Spec Comparison

Every promotion model at a glance. Drum width drives coverage per pass. Operating weight drives static force. The SV544T is a soil compactor, so it plays a different role than the asphalt rollers above it.

How It Works

From Question To Jobsite

No runaround. No pressure. Just a straight path to the right machine for the work you actually do.

1

Tell Us The Work

Lift thickness, mix design, tonnage per day and how tight the site is. That is what decides the class.

2

Get A Real Quote

Pricing, availability across four branches, options like canopy and beacon, and a delivery window.

3

Delivered And Walked Through

Free delivery within 70 miles, plus a walkthrough on spray system, vibration settings and daily service points.

The Last Pass Decides Everything

Density Is The Whole Job

The paver lays the mat. The roller decides whether it lasts. A one percent shortfall in density can cost years of pavement life, and it is the one thing on the job that gets cored, tested and argued about later.

The Wrong Roller

Costs you twice
  • Too light for the lift and you chase density all day
  • Too heavy on a thin mat and you crush aggregate
  • Bad water flow means pickup and a scarred surface
  • Touchscreen faults park the machine mid pour
  • Failed cores mean rework at your expense
Why Sakai

A Roller Built To Compact

Compaction is all they build
  • High frequency vibration for tight impact spacing
  • Machined drums with chamfered edges reduce checking
  • Triple filtered spray with metal nozzles, not plastic
  • Switches and knobs instead of a fragile display
  • Independent drum vibration and clean edge visibility

Built For The People Who Get Cored

Paving crews, grading contractors, municipal yards and rental fleets. Different work, same problem: hit spec, hit smoothness, and do it without a machine in the shop.

  • Compaction specialists. Sakai builds rollers and soil compactors, not a catalog of everything.
  • Engines you already know. Honda gas on the CR271, Kubota diesel across the 354, 504 and 654.
  • Simple controls. Dedicated switches and knobs. New operators are productive on day one.
  • Rental fleet economics. High utilization, low downtime and strong resale when it is time to cycle out.
  • Municipal friendly. Straightforward machines that city and county yards can maintain in house.

No gimmicks. Just machines that hit density and start the next morning.

Questions

Sakai Roller FAQ

Straight answers about sizing, engines and getting a machine on your job.

Which ton class do I actually need?
It comes down to lift thickness, tonnage per day and site access. Driveways, patches and cart paths usually land on the CR271. Parking lots and small streets fit the SW354 or TW354. Larger commercial lots and subdivision roads point to the SW504. Municipal roads, highways and heavy tonnage days call for the SW654. Tell us the job and we will size it with you.
What is the difference between the SW354 and the TW354?
Both are 3 ton class with a 47 inch front drum and the same 24 hp Kubota D1703. The SW354 is a double steel drum. The TW354 is a combination machine: steel drum in front, pneumatic tires in the rear. Those tires knead the surface for a tighter seal and a smoother finish, and they will not scuff a curb on tight turns.
Which engines do these rollers use?
The CR271 runs a 20.8 hp Honda GX630R gas engine. The SW354 and TW354 both run the 24 hp Kubota D1703 diesel. The SW504 uses the 43 hp Kubota D1803 and the SW654 uses the 73 hp Kubota V3307. All diesels are Tier 4 Final.
Do the diesel models need DEF or a DPF?
The SW354 and TW354 use a mechanical Kubota diesel with no DPF, no DEF and no ECM, which is a big part of why rental fleets like them. Aftertreatment varies by model and configuration on the larger machines, so ask us to confirm the exact spec on the unit you are quoting.
How wide are the drums?
CR271 is 35.5 inches, SW354 and TW354 are 47 inches, SW504 is 51 inches and SW654 is 58 inches. Wider drums cover more mat per pass, which matters most on open lots and long pulls. On tight residential work, a narrower drum is often the faster machine.
Can I get one on a trailer behind a pickup?
The CR271 at 3,265 lbs is the easy one to move with common trailers. The 3 ton machines are still very transportable at roughly 5,900 to 6,500 lbs. The SW504 at 8,955 lbs and the SW654 at 15,585 lbs need a properly rated trailer and tow vehicle. We can walk through your setup before you buy.
Do you sell to cities, counties and agencies?
Yes. We work with municipal and public agency buyers regularly and can help with quoting, documentation and delivery scheduling. Tell us what your purchasing process requires and we will put the paperwork together.
Can I trade in my current roller?
Absolutely. We take trades on rollers and other compaction equipment regardless of brand. Send us the model, hours and a few photos and we will get you a number.
What about parts and service?
Our techs are trained on the machines we sell and we support them out of our Southern California branches. Because these rollers use Honda and Kubota engines, routine engine service is straightforward and parts are widely available.
Is delivery really free?
Yes. Every purchase includes free delivery to your jobsite within 70 miles of your branch. Beyond that we will quote the haul honestly up front.
Can I see one run before I buy?
Talk to us. Depending on availability we can arrange seat time so your operator can feel the machine before you commit.
Do these hold their value?
Sakai has a strong reputation for reliability in the paving world, and simple, well maintained machines tend to stay desirable on the used market. Rental houses in particular pay attention to resale when they cycle units out.
