Caterpillar asphalt compactors decreases maintenance costs

Caterpillar's CB-334D and CB-335D Asphalt Compactors are intermediate-sized models that complement the Cat high-production rollers. They also share operating characteristics and bear a resemblance to the utility-class machines. These compactors are true 3.6-t (4-ton) rollers and are sized to fill a market void in the weight and compaction segment between the CB-224C and CB-434C. The CB-335D is versatility-driven, with its combi-configuration, a steel drum at the front, and rubber tires at the rear. The combi-roller can take the place of two machines by providing the benefits of both a vibratory and a pneumatic. It can eliminate an operator, lower maintenance expenses, and decrease transportation costs. It can also be effective on soil applications. Either model can be used as the sole compactor on small jobs or on large projects in conjunction with a high-production compactor. Their size and maneuverability make them well suited for compacting parking lots, lane additions, city streets, shoulders, road repairs and patching, and sports and athletic facilities. They are also useful in confined areas where larger compactors have trouble with clearances and maneuvering.
