The primary application for the CS142 is the compaction of asphalt in limited course thicknesses, i.e., about 25 to 50 mm, depending on stiffness of the asphalt compound and the prevailing weather conditions. The large width, 2100 mm, ensures a relatively high surface capacity. This machine is suitable for medium size and large size applications. In areas where vibration in the ground should be avoided, i.e., close to buildings and on bridges, it is an ideal machine.The CS142 can also be used for the compaction of coarse-grained soil that does not have a content of fine material that is too high. For efficient compaction the maximum size of rock should not exceed 1/3, preferably 1/5, of the course thickness to minimize bridging.
