The new line of Cat Tandem Vibratory Rollers are
sized to match just about any job, from parking lots
to mainline paving.
While some of the features have changed, the bestin-class vibratory systems haven't. They are easy to
match frequency and amplitude to your particular
application in order to achieve target densities in
the fewest number of passes.
Innovative technology features work quietly behind
the scenes. With each roll, temperature can be
measured and passes can be counted, more
efficiently than ever before.
Operators will notice that they're more comfortable,
and that visibility is enhanced, too. Your service
technicians, meanwhile, will appreciate extended
maintenance intervals.
Why settle for any tandem vibratory roller when
you can utilize one ideally matched to the size,
specifications and requirements of your project?
With Cat Paving Products, you have more models,
more comfort, more technologyand ultimately,
more profitability.
SIZED RIGHT
FOR ANY NEED
Cat Tandem Drum Vibratory Rollers
offer many innovative technologies
to match job-site conditions and
increase profitability.
A FULL RANGE

Having a goal like being the paving industry sales
leader is no small challenge, even for the worldwide
leader in the manufacture of equipment for the
construction industry.
But ever since we sold our first paving equipment in
1986, we have continued to grow. Over the years, our
machines have been recognized as dependable and
rugged, easy to use and highly productive.
We have introduced innovations that have changed
the way the world builds roads, features that our
competitors now offer on their machines.
And with each new generation of machines we
introduce, more and more customers around the world
make the decision to switch to Cat.
