CATERPILLAR CB54 XW STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The Caterpillar CB54 XW is a tandem vibratory smooth drum roller designed for high-performance asphalt compaction. It features a 79-inch (2000 mm) drum width and 51-inch (1300 mm) drum diameter, delivering a standard compaction width of 79 inches with a static linear load of 166 lb/in (29.7 kg/cm). The machine has an operating weight of 26,230 lb (11,898 kg), an overall length of 16.17 ft (194 in), and an overall width of 7 ft (87 in), with a maximum height of 121 in (3071 mm). It is powered by a Cat C4.4 engine with ACERT Technology, producing 137 hp (102 kW) and meeting U.S. EPA Tier 3 emissions standards. The vibratory system offers dual frequency operation at 63.3 Hz (3,800 vpm) and 42 Hz (2,520 vpm), with nominal amplitudes of 0.03 in (0.96 mm) high and 0.01 in (0.30 mm) low, and a maximum centrifugal force per drum of 24,729 lb (110 kN). The CB54 XW provides a maximum travel speed of 8 mph (13 km/h) and a tight turning radius of 13.08 ft (4000 mm) inside the drum edge, enhancing maneuverability on job sites. It includes a 50-gallon (191 L) fuel tank and a 290-gallon (1100 L) water spray tank to support extended operation. With a wheelbase of 143 in (3640 mm), curb clearance of 34 in (868 mm), and ground clearance of 8.5 in (217 mm), the roller is engineered for stability, efficiency, and operator comfort in demanding asphalt applications.
