Equipment performance

The terrain of the Dashan Expressway is complex, there are many bridges and tunnels, and the overhaul project has extremely strict requirements on the paver. Why is the Cat® AP655 L paver favored by the construction party? This is determined by its characteristics.
1. The Cat AP655 L paver with National IV emissions and extended hopper has the characteristics of strong power, economy and fuel saving, no need to add urea, low noise, no smoke and dust, and can adapt to various working conditions;
2. With advanced automatic leveling system, high precision and good paving smoothness;
3. The track has the function of automatic tensioning, the traction force is large, no need to grease, the speed is fast, and it does not slip;
4. One-button operation of the fully hydraulic screed is adopted, and the heating of the screed only takes 15 minutes, without delaying the construction progress;
5. The cab has a large space, wide field of vision, and is very convenient for maintenance.
According to the person in charge of the equipment lessor—Chengdu Ruixin Company, this paver has been on site since mid-April to late April. The extremely high construction efficiency and construction effect have won praise from the project party.
