The flagship RS48-11B Roll ‘n’ Spike Golf Greens Roller by Tru-Turf is the culmination of 60 years design and development in the art of turf rolling. Our triple offset smoothing configuration allows this engineered product to smooth the turf by skilful design, not by weight.

The RS48-11B is designed to roll your greens in any direction without line creasing. With a rolling swath of 1200mm (48”) (the only one in this class), a split smoothing head, finger-light steering, and the patented triple offset smoothing rollers, it is the only roller that produces the quality of surface finished desired, without compacting the green.
