No compactor is advertised for sale in Austin yet. A buyer can send a purchase request giving the compactor type and budget, and a seller in Austin can list a roller or plate free. Compaction needs vary a lot, so say whether you work in clay, crushed stone or asphalt, and how big the area is. Buyers elsewhere in the country can try the national compactor sale page.
Talk to the owner, agree price, viewing and pickup, then pay the owner. The site does not bill the buyer.
Paving crews on streets, parking lots and highway shoulders own rollers. Site-work contractors prepare pads with padfoot and smooth drum machines, utility crews need plates and rammers for backfill, and hardscape companies buy small plates for patios and walls.
Padfoot rollers work on clay and cohesive fill. Smooth drum rollers finish crushed stone and asphalt, and pneumatic rollers seal mats. Plates and rammers fit confined spaces. Vibratory drums compact deeper, but static work suits places near older structures.
Check the drum shell for flat spots and wear, and the scrapers and spray system on asphalt rollers. Inspect the vibration eccentric, drive motors, articulation and frame welds. On plates and rammers, test the starter, listen to the engine and examine the base plate. Rollers used on crushed limestone wear their drum surfaces and padfeet, so measure the remaining height of the pads. Request the hour reading and the service history.
Compaction work arrives in bursts, so many firms rent first. See compactor rental in Austin, then return to the Austin buying hub when ownership makes sense.
Austin sellers have named no compactor prices yet. Type, weight, hours and condition are what will set the number.
A padfoot roller. Narrow trenches call for a rammer or a plate.
New has a warranty. A used compactor is a bargain only when the drum and drive are sound.
Yes. Ask the seller to let you compact a test strip.
