At present no compactor for sale is shown for Asir. Road builders, paving subcontractors and groundworks firms in Abha and Khamis Mushait who want a roller of their own will find nothing local, so a purchase request giving weight class and budget is the route to offers from other regions. A seller of rollers or plates in the south-west can post an advert.
A contractor who builds or repairs mountain roads uses compaction equipment week after week. Buying makes sense when the same roller is on site most months, because hire rates add up and availability is uncertain when demand is high. Plate compactors and rammers are cheaper and nearly always worth owning for trench backfill.
What you buy depends on the layer you finish. Asphalt work needs a smooth-drum or combination roller with vibration and sprinklers. Embankments of clay and silt call for a padfoot drum, and rock fill needs a heavy vibratory roller. Hillside work puts a premium on a drive system that climbs and a roller frame that does not slip on a wet slope.
Ask for a demonstration with the vibration on, and watch for uneven tracking.
Besides the price in SAR, include VAT, freight up the escarpment and a first service. Smaller plates travel in a pickup, and rollers arrive on a low-bed truck. Keep the tax invoice and ownership papers for later resale.
