Sakai Marks 1,000th Compactor Milestone at Georgia Plant

Sakai said its 1,000th SV544 soil compactor rolled off the floor of its factory in Adiarsville, Georgia.

The SV544 is an 84-inch roller with several possible frequency and amplitude combinations. It is available in smooth drum, padfoot, padfoot with blade, and with smooth or padfoot shells.

The milestone unit was a SV544TBCF and is heading to a dealer in the western U.S., according to the company.
