03.03.2010 Caterpillar CD54 Vibratory Asphalt Compactor

Caterpillar has announced an addition to its asphalt compactor line. This CD54 vibratory asphalt compactor is intended for production-oriented customers, winning over operators with its versatile vibratory system, wide offset capability, performance in turns, and comfortable operating environment. The CD54 has a standard operating weight of 9500 kg and maximum operating weight of 10 900 kg. The standard compaction width is 1700 mm and when combined with the 1.3 m offset feature provides a total compaction width of 3.0 m for excellent job site versatility.

The CD54 has four steering modes, making maneuverability an exceptional quality. The four steering modes include front drum, rear drum, coordinated, and crab operation. When fully offset, coordinated steering enables a 2.8 m inside turning radius for good mobility near obstacles. The four-cylinder Cat 3054C Turbo-charged engine provides 74.5 kW at 2200 rpm and meets U.S. EPA Tier 2 emission requirements. The ROPS/FOPS cab with full floor-to-ceiling glass on the front and rear corners provide an unobstructed line of sight to the drum edges, drum surfaces, and both sides of the machine.
