Vibratory System The pod-style vibratory system delivers superior compactive force while offering serviceability advantages. The pod-style weight housings are assembled and sealed at the factory to ensure cleanliness, longer bearing life and easier field exchange or service. Dual amplitude works efficiently in a wider range of applications. Large heavy-duty bearings for the eccentric weight shaft are designed for high compactive forces. Heavy-duty isolation mounts allow more force to be transmitted to the ground and less vibration to the drum yoke.

Pod-style Weight Housings The pod-style weight housings are assembled and sealed at the factory to ensure cleanliness, longer bearing life and easier field exchange or service.

Dual Amplitude Dual amplitude works efficiently in a wider range of applications. High or low amplitude is selected from the operator's station.

Heavy-duty Bearings Large heavy-duty bearings for the eccentric weight shaft are designed for high compactive forces.

Vibratory Bearing Lube Service 3 year/3000 hour vibratory bearing lube service interval reduces maintenance.

Isolation Mounts Heavy-duty isolation mounts allow more force to be transmitted to the ground and less vibration to the drum yoke.

Proprietary Eccentric Weights The proprietary eccentric weights on the CP-533E provide reliable dual amplitude selection and the innovative design ensures precise performance. The positive amplitude selection is accomplished when the steel shot is repositioned inside the hollow eccentric weight. Direction of the weight shaft rotation determines amplitude level. There is simplified control from the operator's station with a selection switch on the operator's console. The weights are highly reliable since there is no chance of the high-strength spherical steel shot wedging together.

High Reliability The weights are highly reliable since there is no chance of the high-strength spherical steel shot wedging together. System reliability is superior to swinging mechanical weights and is also quieter during starts and stops.

Long Service Life The proprietary eccentric weights have a longer service life because there are no heavy weights to slam together and no metal fragments to contaminate the bearing lubrication system.

Caterpillar 3054C Turbocharged Diesel Engine The Caterpillar 3054C is a high-tech four cylinder engine that provides outstanding durability, performance, reliability and operating economy. The turbocharged air-to-air aftercooling provides improved fuel economy by packing cooler, denser air into cylinders for more complete combustion of the fuel and lower emissions. The direct-injection of fuel provides maximum efficiency. The cross-flow cylinder head improves air flow into the cylinder which increases power while lowering fuel consumption, engine emissions and noise. A low-mounted oil pump allows for quick start-up-lubrication. A large oil cooler reduces oil deterioration and varnishing of internal components. The engine meets U.S. EPA Tier 2 and European EU Stage II emissions control standards worldwide.

Dual Pump Propel System The dual pump propel system provides high tractive effort and gradeability for outstanding productivity in tough applications. The dual propel pumps provide separate, balanced hydraulic flow to the rear wheel axle and the drum drive motors. Ample power is provided for compacting on moderate slopes and increases tractive effort in loose or poor underfoot conditions. Limited slip differential provides balanced tractive effort and smooth torque transfer to both rear wheels. There are two speed ranges for versatile operation. Low speed range for vibratory operation and maximum torque when climbing grades. High speed range moves the machine quickly over longer distances.

Flushing Valves The flushing valves in each propel circuit help keep hydraulic oil cool and clean for maximum system efficiency.

Gradeability and Machine Control The exclusive dual pump propel system provides superior performance, machine control and good grade climbing capability. The two propel pump system has dedicated pumps to drive the heavy-duty, high-torque rear wheel and the drum motors independently. Should the drum or wheels begin to spin, the non-spinning motor still receives hydraulic flow, allowing continuous tractive effort especially useful in loose underfoot conditions. Controllability is another feature of the dual propel pumps. The operator is able to stop, maintain machine position and change directions while on grade.

Gradeability The good gradeability of the CP-533E allows high productivity. It is designed for typical applications working on level to moderate grades.

Sloped Hood Design The sloped fiberglass hood design provides good service access and exceptional operator visibility. Visibility to the tire edges and rear of the machine is exceptional. The sloped hood allows the operator to see obstacles measuring 1 meter (3'3") high located 1 meter (3'3") to the rear of the machine. The lockable engine hood opens quickly and easily with the use of gas struts to provide good access to the engine, cooling system and all service points. Low sound levels for the operator and the ground crew is due to the engine hood and cooling air flow through the rear mounted radiator.

Open Platform with ROPS/FOPS Canopy The platform on the CP-533E is equipped with a ROPS/FOPS canopy and is enclosed by handrails and features angled foot rests for sure footing and support when working on a grade. The platform has a spacious and comfortable working environment with all controls, levers, switches and gauges positioned to maximize productivity. There is unrestricted visibility to the drum and tire edge and to the side and rear of the machine.
