Technical Description
The 2019 Caterpillar 953K Static Smooth Drum Roller features a robust Cat C7.1 ACERT diesel engine delivering 160 hp with a displacement of 317.3 cubic inches, optimized for power and fuel efficiency. The machine's operating weight is 34,381 lbs, providing substantial ground contact to ensure stability and compaction effectiveness. It has a fuel capacity of 62.1 gallons and a hydraulic system fluid capacity of 15.8 gallons, supporting prolonged operation and hydraulic performance. The roller includes a static tipping load of 22,451 lbs, indicating high resistance to tipping during operation, enhancing job site safety and reliability. The bucket capacity is 2.4 cubic yards, suitable for material handling and loading applications. Track width measures 20 inches, contributing to a ground pressure of 8.3 psi, which allows the machine to maintain traction and minimize soil disturbance in sensitive areas. With a forward travel speed of 6.2 mph, the machine balances maneuverability and operational efficiency. The design integrates a smooth drum roller for effective soil and asphalt compaction, optimized for static rolling applications. This model is engineered to meet Tier 4 Final emission standards, with engine-mounted aftertreatment for reduced environmental impact. Its hydraulic system incorporates load-sensing technology for responsive implement control. This track loader/roller combination supports diverse construction and compaction tasks with durability, fuel efficiency, and operator-friendly performance features.
Specifications summarized include: 160 hp engine power, 317.3 cu in displacement, 34,381 lbs operating weight, 62.1 gal fuel capacity, 15.8 gal hydraulic fluid, 22,451 lbs tipping load, 2.4 yd³ bucket capacity, 20 in track width, 8.3 psi ground pressure, and 6.2 mph travel speed forward.
