We are manufacturers of the MINI-MITE
Compactor....a compaction tool that every asphalt paving crew needs!

 

 

The Mini-Mite rolls from the edge of a concrete apron and then smoothly compacts the asphalt against the edge of the building and up to the pipe. The Mini-Mite has already returned to the concrete apron and is now making a second pass; this time the zero-clearance edge of the roller hugs the side of the pipe.
The Mini-Mite has gone around the pipe and has backed up to it, successfully compacting the asphalt next to the pipe and along the wall as well. Just after the asphalt  has been spread, the Mini-Mite begins rolling across the surface of the walkway.
The surface is compacted very smoothly, with minimal operator effort. The zero-clearance side of the Mini-Mite is utilized to get total compaction all the way up to the side of the garage wall, without the use of hand-tamps or plate compactors.
The Mini-Mite smooths an area of freshly-laid asphalt, from edge to edge, guaranteeing that the finished-product will have an excellent appearance. The joint between 2 strips of asphalt is easily removed, the extendable handle allows for reaching across mats of up to 15' wide.  The great maneuverability of the Mini-Mite across the mat allows for widespread coverage in minutes.
The Mini-Mite pinches approximately 3-4" of the hot asphalt, making it level with the adjacent concrete surface.  After the edge has been pinched, the Mini-Mite will be used to compact other areas on the mat. A corner section is compacted with the Mini-Mite.  All "detail" areas are quickly and effectively smoothed by the Mini-Mite.
 
The Mini-Mite is used to do initial compaction on an interior section of the mat, after the detail work has been completed.
