Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What’s the difference between asphalt and soil compactors?
A: Cat® compactors are designed for specific materials. Asphalt roller rentals use smooth drums to finish paved surfaces; soil compactor rentals use smooth or padfoot drums to compact dirt, clay, or subgrade layers. For smaller or confined areas, plate compactors and rammers get the job done efficiently.
Q: Can I rent a compactor with a blade?
A: Yes. Some Cat soil compactors include dozer blades, letting you spread and compact material with one machine. It’s a smart way to increase productivity and reduce passes — ideal fo
Q: Do you have walk-behind rollers available?
A: Yes. We offer roller rentals in various sizes, including small walk-behind and ride-on models. They’re perfect for driveways, trench work, and patch jobs where maneuverability matters most.
Q: Which compaction equipment is best for my job?
A: It depends on your surface and job size. For large paving projects, an asphalt roller rental gives the smooth finish you need. For deeper soil stabilization or grading, a soil compactor rental provides the power and weight to achieve proper density. Your Cat dealer can help you choose the right compaction machine and drum style for your material.
