller

If you’re digging deep trenches or working around unstable ground, a remote trench roller is the safest and most efficient option. With infrared line-of-sight remote control, operators are kept out of the danger zone and protected from dust, exhaust fumes, and noise. A built-in proximity sensor automatically disables the machine if the operator comes within two metres, ensuring maximum safety while still delivering heavy-duty compaction.

Compaction Rammer - Battery

Lightweight and simple to operate, these plate compactors are great for residential or commercial landscaping projects where you need to compact sand, gravel, or crushed rock without the noise and exhaust of petrol models.

Compaction Rammer - Petrol

Still the go-to for many contractors, these plate compactors handle larger open areas quickly and effectively. If you’re laying paving, prepping a driveway, or working on road base, these get it done.

DPU (Diesel Plate Unit)

When strength matters, the DPU rises to the task. The DPU delivers both forward and reverse compaction in a compact design that boosts maneuverability without sacrificing the power needed for maximum jobsite efficiency.

Why Hire Compaction Equipment from Opt Hire?

Anyone in the trade can tell you stories of jobs where the base wasn’t done right. Maybe a driveway that started sinking after a couple of months. A slab that cracked because the fill underneath wasn’t properly compacted. Or a trench that collapsed because the soil wasn’t stable.

Compaction is about safety as much as it is about quality. On road projects, poorly compacted ground can lead to rutting and failure under traffic loads. On building sites, it can compromise structural integrity. Even in landscaping, skipping compaction means pavers shift.

Hiring compaction equipment can be complicated, but hiring the right equipment makes it simple. With hire, you get the right equipment for the job, ready to go when you need it. No servicing, no depreciation, no storage headaches, just site-specific equipment that keeps your project moving.

At Opt Hire, we keep our equipment well-maintained and ready to go. Every piece of equipment is thoroughly inspected and tested before leaving our storage facility, arriving on site, ready to go.

Unsure which model’s right for you, our team has the industry know-how to point you in the right direction.
