EquipmentsFinder lists 43 compactors for sale in the UAE today from 13 sellers, one of them verified. Road rollers are the largest group with 21 ads, followed by hand rollers (10), pneumatic tyre rollers (9), plate compactors (2) and a single-drum roller (1). Bomag, Dynapac and Hamm lead the brands, with Caterpillar, Sakai, Ammann, Komatsu and Rammax also listed, and 8 of the ads show a published price.
Thirty-four of the machines are in Sharjah emirate, 8 in Dubai and 1 in Abu Dhabi. Compaction is where road, utility and earthworks contractors in the UAE spend money every season, from a plate compactor for trench backfill to a 12-tonne roller behind a paver, and the listings cover that whole span. Contractors with one job ahead can also look at compactor rental.
Each ad is posted by the seller with photos, model, year, hours, drum or plate width and operating weight, plus an asking price where the seller chooses to publish one. Buyers contact the seller by phone or WhatsApp from the listing, inspect the machine, and agree the price and paperwork directly. EquipmentsFinder charges buyers nothing and takes no commission; sellers list free and can pay for plans that give an ad more exposure.
One of the 13 sellers carries the verified badge, which confirms the business behind the account. The compactor listings can be filtered by subcategory, emirate, brand and price, and the buy hub leads to the pavers, graders and excavators a roller is usually bought to work alongside.
Road rollers are the core of the stock with 21 ads, mostly Bomag, Dynapac and Hamm. A single-drum vibratory roller, steel drum in front and tyres behind, compacts sand, sub-base and fill, and is the machine every earthworks contractor in the UAE owns. A tandem (double-drum) roller compacts asphalt behind the paver. One machine is listed under the separate single drum rollers subcategory today.
Two plate compactors and 10 hand rollers are listed. A plate compactor is the walk-behind tool for trench backfill, paving blocks and confined corners; a hand (pedestrian) roller is the small double-drum machine for footpaths, patching and kerb lines. These are the lowest-cost entry into compaction and are bought in numbers by utility and landscaping contractors.
A trench roller is a remote-controlled or walk-behind machine with padfoot drums, narrow enough to drop into a utility trench and compact cohesive backfill in layers. Rammax, listed on the site today, is the best-known name in this class. They appear in small numbers, so a buyer who needs one should also post a request.
Nine PTR rollers are for sale today. A pneumatic tyre roller seals and kneads an asphalt mat after the steel-drum roller, and compacts chip seal and granular layers. Ballast weight and tyre pressure set the compaction effort, so ask the seller what ballast the machine carries and the condition and matching of the tyres.
Soil and fill in deep lifts want a single-drum vibratory roller sized to the layer: a 10- to 12-tonne machine for road sub-base and bulk fill, a lighter one for utility work and confined areas. Cohesive material compacts better under a padfoot drum, sand and granular material under a smooth drum, and the same machine can sometimes take a padfoot shell kit. For asphalt the sequence is a tandem roller for breakdown and intermediate passes and a pneumatic roller for finishing, so a paving contractor needs both.
Between those extremes, plate compactors and hand rollers handle trench backfill, block paving and patching, and a trench roller does cohesive backfill in deep utility trenches. On a used machine, the vibration bearings, drum surface, articulation joint and drive motors are the main wear points; the model years on the site today include 2016, 2011, 2009 and 2008 machines, so hours and maintenance history matter more than age.
Eight of the 43 ads currently show a price. Asking prices run from AED 35,000 to AED 185,000, with a typical figure around AED 117,000. Hand rollers and plate compactors sit well below the heavy rollers, and a late-model Bomag or Hamm single-drum machine sits at the top. The other 35 sellers give a price on request by phone or WhatsApp. Ask whether VAT and delivery are included, and whether a padfoot kit or spare drum scrapers come with the machine.
Eight compactors are listed in Dubai today. Dubai sellers include dealers with newer rollers and plant fleets selling as projects finish.
One compactor is listed in Abu Dhabi at the moment. Buyers in the capital and Al Ain draw on the Sharjah and Dubai stock, which sellers deliver by low-bed.
Sharjah holds 34 of the 43 machines, 28 in Sharjah city and 6 in Al Hamriyah, the largest concentration of used rollers in the UAE.
No compactors are listed in the northern emirates today. The Sharjah yards are close to Ajman and Umm Al Quwain, and sellers deliver to Fujairah and Ras Al Khaimah within a day.
If the right roller is not among the 43 listed today, post a request with the machine type, weight class, budget and delivery emirate, and sellers across the UAE will respond with what they have. Requests from other buyers are shown on the inquiry board, and fleet owners can post a compactor for sale free of charge.

Published asking prices on the site today run from AED 35,000 to AED 185,000, with a typical figure around AED 117,000. Only 8 of the 43 ads show a price, so most sellers quote on request. Small plate compactors and hand rollers cost far less than ride-on rollers; a late-model heavy single-drum machine sits at the top of the range. Ask whether VAT and delivery are included.
For sand, fill and sub-base in deep layers, a single-drum vibratory roller of 10 to 12 tonnes; for cohesive material, a padfoot drum. For asphalt, a tandem roller plus a pneumatic tyre roller. For trenches, block paving and patching, a plate compactor or hand roller, and for deep utility trenches a padfoot trench roller. Match drum width to the lane or strip.
A used roller is a sound buy because the machine is simple and the wear items, drum, vibration bearings, tyres and articulation joint, show at inspection. The site today holds machines from 2008 to 2016 at prices well below new. A new roller brings a warranty, current emissions and intelligent compaction options. For daily use on a long road contract, that support can justify the price.
Yes. Arrange a visit through the seller's phone or WhatsApp on the listing; 34 of the 43 machines are in Sharjah emirate and 8 in Dubai. Run the engine and vibration on high and low amplitude and listen to the drum bearings, check the drum for pitting, test the articulation joint for play, inspect the tyres and sprinkler system, and look for leaks at the drive motors.
Ask the seller for a sales invoice in the buyer's name and the machine's ownership papers, plus registration documents if the roller is registered for road travel. The transfer steps vary by emirate and by whether the buyer is a company, so confirm them with the seller and the relevant authority before paying, and check the serial number against every document.
Bomag leads with 10 of the 43 machines, followed by Dynapac with 8, Hamm with 7, Caterpillar with 5, Sakai with 3, Ammann with 2, and one each from Komatsu and Rammax. All of these have parts support in the UAE. The brand mix shifts as the 13 sellers post and sell, so check the listings or post a request for a specific model.
