Caterpillar CB13 Tandem Vibratory Roller
THE RUNDOWN
Simple to Operate, Easy to Learn
- Innovative hand-wheel steering technology delivers precise control and good forward visibility
- Easily activate the vibratory system, water spray system, and drum offset with the multi-function propel handle
- Machine functions with LED indicators have been independently grouped for simplified control and quick activation
- Dual side access on ROPS/Canopy machines provide operators with flexibility to mount and dismount the machine (U.S. and Canada only)
Better Fuel Economy
- Get up to 10% better fuel economy with the Cat C4.4 engine and standard Eco-mode
- The C4.4 engine provides 106 kW (142 hp) of power and meets regional emissions requirements
- Unique Eco-mode design modifies engine speed based on load requirements; high amplitude vibration utilizes higher engine speed, while static rolling conserves fuel and operates at low engine speed with even lower sound levels
Easy Vibratory System Set-up
- Five amplitude system utilizes a single frequency with five distinct amplitudes that provide excellent performance on thick lifts and rigid mix designs
- Versa Vibe™ vibratory system creates a 2-in-1 machine with four amplitudes and two frequencies; two settings for lighter hitting and higher working speeds on thin lifts; and two settings for heavier hitting and slower speeds on thick lifts and challenging mix designs
- 2-amplitude/2-frequency vibratory system automatically optimizes amplitude and frequency with a single switch for simple thin/thick lift operation
Compaction Options Include Oscillation
- Oscillatory vibration on the rear drum combined with standard vertical vibration front drum delivers both performance and versatility
- Oscillation system utilizes proven pod-style eccentric weight technology developed by Caterpillar
- 2 year/2000 hour service interval helps maximize uptime and limit maintenance costs.
- Durable power-transmission belt delivers 2-times the load capacity of timing belt systems leading to extended life
- Standard drum shells offer exceptional long-term life on a variety of mix designs and delivers outstanding mat texture, density, and smoothness.
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
- 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
- Machine to Machine communication helps keep rolling patterns in sync by sharing mapped data such as CMV, temperature mapping, and pass count coverage between multiple machines
Prevent Build-Up, Keep the Drum Surfaces Wet
- High capacity water tank provides long duration between fills
- Dual water pumps provide back-up capability and alternate with direction of travel to maximize service life
- Triple filtration prevents clogs with filters located at the fill point, water pumps, and spray nozzles
- Integrated freeze protection kit (optional) provides protection in cold temperatures when machine is not in use
Boost Performance with Enhanced Visibility
- Optimize sight lines with 360 seating option; always face the direction of travel
- LED Lighting delivers excellent job site illumination while conserving energy
- Night-lighting option provides additional illumination to the ROPS/Cab, drum edges, and drum surfaces
Product Link™
- Make timely, fact-based decisions to maximize efficiency, improve productivity, and lower owning and operating costs
- Easily track location, machine hours, fuel usage, and idle time
- Diagnostic codes are made available through online web applications
- Remote flash works around your schedule to ensure your machine’s software is up to date for optimal performance
