CATERPILLAR CD54B STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

The Caterpillar CD54B is a robust 10-ton static smooth drum roller designed for superior compaction performance on asphalt and granular materials. It features dual 67-inch (1700 mm) tandem vibratory drums with a drum diameter of 47 inches (1198 mm) and a static linear load of 165 lb/in, delivering powerful compaction force with a maximum centrifugal force of 17,602 lb per drum. The machine offers dual amplitude and frequency vibratory settings (nominal amplitude 0.1 in, vibration frequency 45-53.3 vpm) tailored for both thin and thick lifts, with an automatic system to match amplitude and frequency for efficient operation. Powered by a Cat C3.4B ACERT engine producing 102 hp (75 kW), the CD54B meets stringent EPA Tier 4 Interim and EU Stage IIIB emission standards. Its hydrostatic transmission allows a maximum travel speed of 7.5 mph, and it incorporates a smooth operating powertrain with front and rear pivoting drums that enhance turning performance and reduce mat tearing. The machine has a turning radius of approximately 111 inches inside the drum and an operating width of 74 inches, with a maximum compaction width of up to 118 inches when utilizing drum offset. Dimensionally, the machine measures 14.17 ft in length, 6.17 ft in width, and stands 118 inches high with ROPS/FOPS. It weighs up to 22,311 lb with cab and offers excellent ground clearance at 10 inches and curb clearance of 31 inches. Operator comfort and control are optimized through features like integrated vibratory controls, Cat Compaction Control system, and an advanced water spray system for drum cooling. This combination of power, versatility, and control makes the CD54B well-suited for highway, street, and parking lot compaction projects.
