Overview
The Liberal Walk Behind Cricket Pitch Roller (WBR Series) represents a significant leap in cricket ground maintenance technology. Designed and manufactured in Pakistan since 1950, this heavy-duty machine is engineered to deliver the high-pressure compaction required for professional cricket pitches while ensuring ease of maneuverability for the groundsman. Unlike traditional rollers, the Liberal WBR offers a choice between a 9 HP Petrol Engine with a sophisticated hydraulic transmission system or a powerful Electric Gear Motor, giving curators the flexibility to choose the power source that best fits their facility’s infrastructure.
Precision Engineering & Performance At the heart of this machine is a heavy-duty steel drum available in diameters ranging from 32″ to 36″ and a rolling width of 48 inches (4 ft). The drum features machined curved edges, a critical design element that prevents the formation of ridges or crease lines on the turf, ensuring a flawless, flat surface for consistent ball bounce. The operator benefits from “fingertip control” via the Ultra Steering Lever, allowing for smooth forward and reverse motion without physical strain.
Heavy Duty Compaction Weight is paramount in pitch preparation. The Liberal Walk Behind Roller is available in unballasted weights of 1000 kg and 1500 kg. However, for pitch preparation that demands higher density, the drums can be ballasted with water, increasing the operational weight to approximately 1350 kg and 1750 kg respectively. This versatility allows groundsmen to adjust compaction levels based on soil moisture and game format.
Key Features:
Dual Power Options:

Ergonomic Control:
T-style handle with fingertip lever controls for effortless forward and reverse movement.
Optional Upgrades:
Sunroof canopy and swivel seat attachments available for operator comfort.
