About Road Rollers from MCM Group+
Road rollers for sale in South Africa
MCM Group stocks 9 road roller models for sale across South Africa, ready for collection at our branches in Cape Town, George, Bloemfontein, Midrand or for delivery to any of the nine provinces. Every road roller we supply is selected and specified for tough local working conditions, and backed by in-country parts and service so you are never waiting on an overseas supplier when you need to keep working.
Road rollers are used for compacting soil, gravel and asphalt for road building, driveways and foundation prep. Whether you are a contractor, farmer, plant-hire operator or municipality, our team will help you match the right machine to your application and budget rather than over- or under-speccing the job.
How to choose the right road roller
Start with the work the machine will do most often. Matching engine power, operating weight and lift or dig capacity to your typical tasks keeps running costs down and avoids paying for capability you will rarely use. If you run attachments, check the hydraulic flow and coupler type up front, and think about transport — how you will move the road roller between sites affects which size class makes sense.
Compare the full specification of each model on its product page, then weigh up availability of parts, ease of servicing and resale value. A slightly higher purchase price often pays back through lower downtime and better support, which is exactly where buying a road roller with a local warranty and a national parts network has the edge over a grey import.
Road roller price and finance
Pricing for road rollers at MCM Group starts from R 58 950 excl. VAT, with the final figure depending on configuration, attachments and any current specials. Request a quote on any model for an up-to-date, all-in price including VAT and delivery to your area.

Road roller selection in South Africa depends on the material being compacted and the layer thickness specified in the project's compaction specification. Single-drum vibratory rollers (padfoot or smooth drum) are the standard choice for soil and subgrade compaction. Tandem vibratory rollers are used for asphalt compaction during road surfacing. Pneumatic tyred rollers provide a kneading action that improves density in granular materials and is required as the final pass on many asphalt specifications.
Compaction frequency (vibration frequency in Hz) and amplitude (the force of each vibration cycle) determine how effectively a roller compacts different materials. High-frequency, low-amplitude settings are used for thin asphalt lifts to prevent aggregate fracture. Low-frequency, high-amplitude settings are used for thick soil layers requiring deep compaction to specified density.
MCM Group's road roller range covers walk-behind compactors for trench backfill and footpath work, ride-on single-drum rollers for subgrade and sub-base compaction, and tandem rollers for asphalt surfacing. This range covers the compaction requirements of most South African civil and road construction projects.
All MCM Group road rollers come with full local warranty, vibratory mechanism service kits and after-sales support from our branches in Cape Town, George, Gauteng and Bloemfontein. Finance options include operating lease and instalment sale.
