Cat has come up with a solution to the problems faced by paving crews working in tiny spaces.
The company has introduced the AP655D Track-type Paver with model AS4251C screed, a machine solution that handles the paving challenges of some of the most narrow job site situations.
The 19,165 kg AP655D (18-19 ton major class size for tracked pavers) is designed to excel in a wide range of applications, with the help of two track solutions: the Mobil-trac (MTS rubber track) and steel track undercarriages. These help the paver to more easily handle surface irregularities.
Amongst its features are a standard 2.55 m paving width (up to 5 m with hydraulic extensions, or 8 m with mechanical extensions), a short turning radius and, according to Cat, excellent manoeuvrability.
