Technical Description
The Caterpillar CB22B Static Smooth Drum Roller is a compact and versatile tandem vibratory roller designed for efficient compaction in small to medium-sized construction projects. It features a 28-inch diameter, 39-inch wide smooth steel drum that provides a standard compaction width of 39 inches, complemented by a static linear load of 72 lbs per inch for effective soil and asphalt compaction. Powered by a Cat C1.5 engine delivering 36.2 horsepower (27 kW), it ensures reliable performance while maintaining fuel efficiency with a 17-gallon fuel tank capacity. The CB22B offers a maximum operating weight of 5,629 lbs, with a front drum weight of 2,669 lbs and rear drum weight of 2,960 lbs, aiding in achieving optimal ground contact and compaction force.
Its vibratory system includes three selectable frequencies (42, 52, and 63 vpm) and centrifugal forces ranging from 2,878 to 6,475 lbs per drum, allowing tailored compaction for various materials and job conditions. The machine’s nominal amplitude at high settings is 0.1 inches. Measuring 8.5 feet in length, 3.7 feet in width, and standing 102 inches tall, the CB22B is highly maneuverable with a tight turning radius of 105 inches inside the drum edge. It reaches a top travel speed of 7.5 mph, enabling quick repositioning on site. Additionally, the hydraulic power assist steering enhances smooth handling, and a 62-gallon water spray system prevents drum material buildup, ensuring effective compaction performance over extended operation periods. The CB22B’s compact size, powerful vibratory system, and efficient engine make it an ideal choice for small parking lots, lane additions, and shoulder compaction projects.
