CATERPILLAR CS74 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The Caterpillar CS74 static smooth drum roller is a robust compaction machine designed for efficient soil compaction in construction applications. It features an 84-inch wide smooth steel drum with a 60-inch diameter, providing a compaction width suitable for large-scale projects. The drum operates at a frequency range of 1,400 to 1,800 vibrations per minute (vpm), delivering a high centrifugal force up to 74,600 lb for effective ground consolidation. The CS74 has an overall width of 7 feet and an inside turning radius of approximately 12.1 feet, enhancing maneuverability on site. Powered by a Caterpillar engine, it produces 156 horsepower to ensure reliable performance and power for demanding tasks. The roller measures about 19.25 feet in length and stands approximately 10.08 feet tall with rollover protection (ROPS/FOPS). It has a wheelbase of 9.5 feet and an operating weight of around 34,072 lb with ROPS/FOPS, contributing to its ability to apply static linear loads of about 266.4 lb/in for efficient compaction. The machine's maximum travel speed reaches 6.9 mph, balancing mobility and control. Additional features include dual pump propel system for excellent gradeability and tractive effort, ergonomic operator station for comfort, and a one-piece sloped hood for superior visibility and service access. The CS74 is built with industry-proven Caterpillar technology to maximize productivity, durability, and ease of maintenance in various soil conditions. Optional cabins enhance operator comfort in adverse weather environments. This roller is a powerful, reliable solution for general earthwork and granular soil compaction tasks.
