Smooth Drum Vibratory Soil CompaCtor

n Virtually maintenance free due to maintenance-free hitch bearings

and extended maintenance intervals for vibratory system and hydraulic system, providing more uptime and lower maintenance costs.

n Enhanced compaction performance due to more weight at the drum

and greater amplitude. Automated propel and vibratory system functions make it easy to ensure consistent, high quality.

n Optional Cat

when compaction has been completed to specification for greater productivity and uniform compaction quality.
