Overview
Preserve Productivity and Efficiency
The GC CP12 vibrating soil compactors guarantee reliable and cost-effective production while delivering performance that exceeds all your expectations.
AdvantagesReduced Operating Costs
Up to 15% fuel savings in Eco mode, an exclusive sealed eccentric weight housing vibration system with 3-year/3,000-hour maintenance intervals, and a maintenance-free hitch with sealed bearings.
More Efficient
Thanks to the exclusive MDP technology, which provides compaction information, onboard compaction measurements streamline the process. Scalable solutions, such as mapping and machine-to-machine communication, enable the implementation of a connected worksite.
Improved Driver Comfort
With the new rear camera, visibility is improved. The standard tilt steering column offers the driver greater versatility, and our integrated backlit display console pivots with the seat.

Comfortable and ergonomic driving position
The steering console is equipped with an LCD screen. This screen provides diagnostics and additional data to the driver. Machines equipped with Cat compaction control also display compaction measurements on this screen. A multi-position steering wheel adjusts for added comfort. The adjustable vinyl seat with a seat belt is comfortable and provides easy access to controls and operating information. The 12-volt adapter powers personal electronic devices. A floor mat reduces vibrations. Cup holders are located on the steering column. Large mirrors provide excellent rear views. The driver benefits from excellent visibility at the front; the edges of the cylinder, the edges of the rear tires, and the rear of the machine enhance safety and optimize production. Optional mirrors offer improved visibility to the rear.
Powertrain Group
The GC vibrating soil compactors are equipped with a Cat engine that offers greater efficiency, easier maintenance, significant power, and reduced noise levels.
Technologies That Improve Quality and Productivity
The Cat compaction control can be improved by adding a GNSS mapping antenna (Global Navigation Satellite System) and a dedicated display system. This allows achieving SBAS (Satellite Based Augmentation System) level accuracy, which allows the driver to visually monitor the results, associate them with locations, and record the data for analysis or documentation purposes. GNSS RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) mapping functionality is also available, offering greater accuracy than SBAS technology. MDP (Machine Drive Power) technology is an exclusive technology only available on Caterpillar machines. It indicates the soil stiffness by measuring the rolling resistance. Suitable for all types of soil, it works when the cylinder remains fixed or vibrates. MDP technology measures the depth closer to the compacted material layers, at approximately 30-60 cm (1-2 ft) depth. MDP technology is a flexible technology as it is suitable for all types of soils, allowing for comparison with results from portable measuring equipment such as falling weight deflectometers and nuclear gauges. It does not require the cylinder to vibrate, reducing the risk of loosening during control rolling.
Easy Maintenance
The design allows easy access to all ground-level maintenance points. Long maintenance intervals increase productivity and reduce operating costs. The oil drain interval for the vibration system is 3 years/3,000 operating hours. The hydraulic oil drain interval is 3,000 hours. The engine oil drain interval is 500 hours.
Reliable Vibration System
The GC vibrating soil compactors offer excellent compaction performance thanks to their high amplitude and static linear load. The GC machines use the proven Cat sealed eccentric weight vibration system. The design of the circuit significantly reduces the risk of contamination, which is common in conventional designs that use metal counterweights. Offering unmatched reliability and performance, the Cat sealed eccentric weight vibration system requires virtually no maintenance, with the first maintenance period set at 3 years or 3,000 hours. An automatic vibration function ensures more uniform compaction. If the vibration is engaged, it stops when the speed of the compactor becomes lower than a predetermined value. When the translation resumes, the vibration restarts at a predetermined speed. This functionality contributes to the high quality and uniformity of the work. The smooth cylinders are perfectly suited for compacting granular materials and can be equipped with an optional padfoot kit for compacting cohesive or semi-cohesive soil.
