CATERPILLAR CB22 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

The Caterpillar CB22 static smooth drum roller is a versatile compaction machine designed for small to medium-sized jobs such as shoulders, parking lots, and lane additions. It features a 39-inch (1000 mm) wide drum with a diameter of 28 inches (720 mm) and a nominal vibration frequency range of 3,780 to 3,300 vpm (63/55 Hz), enabling efficient compaction with a high centrifugal force of up to 6,475 lb per drum. The static linear load is 72 lb/in, providing effective soil compression. Powered by a Caterpillar engine delivering approximately 33 horsepower, the machine has a maximum travel speed of 7.5 mph (12 km/h). Its operating weight is approximately 5,629 lb (2,553 kg), ensuring stability and effective compaction pressure. The CB22 has an overall width of about 3.9 to 4 ft (1.0 to 1.11 m), an overall length of roughly 8.4 feet (98 to 101 in / ~2.57 m), and a maximum height near 102 inches (2.6 m) with a Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS). Its inside turning radius is 8.7 to 8.75 ft (2.64 to 2.67 m), allowing good maneuverability on confined sites. The fuel tank capacity is around 17 gallons (64 liters), supporting extended operation periods. Equipped with priority-demand hydraulic power assist steering for precise control, the CB22 roller balances power, maneuverability, and compaction performance, making it well-suited for a variety of construction and maintenance applications requiring smooth soil surfaces. Maintenance intervals on vibration components are extended to reduce operating costs, and optional features can enhance versatility and efficiency.
