CATERPILLAR CS533E STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The Caterpillar CS533E Static Smooth Drum Roller is a rugged compaction machine designed for high productivity and reliability in soil and asphalt compaction. It features a turbocharged Cat 3054C diesel engine delivering a gross power of 130.1 hp (97 kW) and net power of 124.8 hp (92 kW), with a displacement of 268.6 cubic inches (4.4 liters). The engine includes direct injection, turbocharged aspiration, and air-to-air aftercooling for improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions. The unit’s operating weight is approximately 23,898 lbs (10,840 kg), ensuring optimal ground contact for effective compaction. The CS533E is equipped with an 84.1-inch-wide, 60.4-inch-diameter static smooth drum that produces centrifugal forces of up to 52,605 lbs on the high setting and 29,900 lbs on the low setting, with vibration frequencies of 31 and 34 Hz respectively. The static linear load is 384.1 pounds per inch, facilitating uniform compaction. The machine has a maximum travel speed of 7.5 mph (12 km/h) and operates on 24 volts with a 55-amp alternator. Key dimensions include a ground clearance of 21.4 inches, overall length of 18.1 feet, width of 7.6 feet, height to the top of the cab measuring 10.1 feet, and a wheelbase of 9.6 feet. The roller rides on 23.1x26 tires and carries adequate fluid capacities with a 52.9-gallon fuel tank and a 15.9-gallon hydraulic system. This combination of power, weight, and drum specifications makes the Caterpillar CS533E an efficient and durable choice for heavy-duty compaction tasks in construction and road building.
