CATERPILLAR CB534D XW STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The Caterpillar CB534D XW is a high-performance vibratory smooth drum roller designed for asphalt compaction with an emphasis on productivity and operator comfort. It features a powerful turbocharged Caterpillar engine delivering approximately 125 hp (92 kW) with a displacement of 268.6 cu in, providing efficient power particularly at high altitudes without derating. The machine weighs about 25,882 lbs (11,740 kg) and offers a compaction width of 79 inches (2,000 mm) with a drum diameter of 51.2 inches (1,300 mm). The roller's vibratory system includes dual drums with independent vibration control offering centrifugal forces ranging from approximately 7,922 to 25,208 lbs per drum, and a constant nominal amplitude of 0.1 inches, vibrating at 42 vibrations per minute. The static linear load is 418.2 pounds per inch, enabling effective soil and asphalt compaction. Its hydraulic direct, auto-reversing eccentric weight drive enhances compaction performance by allowing multiple amplitude settings. The CB534D XW is built with a robust frame and a 12-foot wheelbase, featuring a ground clearance around 12 inches to navigate various terrain. It has a maximum speed of 8.1 mph and is equipped with a 58-gallon fuel tank and a 290-gallon water spray tank to assist with drum cleaning during operation. The operator station rotates and slides with multiple ergonomic adjustments, including adjustable seats and a multifunction propel handle, optimizing ease of use and reducing operator fatigue. Overall dimensions assure maneuverability with an inside drum turning radius of about 158 inches. With advanced speed control and a vibration selection system, the CB534D XW delivers consistent, repeatable results on large paving projects while maintaining fuel efficiency and reliability.
