CATERPILLAR CB24B XT STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The Caterpillar CB24B XT is a versatile smooth drum roller designed for efficient compaction in small to mid-sized construction projects. It features a 28-inch diameter, 47-inch wide smooth steel drum with vibration frequencies selectable among 42, 52, and 63 vibrations per minute, delivering a centrifugal force range of 3,282 to 7,374 pounds per drum for superior soil and asphalt compaction. Powered by a Cat C1.5 engine producing 36.2 horsepower (27 kW), the machine ensures reliable performance and fuel efficiency with a 17-gallon fuel tank and a 62-gallon water spray system to prevent material buildup on the drum surface. The CB24B XT has an operating weight of approximately 6,885 pounds, with front and rear drum weights of 3,298 and 3,588 pounds, respectively. Its compact dimensions include an overall length of 8.5 feet, width of 4.4 feet, a maximum machine height of 106 inches, and an 11-inch ground clearance. The roller maintains a maximum travel speed of 7.5 mph (11 kph) and a tight turning radius of approximately 8 feet (96–97 inches inside drum edge), enhancing maneuverability on job sites. Additional features include a nominal vibration amplitude of 0.1 inches on the highest setting and a static linear load of 73 pounds per inch, promoting effective, uniform compaction. This model is ideal for small parking lots, lane additions, and shoulder work, offering high compaction productivity with low operating costs and easy control through smooth steering and advanced vibratory systems.
