For my sins I was Googling for information about Stothert & Pitt compaction equipment and the website of Mortimer Manufacturing Limited came up and its appears that they are producing products which appear to be derived from older Stothert & Pitt compaction equipment product lines? Can anyone shed any light on this?
Some of their current model numbers and name are very similar to old Stothert & Pitt products mentioned on their site.
Mortimer produce single drum pedestrian rollers, roller trailers, towed vibratory roller, power barrow, floor saws and turf cutters.
On the spares side they offer:
''Full range of spare parts for Mortimer, Stothert & Pitt, MOXY, Compair and RJE Dumpers.
Roller spares for Mortimer, Stothert & Pitt, Bomag and Benford Rollers''. they also refurb and remanufacture small rollers.

I spent 3 weeks as S & P in the early 1980's on courses on compaction equipment.The numbering system may be the same,eg a S & P W71 roller is 71cm wide roll. A 55 may be a 55 cm roll

Firstly I've found a Contract Journal reference saying Mortimer did buy the Stothert & Pitt range dated to the year 2000:



I have a hunch, that I'd like to put to the members of this forum and hopefully someone in the know will be able prove/disprove it.
It is that the single drum rollers offered by JCB Light Equipment (JCB VMS55 & VMS 71/VMS 71-20) are the same as, or the successors to the Mortimer Vibroll 55 and 71 range of single drum rollers.
Unfortunately the Mortimer website has gone dead, but I have been able to source some images for comparison.

It just has to be - Its exactly the same

HI.
Correct me if I'm wrong, its a long time ago, but I think it was Mortimer who took over production of the rollers made by Atkinsons of Clitheroe. I'm not sure I think it was in the late 80s. I did some work on a couple of them,
they had an all gear drive train.

Not paving equipment per se, but this is the only existing thread I could find for Mortimer:
