I did some searching and I can't say I have had much success.
I haven't been able to find any dealer sites and when I search ebay.de for "roller" (according to Google Translate they use the same word in Germany) I couldn't find any relevant results.
I was wondering if there are any specific magazines on construction machinery that you could recommend?
Or any other ideas?
Thanks...
Autotrader (a magazine of used cars for sale by trade and private sellers) Do a magazine for Plant and Trucks in the UK.
Auction houses sell allsorts of plant at sales around Europe. These are advertised on the internet and in trade magazines, with some dealers advertizing in agricultural magazines. The Biggest Auction house is probably Ritchie Bros from the US who hold sales in Rotterdam and other places. Euro Auctions are an Irish firm that also sell in Europe.
Try searching by manufactuers names who make or used to make rollers, Aveling Barford, Ammann, Bomag, Caterpillar, Hamm (german), Stopert & Pitt, Vibroroll, Vibromax (now JCB but was German firm) and there are others as well that i cannot remember.
They may be called Vibrating rollers or compactors.
Different markets use different types and it depends what it is required for, as they have different compaction forces.
Heres a roller i just turned up by searching for ''vibrating roller for sale'' -
