The kit Tarmac National Contracting have is a dead-weight roller painted white which is a Hamm, the smaller ride-on roller is a Bomag and the asphalt paver is a Dynapac machine.

Re: Tarmac PLC
Interesting machines that are not photograped very often. I have worked on Blawknox, Barber Greens,tar sprayers and various types of rollers.We had a couple of bowmags when I worked on the plant.I remember we used to get problems with the electrics as when on vibrate,they used to shake the machine to bits.The worst rollers were Atkinsons,which took over Greens.They kept us very busy on the service van
Thanks for posting.

Tidy collection of surfacing kit there Jack.
They dont leave it parked up as often these days, Last crew I had on a job took it away every night ( some of it went onto the night shift on the M1) . Think RMC were trying to get the untilisation factor up on men and machine as were double shifting both on different jobs.
