Operator Comfort

The operator’s station provides a comfortable and user friendly environment that promotes productive operation. Simplified service access and extended service intervals minimize maintenance time and increase machine production.

ROPS Cab

The cab is a spacious and comfortable work environment with more interior room, better ergonomics and a dramatic reduction in interior sound levels. Full-length glass windshield provides exceptional visibility to the drums. Windshield wipers on front and rear windows allow clear vision in adverse conditions. Front and rear working lights are included. The climate control with standard heater and defroster for maximum operator comfort. Optional air conditioning helps keep the cab cool and comfortable.

Reliability and Serviceability

The CB-534D and CB-534D XW Asphalt Compactors continue to provide exceptional reliability and serviceability that you’ve come to expect from Caterpillar.

Vibratory System

Cat 3054C turbocharged diesel engine delivers 97 kW (130 hp) and is built for performance and reliability without sacrificing fuel economy. The cooling system delivers fresh air from above the engine for clean and efficient operation.

Serviceability

The newly designed one-piece fiberglass hood opens upward and rearward to allow access to the engine and daily maintenance points. Daily check points are accessible from ground level. Ground level service is also provided on the water spray system with pumps, filters, and drain valves grouped together and centrally located. Rear mounted cooling system with fresh air intake reduces the need for cleaning. The engine oil change interval has been increased from 250 hours to 500 hours. Vibratory bearing lube service interval of 3 year/3000 hour keeps maintenance to a minimum and maximizes production. The articulation hitch area features sealed-for-life bearings that never need maintenance.

Caterpillar 3054C Diesel Engine

Turbocharged and Air-to-Air-Aftercooled. Turbocharged for top performance and efficiency especially at high altitudes – up to 2500 meters without derating. Direct-injection. Direct-injection of fuel for maximum efficiency. Oil pump. Low-mounted oil pump for quick start-up lubrication. Fuel efficiency. The 3054C engine produces 97 kW (130 hp) at 2200 rpm providing fuel efficiency. Emission requirements. This engine meets EU directive 97/68/EC Stage II emission requirements.

Self-adjusting scrapers

Self-adjusting scrapers are designed for even wear without the need for maintenance. To reduce scraper wear, the scrapers are located for easy ground level access to replace the blades. Scrapers flip up while roading the machine.

Swing-open hood

Large, swing-open hood on the machine provides easy access to routine maintenance points. The hood also provides access to the top of the engine.

Pressure Override (POR) Hydraulic System

Propel and Vibratory Circuits. The Propel and Vibratory Circuits use horsepower efficiently, but not at the sacrifice of performance. POR valve. It balances horsepower demands. Responsive vibratory system. Provides plenty of power and a responsive vibratory system when starting and stopping the machine on each pass.

Standard Two-Amplitude Vibratory System

Amplitude selections. High or low amplitude is selected from the operator station. Direction of weight shaft determines the amplitude level. Vibratory frequency. Vibratory frequency of 42 Hz for high compaction results. Vibration start-up and shut-off. Automatic vibration start-up and shut-off helps produce smooth, flawless mats and also has a manual control for start-and-stop work. Clean oil and long bearing life. Moving parts are separated from lubricating oil helping to keep oil clean and ensuring long bearing life. Bearing oil has a 3 year/3000 hour service interval. Isolation mounts. Improved Isolation mounts allow more force to be transmitted to the ground and less vibration to the operator.

Visibility

The one-piece hood design and vertical folded drum supports provide excellent operator visibility to important areas of the machine including drum edges, drum surfaces, and overall visibility around the machine. Angled supports provide high clearance and visibility for work against barriers and walls.

Water Spray System

Caterpillar’s exclusive dual pump water spray system provides the operator an efficient, easy access drum watering system. A unique single, large polyethylene tank, triple water filtration and infinitely variable spray settings are some of the benefits integrated into the system. An optional overnight freeze protection kit is also available.

Operator’s Station

The new CB-534D and CB-534D XW asphalt compactors feature excellent operator comfort and visibility. A tilting steering column, propel lever wrist rest, and conveniently located and grouped control switches and gauges enhance operator productivity. Heavy-duty isolation mounts provide a smooth ride. Machines with the ROPS/FOPS platform include quick release handrails that can be individually adjusted to accommodate multiple operator positions. For FOPS protection to be effective, the operator must be seated under the canopy.

Automatic Speed Control

Standard ASC control greatly simplifies operation by allowing the operator to preset machine speed or impact spacing. The operator can easily match travel speed with vibrations per minute, ensuring consistent and repeatable rolling patterns with effective compaction results. A cruise control-like system eases operator control of propel speed in forward and reverse, allowing the operator to push the propel lever to the forward and reverse stops while repeating the desired speed or impact spacing.

50/50 Articulation

The CB-534D and CB-534D XW feature 50/50 articulation for evenly balanced weight front to rear. This configuration simplifies operation because both drums track in the same path even while turning. An optional offset hitch further improves control and maneuverability. The centered articulation with 50% of the machine length behind the pivot and 50% forward delivers evenly balanced weight front to rear. Drums track in the same path even in turns. The operator can concentrate on only one drum when entering or leaving a curve, resulting in identical response forward and reverse along any curve. This helps prevent damage to existing structures when moving away from curbs and other objects, builds the operator’s confidence, and improves productivity. The optional offset hitch offsets the rear drum up to ± 170 mm for exceptional control at curbs, barriers, and joints.
