Product Overview
The TGEC skid steer vibratory roller is a heavy-duty compaction attachment designed for soil, aggregate, and trench compaction on construction, landscaping, and infrastructure sites. A 600 mm diameter smooth steel drum generates vibration that settles and densifies material through a combination of static weight and dynamic force. The attachment mounts to a universal skid steer quick-attach plate and uses the carrier's auxiliary hydraulic circuit to power the vibration mechanism, making it suitable for mid-to-large frame skid steers and compact track loaders.
The TG-VR1830(72IN)-MP1140 offers an 1830 mm (72 in) working width, 885 kg (1951 lb) operating weight, and requires 20 L/min (5.3 GPM) auxiliary hydraulic flow. The standard smooth drum handles granular soils and aggregate, while a padfoot drum configuration is available as a custom option for cohesive clay soils. As a core product in the skid steer compaction attachments category, this roller supports contractors who need reliable compaction performance across a range of site conditions. For help selecting the right configuration, see our vibratory roller selection guide and the smooth drum and padfoot roller comparison.

How It Works
The vibratory roller uses the skid steer auxiliary hydraulic circuit to power an eccentric weight mechanism inside the drum. As hydraulic fluid drives the motor, the eccentric weight rotates at high speed, generating centrifugal force that creates vertical vibration. This vibration transfers through the drum to the material below, causing soil particles to rearrange and densify. The static weight of the 885 kg (1951 lb) attachment adds downward force, while the operator controls forward and reverse movement to pass the drum over the compaction area in overlapping patterns.
Application Scenarios
Road and highway construction: Compact subbase, base course, and asphalt layers during road building, repair, and maintenance projects.
Trench and utility backfill: Compact soil backfill in trenches for pipelines, cable lines, sewer, and water main installations.
Building site preparation: Compact soil on building pads, foundation areas, parking lots, and driveways before concrete or paving.
Aggregate and gravel surfaces: Compact gravel driveways, temporary access roads, parking areas, and railway ballast.
Landscaping and grounds: Finish-grade compaction for lawns, athletic fields, golf courses, and park construction.
Residential construction: Compact backfill around foundations, footings, and utility trenches on housing and subdivision sites.
Installation & Mounting
The vibratory roller attaches to the MP1140 universal skid steer quick-attach plate. The operator aligns the receiver, locks the levers, and connects the auxiliary hydraulic hoses for the vibration motor. Before operation, confirm the auxiliary circuit delivers at least 20 L/min (5.3 GPM) flow at the required pressure, and verify the machine's rated operating capacity accounts for the 885 kg (1951 lb) attachment. Cycle the motor briefly after connection to remove air and check for even rotation and leaks.
Wear & Service
Primary wear items include the drum shell, eccentric bearing assembly, hydraulic motor, hoses, and quick-attach latch. Inspect the drum for cracks, dents, or excessive wear along the edges. Check bearings for unusual noise or play during operation. Inspect hoses for abrasion or leaks, and replace damaged hoses immediately. Grease all pivot and bearing points per the schedule, and keep the quick-attach plate clean. OEM replacement bearings, seals, and hydraulic components are available.
OEM & Bulk Supply
TGEC supplies vibratory roller attachments to dealers, rental fleets, contractors, and OEM partners under factory-direct terms. Volume pricing and private-label branding are available for qualified orders, and custom configurations — padfoot drum conversion, modified width, alternative mounting plates — can be reviewed for production runs. Dealers can combine roller orders with other TGEC attachments to consolidate sourcing.
Soil, Aggregate, or Trench — What's Your Primary Compaction Job?
We're looking for three things to get you the right roller: your skid steer model, your ROC, and a quick description of your primary material — soil, gravel, or clay. Send those over, we'll confirm compatibility, and reply with a quote and estimated shipping date. If you're between drum configurations, we'll note which option gives you the most flexibility for your usual work.
