It features a 51-inch compaction width and a 31.5-inch drum diameter, delivering a centrifugal force of up to 7,448 lbs with a nominal amplitude of 0.1 inches for medium and high vibratory compaction. Powered by a Caterpillar 3024C engine, the CB334E produces a net power output of 44.3 hp (33 kW) with a displacement of 135.3 cubic inches, ensuring reliable performance. The roller offers a maximum travel speed of 8 mph (13 kph) and an operating weight of approximately 8,688 lbs, balancing mobility and compaction force effectively. Key dimensions include an overall length of 10.3 feet, overall width of 4.6 feet (operating width 55 inches), steering wheel height at 72 inches, and a ground clearance of about 11.2 inches. The machine incorporates hydraulic drives for the drum and rear wheels, with a vibration frequency of 69 vibrations per minute selectable for front, rear, or both drums. It features a 15-gallon fuel tank and a 79-gallon water spray system to maintain drum surface moisture and improve compaction quality. The hydraulic fluid capacity is 12.7 gallons, supporting efficient system operation. The roller’s turning radius is 118 inches inside, allowing for maneuverability on job sites. Safety and operator comfort are enhanced by ROPS/FOPS structures with a height of 100 inches.
