CP5

CP5 Vibratory Soil Compactor

The 5-ton Cat® CP5 GC sheepsfoot roller features a padfoot drum and is ideally suited for cohesive and semi-cohesive soil applications. The CP5 replaces the CP34.

CP5

DESCRIPTION

The Cat® CP5 sheepsfoot roller is designed for residential and utility applications with cohesive and semi-cohesive soils. Its compact size is ideal for small jobs or working in tight areas like trenches or job sites with limited space.

Compact Size for Specific Applications

        
  • With a narrow machine width of 1.4 m (4.6 ft), the CP5 is sized for working in trench applications or job sites with limited space. 
  •     
  • Ideal machine weight for light compaction of uniform layers over sewer and water pipes.
  •     
  • The propel system allows the operator to stop, maintain machine position and change directions while on a grade.
  •     
  • A narrow turning radius provides good maneuverability in confined work areas.

Comfortable and Ergonomic Operator Station

        
  • A rear vision camera with a large color touchscreen display enhances visibility behind the machine, helping you work safely and confidently.
  •     
  • The operator station has a multi-function LCD display and control console, an adjustable vinyl seat with a flip-up arm rest and a high-visibility retractable seat belt. 
  •     
  • View operational gauges and basic diagnostics on the integrated LCD screen.
  •     
  • The propel lever is conveniently located to the right of the operator’s seat and provides vibratory ON/OFF control for low-effort operation.
  •     
  • Designed for optimal visibility from the operator station.
  •     
  • The operator platform is isolated with heavy-duty rubber mounts to reduce machine vibration transmitted to the operator.
         

Designed for Performance

        
  • Powered by a quiet, fuel-efficient Cat® C2.8 engine that meets U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final emission standards. Caterpillar’s exclusive Intelligent Power Management system monitors operator input and available power to keep the machine working at peak efficiency.
  •     
  • Built around a dual pump propel system, with two pumps providing separate dedicated flow to the drum drive motor and rear axle motor for excellent gradeability and traction in forward and reverse.
  •     
  • The limited-slip differential provides steady power by transferring torque to the tires for enhanced traction on soft, slippery surfaces.
  •     
  • A variable propel speed range up to 8.8 km/h (5.5 mph) helps deliver maximum torque when climbing grades, plus the ability to move quickly around the jobsite.
  •     
  • Boost versatility with an optional blade for backfilling, knockdown and light dozing.

Durable, Field-Proven Vibratory System

        
  • The drum uses a reliable swinging eccentric weight design engineered to deliver high compactive effort and performance you can count on.
  •     
  • A vibratory frequency of 35.8 Hz (2150 vpm) combined with optimal drum weight, enables the operator to achieve density in fewer passes.
  •     
  • The large heavy-duty bearings for the eccentric weight shaft are designed for high compactive forces.
  •     
  • Heavy-duty isolation mounts in the drum allow more force to be transmitted to the ground and less vibration to the drum yoke.
  •     
  • The padfoot drum features unique, tapered, oval-faced pads engineered to penetrate deeper and deliver higher weight concentration to maximize compactive effort.
         

Reliability and Serviceability

        
  • Large doors provide ground-level accessibility to perform service and check engine oil, hydraulic fluid and coolant levels. 
  •     
  • The operator platform tilts forward to conveniently reach the hydraulic pumps. The hydraulic oil cooler tilts rearward for additional access to the radiator. 
  •     
  • A rear-mounted cooling system provides easy access for cleaning.
  •     
  • Monitor fluid conditions with regular sampling to help extend change intervals up to 500 hours engine oil, 1000 hours eccentric weight housing oil, 3000 hours hydraulic oil, and 12000 hours coolant.
  •     
  • Quick-connect hydraulic test ports simplify system diagnostics.
  •     
  • Ecology drains provide an environmental method to drain fluids on the radiator, engine oil pan, hydraulic and fuel tank.
  •     
  • Hoses and electrical harnesses are routed and clamped for increased long-term durability.
  •     
  • Electrical system wiring is color-coded and numbered for easy identification and wrapped in a protective, abrasion-resistant nylon braid for longer life and reliability. 
  •     
  • Maintenance-free Cat batteries are mounted in the rear of the machine and are accessible through the swing-out rear grill. Cat batteries are specifically designed for maximum cranking power and protection against vibration.
  •     
  • VisionLink™ takes the guesswork out of managing your entire fleet–regardless of size or equipment manufacturer.* The CP5 tracks maintenance needs, machine hours and location, through interactive dashboards on your mobile device or desktop, helping you make informed decisions that lower costs, simplify maintenance, and improve safety and security on your jobsite.
* Data field availability can vary by equipment manufacturer and is provided through an application programming interface (API).
