Features: ● Caterpillar exclusive vibratory pod design delivers desired balance between frequency and amplitude to provide a superior matte finish. Pod-style weight housings are factory sealed for longer bearing life and easy serviceability. ● Higher compaction forces provide twice the compac- tion force of the original design requiring fewer passes for greater productivity. ● Replaceable rubber mounts isolate vibration and enhance vibratory capabilities. ● Durable high-strength steel drums are roll formed and finish welded for a smoother surface and longer life. ● Pivoting interface allows the drum to oscillate ±15° and follow the contour of the ground. ● Cat XT-3 hose and O-ring face seals are used through- out for superior leak-free performance.

Market Opportunities ● Building/General Construction — Vibratory compac- tors can be used on construction sites to level and com- pact soil around building foundations after backfilling. ● Governmental/Municipalities (Street and Road Main- tenance) — Vibratory compactors are useful work tools for compacting soil and crushed rock prior to paving or pouring concrete. They are also useful for compacting small areas of asphalt (pothole repair). ● Landscaping/Landscape Maintenance — Vibratory compactors are used by landscaping contractors after installing irrigation and water sprinkler systems. Golf course maintenance departments will often use this product to compact greens and fairways. ● Paving — Vibratory compactors are used by paving contractors for smaller paving jobs (compacting soil and crushed stone), compacting hot patch (pot hole repair) or compacting material in tight areas where a dedicated roller can’t maneuver. ● Specialty Trades/Utilities — Vibratory compactors are ideal for compacting back-filled soil after trench- ing and backhoe work. Vibratory compactors are productive work tools for specialized applications. They are often used in conjunc- tion with a bucket, cold planer and trencher.
