CATERPILLAR CB54 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The Caterpillar CB54 Static Smooth Drum Roller is a robust compaction machine designed for efficient asphalt and granular material compaction. It features tandem vibratory drums, each 67 inches wide, delivering superior mat quality and smooth finishes. The roller has an overall width of 6.6 feet and an inside turning radius of 13.7 feet, enabling excellent maneuverability on job sites. Powered by a Caterpillar C4.4 turbocharged aftercooled engine with ACERT technology, it produces around 133 to 137 horsepower at 2200 rpm, meeting Tier 4 Interim and EU Stage IIIB emission standards for environmentally compliant performance. The machine's operating weight ranges from approximately 22,950 to 23,525 lbs depending on the cab and ROPS/FOPS configuration. Vibratory performance includes a frequency range of 2,520 to 3,800 vibrations per minute (vpm) and nominal amplitude of 0.04 inches (low and high for the CB54), providing effective compaction forces. The centrifugal force per drum varies from about 16,973 to 19,491 lbs, ensuring deep material densification. The CB54 offers a maximum travel speed of 7.5 mph and a ground clearance near 10 inches, adapting well to diverse terrain. Dimensions such as a drum diameter of 47 inches, wheelbase close to 10.8 feet, and curb clearance of 37 inches emphasize its balanced design for stability and operational control. This roller is ideal for medium to heavy-duty compaction tasks where reliability and smooth results are essential.
