Asphalt is one of the most popular road materials to use and the Caterpillar drum compactor was created for flattening this material so that the road is perfect for driving on. Roadways are everywhere in the world and are in need of constant repair especially up north where the roads get snow on them.

The snow melts and gets in between the cracks and when it freezes again, the ice expands and cracks the road. Also, over time as cars are driving on them, potholes form. Caterpillar out did themselves with this amazing drum compactor because roads are being created everyday and in need of repair. The finishing touches of the asphalt process is needed to create a perfect road condition.
