Two single drum rollers are listed for hire in the UAE today, from 2 suppliers, both in Dubai and neither verified yet. The listings name Case and Caterpillar, one each. One shows a daily and a monthly rate, which is not enough to give a typical figure, so call both suppliers for current prices.
A single drum roller has one large steel drum at the front and two rubber tyres at the rear that drive the machine. The drum usually vibrates. It is the main compaction machine for soil, rock fill, crushed stone and road base, where its weight and vibration pack the material down in layers. Smooth drums suit granular fill and base courses; padfoot drums knead cohesive soil such as clay.
For earthworks, roller weight and drum width decide how many passes each layer takes. Check whether the drum is smooth or padfoot, and the amplitude and frequency settings, before choosing. Other compaction machines are collected under compactors for rent. If neither listing fits, Post an inquiry.
Use a single drum roller for soil, fill and base layers where deep compaction is needed, and a tandem roller to finish asphalt. The single drum's weight and vibration reach further into the layer. Tell the supplier the material and layer depth so they can match a machine.
A smooth drum compacts granular materials such as sand, gravel and crushed stone, and also finishes surfaces. A padfoot drum has protruding feet that knead and break up cohesive soils such as clay, working from the bottom of the layer up. Ask the supplier which is fitted to the listed roller.
Two are listed today, from 2 suppliers in Dubai. Stock is small, so contact them early with your dates. If neither is suitable, post an inquiry and other suppliers with similar machines can reply.
Heavier rollers compact thicker layers but may damage nearby structures and pipes through vibration. Choose a weight suited to the layer thickness and to how close the work is to buildings or buried services. The supplier can give the operating weight and vibration settings.
