When it comes to preparing a quality cricket pitch, consistency is everything. And that’s exactly what Auto-Roller has been delivering for over 100 years.

Trusted by clubs large and small, from village greens to county grounds, our rollers are known for doing one thing exceptionally well: creating firm, true playing surfaces that hold up to the demands of modern cricket.

But what’s behind the name? Why are more groundskeepers returning to Auto-Roller season after season?

Auto-Roller

Built for Cricket — Built to Last, The Auto-Roller

Auto-Roller machines aren’t adapted from something else. They’re designed specifically for cricket from the ground up.

Heavy enough for effective compaction, yet agile enough to manoeuvre easily around the square, every model is engineered to provide uniform results — with no guesswork, no compromise.

Whether you’re using the classic 3ft or 4ft petrol roller, or upgrading to the new Electric Auto-Roller, you’re working with equipment that’s been refined through decades of real-world use.


A Modern Game Deserves Modern Options

This season, we’ve made it even easier to look after your roller:

  • Online shop now live — Order filter kits with just a few clicks.

  • Pre-season & post-season servicing — Keep your roller running like new with our annual service programme.

  • Electric Auto-Roller — Quiet, clean and built to the same high standards as our petrol models. Ideal for schools, training grounds and eco-conscious clubs.


Supporting Groundskeepers at Every Level

We know that preparing a cricket pitch isn’t a one-size-fits-all job. That’s why our team is always on hand to talk through your setup, recommend the right roller, or help you plan ahead for servicing and parts.

And with decades of knowledge behind everything we do, you can be confident you're choosing a machine — and a service — that won't let you down.
