CATERPILLAR CS533C STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The Caterpillar CS533C Vibratory Smooth Drum Roller is a heavy-duty compaction machine designed for effective soil and asphalt rolling. It features a large 96-inch diameter and 84-inch width smooth steel drum that delivers centrifugal forces of 24,060 lbs on high vibration and 12,030 lbs on low vibration settings, optimizing compaction performance. Powered by a reliable Caterpillar 3116T turbocharged diesel engine with a 6.6-liter inline 6-cylinder configuration, it produces a gross power output of 145 hp (108 kW). The engine displacement is 402.8 cubic inches, with a fuel capacity of 58.2 gallons and an engine oil capacity of 5.3 gallons, ensuring extended operation between refueling and maintenance. The hydraulic system fluid capacity is 29.1 gallons, supporting the vibratory system and steering functions. Physically, the machine measures approximately 17.3 feet in length, 8 feet in width, and 8.3 feet in height to the top of the cab, with a wheelbase of 9 feet and ground clearance of 19.1 inches. Operating weight is about 20,717 lbs, balancing maneuverability with sufficient mass for compaction. The roller’s maximum speed is 8 mph, suitable for controlled and efficient site operations. Equipped with heavy-duty 23.1X26 tires rated for 8-ply, the CS533C offers durability across varying terrain types. This combination of robust power, effective vibration, and structural design positions the CS533C as a reliable smooth drum roller for medium to large-scale compaction tasks in construction and roadwork applications.
