Compaction is judged by the density left behind, not by how many passes were made. A road roller for sale can look right on the yard and still leave soft spots in a sub-base, so what matters is drum weight, vibration frequency and force, and whether the machine keeps traction on the fill it is working.

This is an XCMG XS223J single drum vibratory roller: 20 to 22 tons of operating weight, a 2.13 m smooth steel drum and 350 to 400 kN of centrifugal force, carried on rear rubber tyres that keep it moving across loose ground between passes.

why choose us
A single drum roller built for road construction, foundation works and earthworks.

Why This Roller, And Not The Cheapest One On The Lot
The XS223J is an XCMG single drum vibratory roller with a smooth steel drum at the front and rubber tyres at the rear. That layout puts the working weight on the drum while the tyres keep the machine moving across loose or uneven fill. If you are pricing a road roller for sale for sub-base or asphalt work, those are the two things that decide the result.
Vibration runs at 28 to 33 Hz with 350 to 400 kN of centrifugal force, which is what produces depth in fewer passes. Travel speed is 0 to 10 km/h, controlled hydraulically from an enclosed, air-conditioned cab.
Compaction Work This Roller Is Specified For
One machine, four jobs that all come down to density.
Road sub-base and base course
Bringing granular fill up to density before the asphalt goes down, which is where most premature road failures start.


Asphalt compaction
Finishing asphalt at controlled speed and frequency so the mat closes without shoving ahead of the drum.
Foundation and platform works
Compacting building platforms, hardstandings and yard slabs where a smooth, uniform surface is required.


Earthworks and backfill
Working trench backfill, embankments and site levelling, with the rear tyres carrying it across the looser ground.
Prepared For Shipment, Not Just Loaded
Checked before it leaves
Engine start and leaks, hydraulic system, brakes and controls are tested, followed by a road trial, before the machine is released.
Protected for the voyage
Anti-rust wax over the machine, shockproof and waterproof wrapping on vulnerable parts, and steel-cable lashing for sea transport.

What To Check On Any Roller You Are Offered
Two points worth confirming before you compare prices.
Drum and vibration system
Ask any seller offering a road roller for sale for the operating weight, the drum width and diameter, the vibration frequency and the centrifugal force, and confirm the figures belong to the machine in front of you rather than to a brochure. On this XS223J they are 20 to 22 tons, a 2.13 m drum, 28 to 33 Hz and 350 to 400 kN.
Traction and surface finish
A single drum roller only compacts evenly if it keeps moving. The rear tyres on this machine are what hold it on loose fill and prevent the slipping that leaves a patchy mat.
Check the drum surface for wear or impact damage and confirm the spray bar and scraper are intact - a worn drum or a blocked spray bar shows up later as marks and streaks in the finished surface.
Frequently Asked Questions
The questions buyers ask us most often about machines, orders and delivery.
Q:1. Where are you based, and do you export?
A:We are based in Liangshan Industrial Park, Jining City, Shandong Province, China, and we export heavy-duty trucks, semi-trailers and construction machinery. More than 30,000 units have gone to overseas markets so far.
Q:2. What are your advantages?
A:We hold stock for quick delivery, carry a wide product range, inspect every machine before dispatch, quote factory-direct prices and support customization.
Q:3. How do I place an order?
A:Contact our sales team to confirm the specification, sign a contract and pay the agreed deposit. We then arrange delivery from stock or start production.
Q:4. What about quality and warranty?
A:Machines are ISO and CE certified, third-party inspection is accepted, and a one-year warranty covers free maintenance and parts replacement for non-man-made damage.
Q:5. How long is delivery?
A:Stock machines ship within about 7 working days. Customized orders take around 30 working days, and we can compress the schedule for urgent requirements.
Q:6. How is the machine shipped?
A:Depending on order size and destination we use bulk cargo ships, ro-ro vessels or containers. Every machine is coated with anti-rust wax, vulnerable parts are wrapped, and we provide real-time tracking.
