CATERPILLAR CS44 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The Caterpillar CS44 static smooth drum roller is a robust vibratory soil compactor designed for efficient compaction of granular and cohesive materials. It features a 66-inch wide, 48-inch diameter steel drum with a maximum centrifugal force of 30,000 lb and a vibration frequency of 31.9 Hz (1914 vpm), enabling effective soil density improvement. The compactor’s operating width is 71 inches, with an inside turning radius of approximately 121 inches, providing maneuverability on site. Powered by a Cat C4.4 engine delivering 100 hp, the machine supports high productivity with a maximum travel speed of 7.6 mph. Its operating weight is about 15,212 lb with ROPS/FOPS canopy and 15,961 lb with a cab, ensuring optimal ground contact pressure with static linear loads of 114 lb/in (ROPS/FOPS) and 117.2 lb/in (cab). Additional dimensions include an 8.5 ft wheelbase, overall length of 16.68 ft, and a height of 9.75 ft, combined with a ground clearance of 1.35 ft. The drum weight is approximately 7,515 lb (ROPS/FOPS) or 7,738 lb (cab). The CS44 is equipped with a dual pump propel system, hydrostatic transmission, and optional features such as a leveling blade, padfoot shell kit, and ROPS/FOPS cab with climate control. Designed for construction and road building applications, it provides solid compaction performance, superb operator comfort, and precise control to ensure soil stability and surface smoothness.
