CATERPILLAR CB15 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The 2023 Caterpillar CB15 Static Smooth Drum Roller is a robust asphalt compactor powered by a 131 hp engine with a 276 cu in displacement, delivering efficient and reliable performance. It has an operating weight of 22,046 lb and a fuel capacity of 66 gallons. The machine features an 84-inch wide smooth drum, 60.2 inches in diameter, and applies a static linear load of 157 lb/in, making it suitable for high-quality compaction tasks. Its vibratory system operates at a frequency of 33.3 Hz with a nominal high amplitude of 0.067 inches, generating a centrifugal force of 28,439 lb on the drum for effective soil and asphalt compaction. The roller can reach a maximum travel speed of 7.5 mph and maintain gradeability up to 60% without vibration. The inside turning radius is 14.1 feet, offering good maneuverability on construction sites. Designed with durability and productivity in mind, this model supports precise compaction control through advanced vibratory features and ergonomic operation, including water spray systems to minimize material build-up on the drum surface. Its static rolling capability combined with vibratory options makes the CB15 an adaptable solution for urban and rural road construction, highways, and other heavy-duty applications requiring consistent mat density and surface smoothness. This compactor balances fuel economy with performance, optimized for high-production environments in diverse soil and asphalt conditions.
