Atlas Copco Introduces CA1300, CA1500 Soil Rollers
The new CA1300 and CA1500 single-drum soil rollers are ideal for high maneuverability and visibility on parking lot, road, utility pipe and street projects.
The new CA1500 roller features Atlas Copco’s exclusive Active Bouncing Control, a cross-mounted Tier 4 Interim or Tier 4 Final engine and steel blades that improve compaction, safety and visibility.
The engines on the CA1300 and CA1500 are cross-mounted, or placed perpendicular to the frames, which is an industry first. The rollers’ hydraulic pumps are also in line with the engine. This allows users to reach all the necessary components on the engines and hydraulic pumps for fast and easy service and maintenance.
The CA1300 features a Tier 4 Final, 75-hp Kubota diesel engine, and the CA1500 uses a Tier IV Interim, 100-hp Cummins diesel engine.
The rollers’ high static linear loads make them ideal for compacting a range of materials, from clay to rock fill. The CA1300 features a static linear load of 73 pounds per linear inch (PLI), and the CA1500 has 112 PLI. The compaction power is transferred through the rollers’ drums to efficiently compact soil with minimal passes. 800.732.6762, atlascopco.com
