CATERPILLAR CS64 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The Caterpillar CS64 Static Smooth Drum Roller is a heavy-duty compaction machine designed for granular soil applications, featuring a robust Cat C6.6 engine delivering 156 hp gross power. It has an overall width of approximately 7.5 ft (90 in) with an 84-inch wide smooth drum and a drum diameter of 60 inches, providing excellent ground contact for uniform compaction. The machine’s inside turning radius is about 12.1 ft, allowing good maneuverability on job sites. It weighs around 31,389 lb with ROPS/FOPS and 31,901 lb with a cab, ensuring substantial static linear load of approximately 234 lb/in for effective soil densification. The roller offers a maximum travel speed of about 6.9 mph and features a pod-style vibratory system operating at a frequency range between 1,400 to 1,914 vibrations per minute (vpm), with dual amplitude settings providing nominal amplitudes from 0.035 to 0.1 inches for varied compaction needs. Maximum centrifugal force is approximately 63,300 lb, optimizing compactive effort. The machine includes optional features such as a leveling blade with a 27-inch height, extending its versatility, with an overall length extending to 21 ft when equipped. Ground clearance is around 21.1 inches, aiding mobility on uneven terrain. The CS64’s heavy-duty construction includes a rigid frame with articulation and oscillation capabilities, power-assist steering with a ±34° angle for precise control, and flotation tires sized 23.1 x 26 inches to enhance traction. This roller combines Caterpillar’s proven engineering for durability, serviceability, and high compaction performance in demanding construction environments.
