2025 Caterpillar Tandem Vibratory Rollers Compactors CB7
SIMPLE AND PRODUCTIVE COMPACTIONThe Cat® CB7 Asphalt Compactor offers enhancements that simplify operation, provide versatility, and deliver excellent fuel economy. Rotary dials, oscillatory vibration, and 360º seating make this compactor a perfect match for urban streets, highways, and other intermediate-type applications.
Features may include:
Simple to Operate, Comfortable, Easy to Learn- Large, full-color displays keep the operator informed of machine functions including water and fuel levels, impact spacing, and mat temperature.
- Innovative hand-wheel steering technology delivers precise control and good forward visibility.
- Machine functions with LED indicators have been independently grouped for simplified control and quick activation.
Work Safer with Enhanced Visibility- LED lighting delivers excellent job site illumination while conserving energy. Strategically placed lighting illuminates the sides of the machine, drum surfaces, and drum edges.
- A green-light beacon mounted on the ROPS/Cab provides indication of seat belt utilization. Beacon illumination can be tailored to "ON" or "OFF" when in compliance.
Easy Vibratory System Setup- Two-amplitude/two frequency vibratory system automatically optimizes amplitude and frequency with a single switch for simple thin/thick lift operation.
- Reach compaction goals with automatic speed control; green indicators help ensure travel speed matches the correct impact spacing.
- The automatic vibratory on/off feature activates or deactivates the vibratory system according to the propel lever position to help prevent over compaction when changing direction or when coming to a stop. The system is adjustable through the "Job Aids" menu in the display.
Better Fuel Economy- The C3.6 engine delivers 74.4 kW (100 hp) of power and meets U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final and EU Stage V emission standards.
- The Cat® C3.6 engine and standard Eco-mode combine to provide good fuel economy.
- ECO-mode modifies engine speed based on load requirements; high amplitude vibration utilizes higher engine speeds, while static rolling conserves fuel and operates at low engine speed with lower sound levels.
Ensure Mat Coverage with Compaction Control- Pass-count and Temperature Mapping combines infrared temperature sensors with GPS mapping to keep the operator informed of current asphalt temperatures, machine position, pass-count, and layer coverage. The mapping display provides an enhanced on-screen visual for easy recognition and touchscreen capability for simplified setup.
- Compaction Meter Value (CMV) utilizes a drum mounted accelerometer to measure the combined stiffness of the asphalt layer, base layer, and sub-base layer to indicate road structure quality beneath the surface.
