CATERPILLAR CS34 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The Caterpillar CS34 static smooth drum roller is optimized for small compaction projects and confined job sites, featuring a robust Cat C3.4B engine delivering 74 hp (55 kW) with a 3.9-inch bore and 4.4-inch stroke. Its 50-inch wide drum, 40-inch diameter, and a maximum centrifugal force of 15,000 lbs enable efficient soil compaction with a vibratory frequency of 2100 VPM (35 Hz) and a nominal amplitude of 0.05 inches. The roller measures 13.8 feet in length, 4.6 feet in width, and rises 98 inches to the top of the ROPS/FOPS canopy, providing compact maneuverability with an inside turning radius of 103 inches and an outside drum-edge turning radius of 153 inches. It has a maximum travel speed of 5.5 mph and maintains excellent ground clearance at approximately 13.6 inches to negotiate uneven terrain. The machine weighs 9,799 lbs operationally, with the drum section weighing 4,500 lbs, supported by 6-ply flotation tires for stability and traction. Fuel capacity is 30 gallons, ensuring extended jobsite operation without frequent refueling. The CS34's vibration system and powertrain are designed for high productivity, capable of quickly achieving density with fewer passes, ideal for trench compaction and utility applications where precise and reliable soil consolidation is essential. Its compact footprint, combined with advanced vibratory technology and a reliable engine, makes the CS34 a versatile and efficient compactor for tight spaces and smaller workload demands.
