Vibratory Soil Compactors

Efficient Compaction for a Variety of Soils

Our Cat^® vibratory soil compactors include padfoot and smooth drum rollers, offering the versatility you require for earthmoving and site development projects. These rentals offer various advantages:

• High-efficiency compaction: Our machines have high-amplitude vibratory systems that deliver deep compaction force, allowing you to hit density targets in fewer passes.
• Confined-area maneuverability: Our maneuverable models achieve density in water, sewer and pipeline trenches where space is limited.
• Superior gradeability and traction: Holt of California’s top-of-the-line vibratory soil compactors can confidently navigate steep embankments and soft terrain thanks to robust powertrains and propel systems designed for maximum traction.
• ROPS and FOPS canopy protection: Our machines have roll-over protective structures (ROPS) and falling-object protective structures (FOPS) for the operator’s safety.

Choosing Vibratory Soil Compactors

Your project may require a heavy-duty vibratory soil compactor rental or a regular model. To make your choice, consider these critical factors:

• Soil type: A smooth drum is ideal for granular soils, whereas a padfoot drum will effectively compact cohesive soils.
• Lift thickness and density levels: Remember to consult your project’s geotechnical report to match the machine’s centrifugal force and static linear load with the specified density requirements.
• Project size and terrain: Before you rent your compactor, match the drum width and the machine’s gradeability to the scale and specific topographical challenges of your jobsite.
