consists of two basic components, an integral torque converter and a three-speed powershift transmission.

1-5. Operational Concept. The CCE Compactor can be deployed world- wide in all areas and altitudes where high

volume compaction is feasible. The compactor is intended for use in construction operations for:

Compacting to a high density a full range of soils except clean sand.

Performing limited dozing or "striking off" functions. It will be issued as a replacement for towed sheepsfoot

rollers (LIN S12438).
