CATERPILLAR CB15 CW VV STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

The 2024 Caterpillar CB15 CW VV Static Smooth Drum Roller is a high-performance compaction machine designed for asphalt and soil applications. It is powered by a robust 131 hp engine with a 276 cubic inch displacement, delivering reliable power to achieve efficient compaction. The roller has an operating weight of 22,046 lb and features an 84-inch wide smooth drum, providing a static linear load of 157 lb/in for effective soil and asphalt densification. The machine’s vibratory system operates at a frequency of 33.3 Hz with a nominal high amplitude of 0.067 inches, generating a centrifugal force of 28,400 lb to optimize compaction depth and effectiveness. It offers a maximum travel speed of 7.5 mph and can climb grades up to 60% without vibration, enhancing maneuverability on inclined surfaces. The steering system provides a ±33-degree angle and a tight turning radius of 14 feet inside the drum edge, allowing for precise control and operation in confined spaces. Fuel capacity is 66 gallons, supporting extended work hours. This model emphasizes operational efficiency, high compaction force, and versatile control, making it suitable for road construction, urban infrastructure, and other demanding compaction tasks requiring static and vibratory performance.
