Equipment Highlights

Efficient Power
        
  • The dual pump propel system with built-in traction control is designed to provide dedicated flow to the drum drive motor and to the rear axle motors for excellent traction and gradeability in forward and reverse.
    •     
  • Powered by a Cat® C3.6 engine that meets U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final and EU Stage V emission standards.
    •     
  • Eco-mode limits engine RPM helping to reduce fuel consumption.
    •     
  • Engine Idle Shutdown Timer reduces fuel burn and unnecessary idle time by shutting down the machine after a pre-set idling period.
    •     
  • Boost versatility with an optional leveling blade for backfilling, knockdown and light dozing.
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.
Comfortable Work Environment
        
  • The ISO-mounted operator station and rubber floormats help reduce noise and vibration for comfort during operation.
    •     
  • Operators have a clear view to the working area in front and behind the machine.
    •     
  • The ergonomic operator station includes an adjustable seat with the control console and multifunction LCD display integrated into the right-side arm rest.
    •     
  • Easy-to-use controls are grouped by function and a large display informs operators of machine performance. 
    •     
  • Operators are protected from the elements by a standard equipped ROPS/FOPS canopy or an optional climate-controlled ROPS/FOPS cab with hinged glass windows.
    •     
  • For machines equipped with a cab, an optional radio is available with USB ports and Bluetooth® technology enabled to connect your device and make hands-free calls.
    •     
  • Low sound and vibration levels enhance comfort and productivity.
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.     
  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.
Low Operating Cost
        
  • The articulated hitch with sealed-for-life bearings does not require routine maintenance.
    •     
  • Safely access the engine compartment and cooling module from ground level for easy service and fluid sampling.
    •     
  • Monitor fluid conditions with regular sampling to help extend change intervals up to 500 hours engine oil, 3000 hours eccentric housing and hydraulic oil, and 12000 hours coolant.
    •     
  • Extended maintenance intervals not only reduce downtime but decrease the amount of fluid and filters that are replaced over the life of the machine.
    •     
  • VisionLink takes the guesswork out of managing your entire fleet–regardless of size or equipment manufacturer*–by providing maintenance needs, machine hours, location, fuel usage, idle time, diagnostic codes, and more 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).

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.
*While Caterpillar engines are compatible with these alternative fuels, some regions may not allow their use.
**Tailpipe greenhouse gas emissions from lower-carbon intensity fuels are essentially the same as traditional fuels.
        
  • 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•SSM) 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.
