Who Buys

Grading contractors working the Aurora subdivisions buy rollers for building pads and roads. Paving crews need asphalt rollers, utility contractors want plates and rammers for trench backfill, and landscape installers use plates on paver bases. Rental yards sell older compactors when replacing them.

Types and Their Jobs

Padfoot drums knead clay, which is why they are popular in a clay-heavy market. Smooth drums suit granular material, and double-drum rollers finish asphalt. Pneumatic-tire rollers seal surfaces. Plates, in forward or reversible forms, serve narrow areas, and rammers pack tight trenches.

Inspection Points

For ride-on units, test the vibration system, drum bearings, scrapers and water spray. Check steering joints, brakes and the engine. For plates and rammers, review the baseplate, engine start and the eccentric. Machines that sat outside through winters may show corroded fittings and cracked hoses. Run the machine on a patch of ground and listen for knocks in the vibration mechanism. Ask for hours, the maintenance record and any repair history.

Choosing Size

Drum width and weight determine how much ground you cover and how deep the lift is compacted. Too small a roller wastes days on a large pad. Too large a one may be impractical to haul up a mountain road or onto a tight lot.

Documents

A bill of sale with serial number, a lien check and sales tax shown on the invoice are the basics. If your project is short, compactor rental in Denver may serve better. The Denver buying hub lists further equipment.
