Three utility-sized asphalt compactors
The Caterpillar CB-214E, CB-224E and CB-225E vibratory asphalt compactors are utility-sized models.
The CB-214E is a double drum model with a 1000 mm (39 inch) compaction width. It has an operating weight of 2450 kg (5,400 pounds). The CB-214E is well suited for rental customers and contractors or agencies that maintain streets, roads, alleys or are adding paths to parks and recreation areas. In these applications, the tight turning radius and easy maneuverability make it a perfect match.
The CB-224E also is a double drum roller and has a compaction width of 1200 mm (47 inches). It has an operating weight of 2630 kg (5,800 pounds). The high amplitude and width give the CB-224E the capacity to achieve a tons-per-day production rate that make it an excellent match for shoulders, small parking lots, lane additions or other similarly sized jobs.
The CB-225E provides more versatility because of its combi configuration. It has a 1200 mm (47-inch) wide drum at the front, and the rear end is equipped with four smooth tires. It has an operating weight of 2300 kg (5,070 pounds). The combi roller can take the place of two compactors by providing the benefits of both a vibratory and a pneumatic compactor.
The hydrostatic propel system provides smooth starts and stops. It also provides service braking. A brake interlock prevents the machines from being propelled while the brakes are applied.
All three models have a high-frequency vibratory system that generates 63 Hz (3,780 vpm). The CB-214E and CB-224E provide three vibratory modes, front drum only, rear drum only (optional) or both drums. With their high centrifugal force, frequency and amplitude, the CB-214E and CB-224E can reach density requirements in only a few passes. The drums have a pod-style housing that encloses the fixed eccentric weight.
The rollers have a high curb clearance, allowing them to work along vertical obstructions.
These new models are simple to operate, allowing the least experienced crew member to operate them, making them a good fit for rental stores. In addition, the machines are quiet for the operator and spectators.
