CATERPILLAR CS74B STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

The 2023 Caterpillar CS74B Static Smooth Drum Roller is a robust soil compactor engineered for efficient granular soil applications. It is powered by a 131 hp gross power engine with a 269 cu in displacement, delivering a net power of 128 hp. The machine features an 84-inch width smooth drum that weighs 15,857 lb, contributing to an operating weight of 28,000 lb. Its fuel capacity is 66 gallons, supporting extended operation. The compactor attains a maximum speed of 6.8 mph both forward and reverse. The high-frequency vibratory system operates at 31 Hz with a nominal amplitude of 0.067 inches, generating a centrifugal force of 33,362 lb for effective soil compaction. The static linear load is rated at 186 lb/in, optimizing surface pressure distribution. Its compact dimensions with ROPS (Roll Over Protective Structure) measure 90 inches in width, 117 inches in height, and 204 inches in length. This configuration enables excellent maneuverability and operator safety. The CS74B is designed to deliver powerful compaction performance with enhanced durability, fuel efficiency, and operator comfort, making it suitable for large-scale earthmoving and infrastructure projects where consistent and reliable compaction is critical.
