CATERPILLAR CS583E STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The Caterpillar CS583E is a static smooth drum roller designed for efficient soil compaction with a robust build and advanced features. It operates with a turbocharged Caterpillar 3056E ATAAC diesel engine delivering 150.2 hp (143.5 hp net), 366.2 cubic inch displacement, and a hydrostatic transmission allowing a maximum speed of 7.1 mph. The machine weighs 34,017 lbs and measures 19.2 ft in overall length, 7 ft in width, and 10.1 ft in height to the top of the cab. Its 60-inch diameter drum applies a static linear load of 657.2 pounds per inch with a high vibration frequency of 30 vpm and dual centrifugal forces – 74,636.6 lbs (high) and 37,318.3 lbs (low) – to achieve precise compaction. The drum’s nominal amplitude is 0.1 inches at both high and low settings. Ground clearance is 17.7 inches, supported by 23.1x26 tires, with an inside turning radius of 145 inches and a wheelbase of 9.6 ft. Fluid capacities include 87.2 gallons for fuel, 6.9 gallons for the cooling system, 3.2 gallons for engine oil, and 17 gallons for hydraulics, operating on a 24-volt electrical system with a 55-amp alternator. The CS583E features an operator-focused cab with good visibility due to a one-piece sloped hood design and safety-enhancing ergonomics. Its pod-style eccentric weights enable tailored compactive effort with minimal service requirements, making it versatile for various soil densities in roadwork and construction applications.
