There are no compactors for sale in the Phoenix metro on this site today. Shoppers can send a purchase request saying which roller or plate they want, and owners can add a compactor at no cost. Compactors elsewhere appear on the national compactor page.
Contact the owner, watch the machine run, agree the price and collect it. The site adds no charge for buyers.
Paving and grading contractors buy smooth drum and padfoot rollers for subdivisions and commercial lots. Utility crews want plates and rammers for trenches. Residential builders compact driveway and patio bases, and landscape firms use small plates under pavers. Rental yards stock plates heavily because they go out constantly.
A single-drum roller suits soil and base. A double-drum roller finishes asphalt. Plate compactors vary by plate size and force, and rammers fit narrow trenches. Look at operating weight, drum width, vibration settings and, for asphalt, a working water system.
Check the drum for dents and flat spots, and the scrapers and spray bars for damage. Start the vibration and listen for noise from the eccentric weights, then look at the mounts for cracks. On plates, inspect the base plate for wear and make sure the engine starts easily. Ask what the machine compacted: a roller from clean sand differs from one that worked sharp rock. Rubber isolators bake in desert sun, so squeeze them for cracks. If compaction is a one-time need, compactor rental in Phoenix could do.
Plates ride in a pickup bed, whereas rollers need a trailer. Return to the Phoenix buying page for the remaining categories.
