Asphalt Compactors get the work done on the breakdown pass, when the mat
temperatures are higher and conditions are optimal for compaction. They are comfortable
and simple to operate: high amplitude for aggressive compaction, low amplitude for gentle
massaging. They match high paving speeds with high frequency, and low paving speeds with
low frequency. Simple and reliable, with predictable density every time in minimal passes.
No complexity and constant tweaking, as there is using non-aggressive compaction
technologies; no hoping your density numbers will catch up on the intermediate or final pass.
Caterpillar is the market leader because we offer proven technology that makes turning a
profit easier. Isnt that what technology is supposed to do? To get the real story on asphalt
compaction, visit your Cat Dealer today.
