CATERPILLAR CB545 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The Caterpillar CB545 Static Smooth Drum Roller is a heavy-duty compaction machine designed for road construction and large-scale soil compaction projects. It features a 4-foot diameter smooth front drum with a width of 67 inches, delivering a high centrifugal force of 17,757 lbs for effective static compaction. The roller is powered by a robust 4-cylinder Caterpillar 3054 DINA diesel engine with a displacement of 244.1 cubic inches, producing 80 hp at 2200 rpm. This engine offers reliable performance and efficient power delivery, ideal for heavy compaction work. The roller has an operating weight of 20,750 lbs, optimizing ground contact for improved soil density. Its overall length is approximately 13.8 feet with a wheelbase of 9.9 feet and a height to the top of the cab of 9.9 feet, providing a balanced and maneuverable footprint for varied job site conditions. The machine’s fuel capacity is 55 gallons, complemented by a hydraulic system fluid capacity of 14.6 gallons, supporting sustained operating periods. Standard tires are sized at 13/80-20, ensuring stability and durability on rough terrain. With a maximum travel speed of 12.4 mph, the CB545 effectively balances compaction force and productivity, making it suitable for use on rigid and granular materials. This roller combines solid structural dimensions with a dependable powertrain to deliver consistent, precise compaction results in demanding construction environments.
