Compacting materials to the correct density is essential for a variety of applications, including soil stabilization, landfill construction, and road paving. Caterpillar® compactors are purpose-built machines that can handle all of these tasks with ease.
Compacting to specifications is critical for soil, landfill and paving applications, and Cat compactors are specifically designed for all compaction operations.
Wheeler Machinery Co. carries the latest in Cat machinery and technology in several Utah-based locations. From major centers like Salt Lake City and Ogden to mid-sized cities like Lindon and Logan, we meet the demands of various industries.
You’ll keep the flow of work rolling along with some of the best compaction technology on the market. With various models and builds, you can accomplish multiple tasks with Cat compactors, including:
Without proper treatment, loose soil can compromise the integrity of whatever lays on top of it. Compacting increases your construction project’s capacity and durability, as well as its resistance to damage. Similarly, rolling is also necessary for other road layers, including asphalt, to ensure a secure and level finish.
Cat compactors come equipped with a range of technological features that make compaction much more accessible to monitor and manage. In-cab guidance keeps the operator aware of the situation at all times, as they’ll receive real-time measurements that they can use as a reference to the targeted parameters, tracking progress as the machine moves along its path.
The system will even indicate when you’ve reached your goal. These innovations take a lot of the guesswork out of these tasks, which means you will require fewer passes to meet ideal compaction levels. Ultimately, you’ll save time and money while increasing overall efficiency.
The benefits continue, as Cat designs cabins to be more ergonomic and comfortable for the operator, which helps reduce work fatigue and improve the overall experience. From a mechanical perspective, new optimized powertrain technology improves fuel efficiency and lowers operational costs.
With nearly 60 different models in our inventory, we’re confident you’ll find the appropriate machine to meet your goals.
Do you need a smaller machine that can handle work in parking lots or road shoulders? We have multiple utility rollers in stock that provide compact size and excellent effectiveness. We carry vibratory rollers that work well to reduce pockets of air and cause densification within granular soils.
You can also find tampering rollers, which are also called sheep foot rollers. Many rectangular feet, arranged in hexagonal fashion, stick out from the drum’s surface. Because of its sheer weight and ability to knead the soil layers, these rollers work well when compacting clay soils.
That’s just a small sample of the Cat compactors that you can find when shopping with us.
