SOIL COMPACTORS GET NEW MODEL NAMES TO MATCH WEIGHTS

We’re making it easier for you to choose the right Cat® Vibratory Soil Compactor for your jobs. How? By updating each model’s name so the number better matches its weight. What’s not changing? The productivity, performance and durability you’ve come to expect from Cat paving equipment.

Here’s a quick look at our three soil compactor weight categories — small, medium and large — and the models you’ll find in each one:

SMALL COMPACTORS: 5-7 TONS
