Consider the size and weight of the compactor when arranging transportation. You may need a lowboy trailer and appropriate permits. Purple Wave can provide recommendations for trusted transport companies, but arranging and paying for transportation is the buyer's responsibility.

• Review the detailed specifications and photos in each listing, paying close attention to drum type (smooth or padfoot), width, and diameter to ensure the compactor meets your project requirements.
• Check the hour meter readings and compare them across different models. Lower hours generally indicate less wear, but also consider the machine's age and maintenance history.
• Examine the engine details, such as make (typically Caterpillar or Perkins), number of cylinders, and fuel type. Ensure these specs align with your operational needs and fuel efficiency goals.
• Look for key features like vibratory system type (single or double), operator station configuration (OROPS or enclosed cab), and additional attachments like front blades.
• Consider the tire size and condition, as replacement can be a significant expense for larger models like the CS56 or CP-563.
• Factor in transportation costs, especially for larger models. Purple Wave Shipping, LLC offers free estimates to help you budget accurately.
• Take advantage of open inspection dates when available to personally examine the equipment before bidding.
