CATERPILLAR CB534D STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The Caterpillar CB534D is a vibratory smooth drum roller engineered for efficient asphalt and soil compaction. It features a turbocharged Caterpillar 3054C engine delivering a gross power of 130.1 hp (97 kW) and net power of 124.8 hp (92 kW), supported by a displacement of 268.6 cubic inches. The machine operates on a 12-volt system with an 80-amp alternator and has a fuel capacity of 57.9 gallons, hydraulic fluid capacity of 15.9 gallons, engine oil of 2.4 gallons, and a cooling system capacity of 5.3 gallons. Its drum measures 51.2 inches in diameter and 67 inches in width with a static linear load of 436.7 pounds per inch. Centrifugal forces vary from 8,093 to 21,806 pounds depending on vibration settings, all vibrating at 42 Hz with a nominal amplitude consistently at 0.1 inches, enabling effective compaction. The roller's operating weight is approximately 23,038 lbs, with a maximum travel speed of 8.1 mph. Ground clearance stands at 12.1 inches, overall length is about 16.3 feet, width 6.1 feet, and cab height 10.2 feet. The turning radius is 164 inches inside, and the wheelbase is 12 feet. Advanced features include automatic speed control for consistent rolling patterns and an operator-focused console with ergonomic controls. The unit integrates heavy-duty rubber mounts for reduced operator vibration and a ±40° steering angle combined with ±4° frame oscillation for smooth handling and uniform drum loading. This roller balances power, precision, and operator comfort for reliable compaction performance.
