Dynapac CA1300/1400 Soil Compactor Offers Enhanced Maneuverability Dynapac CA1300/1400 soil compactors are vibratory roller designed for compaction operations in pipe trenches, compacting roads, streets, repair work and parking lots. These 5 to 7 ton rollers pack a big punch and have enhanced maneuverability, which also make them a great option for compaction on large building foundations, industrial construction sites, steep slopes and in cramped spaces in connection with refilling work, according to the manufacturer. The PD version, equipped with pads and drum drive, is especially suitable for the compaction of silt and clayey soils and can be equipped with levelling blade and the D version with pad shell kit.

The CA1400 features two amplitudes, high at 0.067 in. and low at 0.032 in., making the machine versatile and suited for all supporting and reinforcement courses, according to the manufacturer. The PD version can compact silt and clay at a depth of 18 in. Tier IV Final/StageV Engine With ECO as Standard Machines are equipped with Kubota Tier IV Final/StageV engine at 75hp (55 kW), latest emission standard and ECO mode as standard. This means low fuel consumption and low CO2 emissions and also a very low noise level at all times. The engine is transversally mounted to get increased service access standing on ground and air inlet for both combustion air and cooling air is high located to minimize dust intake. A 12 volt outlet is located in the engine compartment to facilitate service even during night operation. Traction at All Times With flow divider, differential lock and drum drive traction both forward and reverse is at its best. The CA1400 dual speed secures a high transportation speed that is easy to control with the balanced stroke of the forward and reverse lever. If the levelling blade is mounted, all controls are operated with the top buttons on forward and reverse lever, no need to change grip on lever or steering wheel.
