Cat® COMPACTION technologies combine advanced measurement and guidance capabilities to help you meet compaction targets with greater consistency, in less time, and at a lower cost.

What is Cat COMPACTION?

Cat® COMPACTION technologies include hardware components such as sensors plus software that monitor compaction progress.

  • Intelligent Compaction provides a relative measurement of material stiffness during the compaction process rather than an absolute reading of Compaction Values (e.g., density).
  • In-cab displays show when compaction has met target values.
  • Optional GPS mapping allows operators to see how many passes they have made over which areas.

Available from the factory on select new Cat Asphalt and Soil Compactors, or as dealer-installed or retrofit systems on a wide range of equipment from other manufacturers.

What does it do for me?

Cat® COMPACTION technologies provide on-the-go compaction measurement, documentation and reporting for asphalt and soil compaction applications. Both can be monitored using optional mapping technology.

COMPACTION Technologies for Asphalt Compactors give operators instant feedback to help them achieve uniform results with the highest level of quality and maximum efficiency.

COMPACTION Technologies for Soil Compactors give operators instant feedback to help them achieve uniform results with maximum efficiency. Plus, they help to identify hidden soil problems that can affect compaction quality.

How do I put compaction technologies to work? Fully integrated Cat COMPACTION technologies are available as factory attachments on new Cat equipment. Some technologies are retrofittable to select Cat machines.
