Dynapac CA1300/1400 soil compactors are vibratory roller designed for compaction operations in pipe trenches, compacting roads, streets, repair work, and parking lots. 

These five to seven ton rollers pack have enhanced maneuverability which also make them a great option for compaction on large building foundations, industrial construction sites, steep slopes, and in cramped spaces in connection with refilling work.  

The PD version, equipped with pads and drum drive, is especially suitable for the compaction of silt and clayey soils. The PD version can be equipped with leveling blade and the D version with pad shell kit.
