CD44B Caterpillar CD44B Specifications & Technical Data (2012—2021)

No Shock: Comfort Matters

Cat rollers are built to vibrate. Your operators aren’t. That’s why comfort is built into every model. The conveniences help keep your operators fresh, which improves productivity and safety. Comfortable equipment also helps you retain key employees, avoiding additional training and hiring costs.

Under control

The newly designed console for Cat Tandem Vibratory Rollers is convenient, helping operators quickly find what they need, when they need it. The console’s intuitiveness gives operators the confidence they need to leverage the technology, and associated productivity, built into Cat rollers.

Cat compaction control

Cat Compaction Control options help contractors increase efficiency and productivity while recording data for quality control documentation and future planning.

Temperature mapping

Provides a visual readout of mat temperature in order to keep the machine in the proper temperature range. Records and monitors temperature for future analysis of the proper temperature range.

Temperature sensors

Dual infra-red sensors mounted on the front and rear of the machine deliver real-time temperature readings. Keep operator informed of when to begin rolling and when to stop. Help avoid tender-zones that often occur in the 104°-110° C (219°-230° F) temperature range. Optimal mat temperatures for compaction. Upper limit is around 149° C (300° F). Lower limit is around 85° C (185° F). Eliminates hand-held devices.

Staying power

The B-Series tandem rollers are powered by Cat engines. The engines include a variety of features that help reduce fuel burn, yet still deliver the power required on challenging jobsites. Tough components help extend compactor life.

How Cat Tandem Vibratory Rollers Deliver

Cat Tandem Vibratory Rollers feature more drum choices, increased amplitude and improved technology to help you quickly reach quality targets. The industry’s longest service intervals reduce the use of consumables and keep the machines running day after day, from dawn to dusk. Don’t forget to factor in a high resale value because of the legendary Cat durability.

Solid drums = vibratory system versatility

Solid drum models offer more vibratory choices to match your amplitude and frequency requirements, and perform particularly well in high-production applications.

Done Right, Done Now

Cat Tandem Vibratory Rollers quickly reach target densities due to their versatile frequency and amplitude selections. These powerful rollers also provide finesse when necessary due to their flexible front or rear drum only vibratory capability.

Keep work flowing

The water tank on Cat tandem vibratory rollers has the capacity to keep your crew moving for hours. The system also is designed to prevent clogging and keep the entire roller drum wet—and the asphalt where it belongs.

Compaction meter value (cmv)

CMV technology utilizes a drum-mounted accelerometer to measure and record forces of the vibrating drum. A unit-less value calculation derived from the recorded data provides an indication of stiffness. The unit-less value calculation is referred to as a "composite stiffness value" that indicates stiffness of the current and supporting layers beneath the drum. Capable of utilizing RTK level accuracy to provide the highest level of Global Navigation Satellite System positioning (GNSS). The system is able to correlate compaction, frequency, and pass-count data to specific locations.
