CATERPILLAR CB624 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The Caterpillar CB624 is a heavy-duty static smooth drum roller designed for high-production soil and aggregate compaction in large-scale earthwork and road construction. It features a single smooth steel drum with a diameter of 53.6 inches and a compaction width of 82.7 inches, delivering a high centrifugal force of 25,845 lbs at a vibration frequency of 33 vpm for aggressive, deep-layer compaction. Power is supplied by a robust Caterpillar 3208 liquid-cooled diesel engine with a displacement of 634.7 cubic inches, producing 149 hp (111 kW) to ensure reliable performance on demanding jobsites. The roller has an operating weight of 29,762.5 lbs, providing high static linear load for excellent surface finish and density. Key operating specifications include a fuel capacity of 52.9 gallons, 3.7 gallons of engine oil capacity, and 27.8 gallons of hydraulic fluid capacity, supporting extended work cycles with reduced downtime. The machine is dimensioned with an overall length of 15 inches, overall width of 7.9 feet, a wheelbase of 10.2 inches, and 13.4 inches of ground clearance, with a cab height of 9.5 feet for operator visibility. Maximum travel speed is 6.3 mph (10 km/h), allowing efficient movement across large sites while maintaining precise control during compaction passes.
