Maintenance simplified
The updated AP1000 and AP1055 paver models move the engine oil filter and drain to the left side compartment near the DEF tank to simplify service. Previous designs required accessing these items through swingout doors located at the back of the hopper. The new, easier access filter lessens the complexities associated with hopper inserts and material build-up around the access doors. Additionally, relocation of the hydraulic charge pump to the propel pump stack provides easier access and improved reliability compared to previous designs.
Long-life SDX screed plating system
The Cat SDX Screed Plate System can meet contractors’ biggest challenges by delivering the density and smoothness required for interstate paving with quick-change capability to be used on a wide range of applications from mainline to commercial. Two SDX plate designs are now available for contractors. Textured SDX plates feature angular grooves that promote increased density and smoothness behind the paver to help meet the toughest density specifications. Performing like traditional screed plates, smooth SDX plates deliver the added benefit of modular, quick-change capability.
Advanced technologies for asphalt compaction
Enhancing situational awareness when operating the compactor, the now available Cat Detect – Collision Mitigation System features an integrated, intelligent sensor array to provide forward and reverse collision warnings, people detection, motion inhibit, and automatic braking. Visible in real-time and recorded for future analysis, critical zone detection events transmitted to VisionLink™ enables organizations to proactively mitigate potential hazards, enhance operational safety and identify opportunities for improvement.
