One single drum roller is listed for sale in the UAE today, a Caterpillar from a single supplier in Abu Dhabi, which is not verified. The listing gives no price, so ask the supplier what they want for the roller in AED and whether VAT is on top. With one machine listed, this page is a short list rather than a market; a buyer who needs a particular weight class is better served by sending a request.
A single drum roller has one large steel drum at the front and rubber drive wheels at the rear. The vibrating drum compacts soil, rock fill and base course in thick layers, which is why it is the workhorse of road embankments, platforms and large site pads. Pad-foot drums knead cohesive soils, and smooth drums suit granular fill. See the other types under compactors for sale and use post an inquiry to reach further suppliers.
It compacts soil, rock fill, sub-base and base course in layers thick enough for road embankments, building platforms and car parks. The vibrating steel drum delivers deep compaction for its weight, while the rear tyres give traction on slopes. For finishing asphalt, a tandem or tyre roller is normally preferred.
A smooth drum suits granular materials, gravel, crushed rock and asphalt base. A pad-foot drum is for clay and other cohesive soil, where the pads knead the material and break it up. Many machines can take a pad shell on the same drum, so ask whether one is included.
Check the drum for wear and dents, the vibration system for noise and heat, and the articulation joint for play. Test steering, brakes and drive in both directions, and look at the tyres. Read the hour meter and ask for service records, plus the ownership papers for the machine.
The listed Caterpillar stands in Abu Dhabi. A roller of this size travels on a low-bed trailer, and the cost depends on the distance to the buyer. Agree transport, loading and the state of the machine on handover with the supplier before paying.
