CATERPILLAR CS563 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

The Caterpillar CS563 Static Smooth Drum Roller is a heavy-duty compaction machine designed for high productivity on soil, granular, and asphalt surfaces. It features an 83.9-inch wide smooth steel drum with a 59.9-inch diameter, delivering a high centrifugal force of 50,000 lbs and a low setting of 35,000 lbs for versatile compaction performance. Vibration frequency is 30 Hz (1,800 vpm), providing consistent, high-impact compaction across a range of materials. Power is supplied by a Cat 3116 turbocharged diesel engine with a 6.6L (402.8 cu in) displacement, rated at 145 hp (108 kW) gross power, ensuring reliable operation under demanding conditions. The roller has an operating weight of 24,537.5 lbs, contributing to high static line load and excellent ground contact for effective compaction. It is equipped with 23.1x26 flotation tires and offers a maximum travel speed of 8 mph (13 km/h) for efficient site mobility. The machine measures 17.3 ft in length, 8 ft in width, and 9.9 ft in height to the top of the cab, providing a compact yet stable footprint. Standard fluid capacities include a 67.1-gallon fuel tank, 4-gallon engine oil system, and 34.9-gallon hydraulic system, supporting extended operating cycles with reduced downtime for servicing.
