CATERPILLAR CB525 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The Caterpillar CB525 static smooth drum roller is a heavy-duty compaction machine designed for soil and asphalt applications. It features a robust F5L 912 engine with 286.9 cubic inches displacement, delivering 83 horsepower (62 kW) to provide consistent power and reliability. The roller's static drum measures 53.2 inches in diameter and 67 inches in width, generating a high centrifugal force of 23,260 lbs to effectively compact surfaces. Its vibration frequency is set at 42 vibrations per minute, optimizing the compaction process without compromising surface integrity. The CB525 has an overall height to the top of the cab of 9.9 feet, a length of 16.3 feet, and a width of 6.5 feet, balancing maneuverability with operational stability. It weighs 29,101 lbs, ensuring substantial ground contact and compaction force. The roller operates with hydraulic system fluid capacity of 25.1 gallons, engine oil capacity of 3.2 gallons, and fuel capacity of 26.5 gallons, supporting extended usage onsite. It attains a maximum speed of 8.1 mph, suitable for controlled compaction tasks. The rear wheels use 17/80 R 24 tires, contributing to traction and even weight distribution. This model’s engineering supports efficient, uniform compaction for construction projects requiring precise soil or asphalt validation under static rolling performance. Overall, the CB525 is a reliable choice in Caterpillar’s smooth drum roller category for medium to large-scale compaction jobs.
