Vibratory System
Pod-style eccentric weights with more amplitude selections ensure peak compaction performance and minimal service. High dynamic force helps achieve density in the fewest number of passes. The optional dual amplitude system provides excellent versatility for the contractor with a flip of the switch from the operator's console. |
 |
Five Amplitude Selections
The five amplitudes with a single frequency of 53 Hz (3,200 vpm) provide efficient operation on thick or thin lift applications. |
|
Weight Locking System
A positive weight locking system ensures position of variable amplitude settings. |
|
Automatic Matching of Eccentric Weight and Drum Rotation Direction
Automatic matching of eccentric weight and drum rotation direction improves mat quality. |
|
Automatic Vibration Start-up and Shut-off
The vibratory system automatically starts when the propel lever is moved from neutral and stops when positioned in neutral. A manual vibratory control is also provided. |
|
Long Bearing Life
Moving parts are separated from lubricating oil helping to keep oil clean and ensuring long bearing life. The bearing oil has a 3 year/3000 hour service interval. |

The tank contains triple water filtration and infinitely variable spray settings are additional benefits of the system. An optional overnight freeze protection kit is also available for cool weather construction. |
|
Water Tank
A single high-capacity polyethylene water tank is enclosed within the machine frame. The tank design provides extended operation, a single fill point and a single drain port. |
|
Back-up System
There is a complete back-up system controlled from the operator's station. |
|
Spray System
The CB-434D has constant or intermittent spray capabilities for longer operation between fill-ups. The intermittent spray is infinitely variable allowing fine-tuning for any condition. A quick-release spray bar cover protects spray from wind. An on/off spray control is provided on the propel lever to simplify operation. |
|
Water Filtration
Triple water filtration reduces machine downtime caused by system clogs. |
|
Two Pump System
The system has two pumps but only one pump operates at a time, doubling pump life in terms of machine hours. An auto pump control setting selects water from one pump while traveling forward and water from the other pump while traveling rearward. The system maintains even pump usage for uniform life. Manual override control is provided. The water pumps and in-line filters are conveniently grouped and located in the hitch area for easy service. The long-life water pumps are self priming and pressure regulating to provide optimum spray and flow. |
|
On/Off Spray Control
The spray control is located on the propel lever providing simple operation. |
|
Quick-Release Spray Bars Covers
Quick-release spray bar covers shield the spray bars and nozzles from wind and sun, allowing the spray nozzles to provide consistent coverage across the drum surface. |
|
Freeze Protection Kit (Optional)
The freeze protection kit includes an in-line antifreeze bottle that allows the operator to pump antifreeze into the system. |
|
Visibility
The one-piece hood design and vertical folded drum supports provide excellent operator visibility to important areas of the machine including drum edges, drum surfaces, and overall visibility around the machine. Angled supports provide high clearance and visibility for work against barriers and walls. |
|
Visibility to Objects
Visibility to objects 1 m (3.3') high and 1 m (3.3') in front of the machine or behind the machine. The CB-434D design also provides excellent visibility to the drum surfaces and the drum edges. |
|
Bumper Design
A raised bumper design allows maximum visibility and movement in forward and reverse. |
|
Sloped Hood
The sloped hood of the CB-434D provides excellent visibility to the rear and sides of the machine. |
|
Vertical Folded Drum Supports
Vertical folded drum supports provide clear view of drum edge and pavement well ahead of the drum. Angled supports have high clearance for work against barriers and walls. |
|
Control Console Platform
The control console platform has nine rotating positions and seven sliding positions that provide excellent visibility to the drum surfaces and the drum edges. |
|
Operator's Station
The CB-434D asphalt compactor features excellent operator comfort and visibility. A tilting steering column, propel lever arm rest, and conveniently located and grouped control switches and gauges increase operator productivity and reduce fatigue. Heavy-duty isolation mounts provide a smooth ride. Machines with the ROPS/FOPS platform incorporate quick release handrails that can be individually adjusted to accommodate multiple operator positions. For FOPS protection to be effective, the operator must be seated under the canopy. |
|
Steering Console and Instrumentation Gauges
The steering console and instrumentation gauges are infinitely adjustable within the tilt range to the desired position of the operator. The entire console tilts for simple entrance and exit. A lockable vandal cover is provided for the console. |
|
Propel Handle
The multifunction ergonomic propel handle simplifies operation with the following controls: propel speed, vibe on/off, water spray on/off, horn and drum offset (optional). |
|
Control Console Platform

|
Isolated Operator's Station
The operator's station is isolated with four heavy-duty rubber mounts which reduce machine vibration to the operator. |
|
Floor Mat
A rubber floor mat provides good footing and helps further isolate the operator from the machine vibration and noise. |
|
Automatic Speed Control
A speed control dial located on the operator’s console simplifies operation by allowing the operator to preset the machine speed or impact spacing. The speed control dial allows the operator to push the propel lever to the forward or reverse positions while repeating the desired speed or impact
spacing.
|
|
50/50 Articulation
The CB-434D features 50/50 articulation for evenly balanced weight from front to rear. This configuration simplifies operation because both drums track in the same path even while turning. An optional offset hitch further improves control and machine maneuverability. |
|
Centered Articulation
Centered articulation with 50% of the machine length behind the pivot and 50% forward delivers evenly balanced weight front to rear. Drums track in the same path even in turns. |
|
Forward and Reverse
The operator can concentrate on only one drum when entering or leaving a curve resulting in the identical response for forward and reverse along any curve. This helps prevent damage to existing structures when moving away from curbs and other objects. |
|
Serviceability
The newly designed one-piece fiberglass hood opens upward and rearward to allow access to the engine and daily maintenance points. The daily check points are accessible from ground level. Ground level service is also provided on the water spray system with pumps, filters, and drain valves grouped together and centrally located. The rear-mounted cooling system with fresh air intake reduces the need for cleaning. The engine oil change interval is 500 hours. Vibratory bearing lube service interval of 3 years/3000 hours keeps maintenance to a minimum and maximizes production. The articulation hitch area features sealed-for-life bearings that reduce the need for maintenance. |
