CS7

Designed for Compaction Performance

    
• High static linear loads and amplitudes.
    
• The exclusive eccentric weight vibratory system with its 3-year, 3000-hour maintenance interval is designed for high reliability, smooth performance and low noise levels.
    
• Auto-vibe helps operators easily maintain consistent, high-quality compaction.
    
• The Variable Frequency option provides a wide range of frequencies to help maximize compaction performance.
    
• Expand machine versatility with the addition of an oval or square padfoot shell kit, allowing your smooth drum roller to compact semi-cohesive and cohesive materials.
    
• An optional MicroVibe™ drum configuration provides a lower range of amplitude than the standard drum for vibration-sensitive applications.
    
• Compaction Meter Value (CMV) is an optional, accelerometer-based measurement for granular soils, measuring only when the vibratory system is active. Cat Compaction technologies help operators determine when target values are met, reducing unnecessary passes and rework.

Safety Features

    
• Safety and visibility are enhanced with a standard rear vision camera viewed on a large color touchscreen display. 
    
• An unobstructed view of the drum from the driver’s seat allows the operator to see the compaction area ahead of them, monitor overlap and observe scraper performance.
    
• The Cat^® Detect Seat Belt Reminder System helps improve operator safety by monitoring seat belt use and alerting when improper behavior is detected. This technology promotes consistent seat belt habits, helping protect operators and support a safer work environment. A VisionLink™ subscription and compatible Product Link™ hardware are required.

    
1. Seat Belt Alert – If an operator attempts to operate the machine without fastening their seat belt, such as disengaging the parking brake or initiating machine movement, audible and visual alerts activate to prompt proper seat belt use.
    
2. Seat Belt Inhibit – Seat Belt Inhibit can prevent the machine from traveling if the seat belt is not fastened correctly, helping to intervene before unsafe operation occurs.

    
• Large steps, handrails, and an antiskid surface help provide stability during entry and exit of the operator station.
    
• Internal and external mirrors provide the operator with a broad view of the jobsite.

Sustainabillity

    
• The Cat® C3.6 is available in configurations that meet U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final and EU Stage V emission standards.
    
• Cat diesel engines are required to use ULSD (ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel with 15 ppm of sulfur or less) and are compatible* with ULSD blended with the following lower-carbon intensity fuels** up to: 20% biodiesel FAME (fatty acid methyl ester) or 100% renewable diesel, HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil) and GTL (gas-to-liquid) fuels. Refer to guidelines for successful application. Please consult your Cat dealer or “Caterpillar Machine Fluids Recommendations” (SEBU6250) for details.

    
• Auto engine idle shutdown helps reduce unnecessary fuel burn and greenhouse gas emissions by allowing the engine to automatically go into idle mode when the machine is not working.
    
• A well-trained operator is worth the investment. Skilled operators benefit your bottom line by maximizing productivity, avoiding costly downtime, and maintaining jobsite safety - which can help to improve fuel efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
    
• Extended maintenance intervals not only reduce downtime but can decrease the amount of fluid and filters that are replaced over the life of the machine. Extend change intervals up to 500 hours engine oil, 3000 hours eccentric housing and hydraulic oil, and 12000 hours coolant.
    
• Performance and safety can be augmented with a standard camera that is viewed on an in-cab display.
    
• Cat Compaction technologies help you consistently meet compaction targets faster, more uniformly, and in fewer passes - saving on fuel and reducing rework and material costs.
    
• Cat Scheduled Oil Sampling (S•O•S^SM) Services helps reveal excessive wear, contaminated fluids or other “unseen” issues that can shorten component life. In many cases, you can extend oil and coolant change intervals by using fluid monitoring. Consult your Cat dealer or the machine’s operation and maintenance manual for more information.
