Save Time, Improve Productivity

 

The EZR Material Roller makes installing fabric for erosion control, soil stabilization and other rolled materials much easier. With this device, it will take less time to install erosion control blankets and double your productivity at the same time.

  • Saves users time and money because of its efficiency.
  • Can be controlled from the cab.
  • Can swing 180 degrees to unroll from the right or left side of the skid steer.

Installing erosion control blankets and matting, this material roller can save hundreds of hours of labor. This productivity tool can also be used for other rolled materials such as non-woven geotextiles, straw blankets and geo-grids.

 

Controlled from the cab, the boom on the material roller can swing 180 degrees to unroll from the right or left side of the skid steer. The boom can also be positioned straight out from the can to unload rolls directly from a trailer which allows the contractor to use larger rolls that could not be handled manually. This process saves users time and ultimately money because of its efficiency.

“I own 2 silt fence plows from you guys and one EZR Material Roller. We have put millions of feet of silt fence in with your equipment. This is the first time I’ve ever had to order parts since we have owned them. Our first was bought in 2008 and a second, once that one got worn. Your equipment has put us on the map when it comes to erosion control. I can honestly say there is nothing I would change. It is very nice to have dependable equipment to work with.”

– Luke Mayer | Mayer Landscaping

“Jeff, Thank you so much for your assistance in purchasing my material roller. It really works wonders and takes a huge load off my guys. Thanks again!”

What materials can the EZR handle?

The EZR installs a variety of rolled materials—including erosion control blankets, non-woven geotextiles, straw blankets, and geo-grids—greatly reducing labor effort

Can the EZR be operated from the skid steer cab?

Yes. The EZR features fully in‑cab hydraulic controls, allowing one person to swing the boom and deploy rolls without leaving the operator’s seat.

How does the boom function during deployment?

The boom has a 180° swing and locks into place, plus it can angle 115° up and 8° down. This makes it easy to unroll materials to either side or straight out to load from a trailer.

Does using the EZR impact skid steer load capacity?

Yes. The EZR’s weight—about 530 lb without the stem—reduces a skid steer’s rated operating capacity by approximately 800–900 lb. Always check your skid steer specs to avoid overload.

Is the EZR easy to transport and store?

Definitely. The pivot arm locks securely for transport or stowage, preventing swing. Quick‑pin roll collars also keep materials in place during travel

How much time and labor savings can I expect?

The EZR can save hundreds of hours installing erosion control fabrics. Users often report doubling productivity and significantly reducing crew size and physical strain.

The EZR Material Roller from Burchland Manufacturing is a productivity powerhouse designed to save hundreds of labor hours on erosion control projects. With fully cab-operated hydraulic controls and a 180° pivoting boom, it enables a single operator to swing and deploy large rolls of fabric, geotextiles, straw blankets, and geo-grids—all without leaving the skid steer (burchlandmfg.com). Its rugged design supports roll widths up to 8 feet and weights between 420–500 pounds, depending on the stem size, ensuring efficient handling of even the most demanding materials . The EZR’s capability to roll directly off trailers enhances flexibility and speed, cutting installation time and labor costs significantly.

And that’s just the start—Burchland offers a complete lineup of complementary erosion control solutions, including the BR2 Blanket Roller, SCX Straw Crimper, and XTS Silt Fence Installer, giving you a full suite of reliable tools for any site challenge.
