Located in Knoxville, Iowa, Weiler manufactures equipment for the paving market. Weiler equipment is based on proven designs that have a successful track record in the field. We work closely with contractors to ensure our products provide the features they require to complete projects in a timely and efficient manner.
Weiler is a cutting-edge manufacturer with 340,000 square feet of manufacturing space. The facility is equipped with machining tools, welding, powder and wet paint and assembly, allowing Weiler to better control quality and delivery for the majority of their machine components.
The base designs for our self-propelled road wideners and asphalt windrow elevators were created by Barber-Greene, a company that was purchased by Caterpillar® in the early 1990s. Weiler purchased the designs from Cat® in 2005 and established the Weiler brand name. Since then, we have made updates based on input from our customers and introduced extensions to both lines as well as expanding the Weiler line by adding self propelled material transfer vehicles, a commercial paver, static rollers, tack distributors, highway class front mount screeds and rock drills. Our mission at Weiler is to continue to invest in improvements and fill other needs of the market.
Weiler equipment is available exclusively at Cat® dealers throughout North America.
