CATERPILLAR CD54 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The Caterpillar CD54 Static Smooth Drum Roller is a versatile compaction machine designed for efficient asphalt and granular material work. It features dual 47-inch diameter drums, each 67 inches wide, with a maximum compaction width of 118 inches, providing broad coverage for paving projects. The roller operates with a dual-frequency vibratory system at 53/42 Hz (3,180/2,520 vpm) delivering a nominal amplitude of 0.1 inches, generating centrifugal forces between 16,762 and 18,900 pounds per drum. This vibratory system offers effective compaction performance across various materials. Powered by a Caterpillar 3054 DIT engine, it produces a gross power of 99.5 hp, ensuring robust operation and fuel efficiency. The machine weighs approximately 20,944 lb and has an overall length of 14 ft 1 in, width of 6.17 ft (74 in), and a maximum height of 120 inches, with a wheelbase of 10.09 ft (121 in). It boasts a tight turning radius of 110 inches inside the drum edge, enhancing maneuverability in confined spaces. Ground clearance is 14.5 inches, and curb clearance is 30.5 inches. The water spray tank capacity is 198 gallons to prevent asphalt sticking. Maximum travel speed is 5.5 mph. The roller includes a high-capacity fuel tank of 42.3 gallons. The machine’s static linear load is 153 lb/in, promoting effective soil and asphalt compaction. The operator station features multi-position controls and a speed control dial for precise operation. Overall, the CD54 combines power, maneuverability, and reliable vibratory technology for demanding compaction tasks.
