Featuring four wheels with high-flotation tires, the four-wheel- drive MP550 has dual axle steering and a 12-foot inside turning radius for ease of movement around the jobsite. The concrete hopper design reduces dump box height, and the 5.5-cubic-yard hopper's front lip is just 23 inches off the ground, for receiving a wide range of trucks, and a unique front flop gate eliminates loss while dumping. A 35-foot-long swing conveyor pivots 170 degrees and is designed with a hinge point near the tail pulley to allow for clearing barrier walls and obstructions while minimizing material discharge height. The MP550 has readily accessible components for easy cleaning and maintenance, and features such as an easily upgradeable Tier 4 interim engine, tire-over-track design, extended service intervals and an Eco-Mode that reduces fuel consumption by up to 35 percent all work to lower operating costs. CONVENIENT DESIGN Handle a range of parking lot, road, utility pipe and street projects with the Dynapac CA1300 and CA1500 single-drum soil rollers from Atlas Copco. With cross-mounted engines and hydraulic pumps in line with the engine, operators can reach all components for service and maintenance. Placing the engines perpendicular to the frame also improves weight distribution and reduces the footprint of the units. The CA1300 is powered by a Tier 4 Final, 75-horsepower Kubota diesel engine while the CA1500 has a Tier 4 Interim, 100-horsepower Cummins diesel engine. Both rollers have top-mounted cool air intakes with side vents that combine with the ejector exhaust outlet, minimizing engine noise and preventing dust from being sucked into the engine compartment. The CA1300 features a static linear load of 73 pounds per linear inch, and a 54-inch drum. The CA1500 has 112 PLI and a 66-inch drum. Both units have the ABC system, which prevents operators from over- compacting the soil, as an option.
