Caterpillar CS44B vs Hamm H 13i

The Hamm H 13i is about 86% heavier than the Caterpillar CS44B (13,000 vs 7,000 kg), which usually means more stability and lifting capacity but higher transport weight.

Beyond the numbers, compare local dealer support, parts availability and resale value for Caterpillar and Wirtgen Group in your region: over the life of a machine they often matter more than small specification differences.
