CATERPILLAR CS323 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The Caterpillar CS323 Static Smooth Drum Roller is a compact, powerful compaction machine designed for efficient soil and aggregate compaction. It features a 77 hp Caterpillar 4.236 engine with a displacement of 236.2 cu in, delivering strong performance for a maximum speed of 6.6 mph (10 kph). The roller weighs approximately 9,200 lbs operating weight and has a drum width of 50 inches and a drum diameter of 38.2 inches, generating a centrifugal force of 12,700 lbs to achieve effective compaction. The vibratory system operates at a frequency of 1800 vibrations per minute, enhancing compaction efficiency. Its operating width is 50 inches, supported by tires sized 9.5x24. The machine's dimensions include an overall length of about 14 feet, width of 4.6 feet, and height to the top of the cab near 9.9 feet, with a turning radius of 131.9 inches. Hydraulic system and fuel capacities are both 31.8 gallons, ensuring prolonged operation on site. The CS323’s design emphasizes maneuverability and reliability in confined spaces with its smooth drum and high compactive forces, making it ideal for roadwork, trench backfilling, and other light to medium compaction tasks in construction environments.
