About · Dynapac CA302Overview
The Dynapac CA302 is a single-drum vibratory soil compactor in the mid-range compaction equipment class, with an operating weight of 12700 kg and an engine output of 125 hp. These specifications position it as a capable machine for demanding earthworks and compaction tasks where consistent compaction depth and machine stability are required. Dynapac is a well-established manufacturer in the road and earthworks equipment sector, and the CA302 reflects the brand's focus on robust, production-oriented compaction equipment.
Typical applicationsWhere this machine is used
Single-drum vibratory compactors of this weight class are commonly used in road subbase preparation, large-scale embankment construction, and earthfill compaction on infrastructure and civil engineering projects. The machine class is also suited to compaction work on industrial site development, dam construction, and airport pavement foundations. Its operating weight makes it appropriate for projects requiring deep lift compaction on cohesive and granular soils.
Used-market inspectionWhat to check before buying
When inspecting a used Dynapac CA302, buyers should assess the condition of the drum shell for cracks, flat spots, or signs of weld repair, as drum integrity directly affects compaction performance. The vibration system, including bearing condition and eccentric weight assemblies, should be checked for smooth operation and absence of abnormal noise under load. Engine service records, hydraulic hose condition, and the articulated steering joint should all be examined carefully, as these are common maintenance points on compactors of this class. Confirm that all technical documentation and service history are available, and where possible, conduct a working demonstration prior to purchase.
Current marketPrice position
The European market average for the Dynapac CA302 is EUR 39900, with the current observed price range also at EUR 39900, indicating a consistent market valuation at this level. Buyers evaluating this model will likely also consider the Hamm H13i and the Vibromax W1105D, both of which compete in the same compactor segment. Comparing the condition, service history, and included documentation across these alternatives is advisable before committing to a purchase.
