Consider factors such as the typical paving width required for your projects, production capacity needs, and maneuverability requirements. Our listings provide detailed specifications, including paving widths (e.g., 8' to 20' for larger models like the AP1055F) and hopper capacities, to help you make an informed decision.

Regular maintenance is crucial for optimal performance. Check the equipment's hour meter readings, service history, and any noted repairs or issues. Pay attention to key components like engines, hydraulic systems, and wear parts such as screed plates and conveyor belts. Consider budgeting for potential repairs or updates when bidding on older models.

Caterpillar is known for its durability, reliability, and innovative features in the paving industry. Their equipment often offers advanced grade and slope control systems, efficient material handling, and versatile paving widths. Additionally, Caterpillar's widespread dealer network can provide easier access to parts and service support.

Purple Wave doesn't provide transportation, but we can assist with logistics recommendations. For large equipment like pavers or reclaimers, you'll typically need a lowboy trailer and may require special permits for oversized loads. Consider factors such as equipment dimensions, weight, and any state-specific transportation regulations.

Caterpillar soil stabilizers and reclaimers, such as the RM-350B and SS-250 models, are versatile machines used for soil stabilization and full-depth reclamation. Pay attention to cutting width, depth capabilities, and engine power. These machines often have high hour readings due to their nature of work, so focus on overall condition and maintenance history.

The screed is a critical component of any paver. Check the screed type (e.g., Extend-A-Mat, SE10F), paving width range, and heating system (electric or diesel). Look for information on recent replacements or repairs to the screed plates, extensions, and heating elements. A well-maintained screed system is essential for achieving high-quality, smooth pavements.

Newer Caterpillar paving equipment often includes advanced features like automated grade and slope control systems, material flow sensors, and onboard diagnostics. Look for models with Caterpillar or compatible third-party (e.g., Topcon) grade control systems, which can significantly improve paving precision and efficiency. Some models may also offer telematics capabilities for remote monitoring and management.
