Standard Vibratory System
Pod-style eccentric weights with more amplitude selections provide peak compaction performance and minimal service. The high dynamic force helps achieve density in the fewest number of passes.
Five Amplitude Selections
The five amplitude selections provide efficient operation on thick or thin lift applications.
Automatic Corresponding Rotation
Eccentric weight rotation automatically matches drum rotation providing good mat quality.
Automatic Vibration Control
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.
3 Year/3000 Hour Service Interval
Moving parts are separated from lubricating oil keeping oil clean to ensure long bearing life. Bearing oil has a 3 year/3000 hour service interval.
Versa Vibe™ Vibratory System (Optional)
The Versa Vibe™ vibratory system provides both high amplitude or high frequency in one machine for working on tough superpave mixes or on tender marshall mixes.

The dual amplitude/dual frequency vibratory system provides the capability of working in high frequency on thin lift applications.
Four Amplitudes and Two Frequencies
Versa Vibe offers four amplitude selections and two frequencies of 42 Hz (2,520 vpm) and 63.3 Hz (3,800 vpm) for customers who value both high amplitude and high frequency in one machine.
Vibratory Control Switch
The vibratory control switch on the console allows the operator to change vibe settings on-the-run from aggressive high amplitude to fast high frequency.
Counter-Rotating Weights
The eccentric weights in the front and rear drums counter-rotate from each other, one eccentric weight is always rotating in the direction of travel.
Automatic Vibration Control
The vibratory system automatically starts when the propel lever is moved from neutral and stops when positioned in neutral.
Caterpillar 3054C Diesel Engine
Cat 3054C turbocharged diesel engine delivers 97 kW (130 hp) and is built for performance and reliability without sacrificing fuel economy. The cooling system delivers fresh air from above the engine for clean and efficient operation.
Cat® 3054C Engine
The 3054C engine produces 97 kW (130 hp) of power at 2,200 rpm providing fuel efficiency.
Turbocharged for Top Performance
The turbocharged engine provides efficient operation especially at high altitudes, up to 2500 meters (8,200 feet) without derating.
Balanced Power
The Pressure Override (POR) valve balances power demand in order to provide responsiveness.
Operator’s Station
The operator’s station features comfort and visibility. A tilting steering column, propel lever wrist rest, and conveniently located and grouped control switches and gauges enhance operator productivity and reduce fatigue. Heavy-duty isolation mounts provide a smooth ride. Machines with the ROPS/FOPS platform include quick release handrails that can be individually adjusted to accommodate multiple operating positions. For FOPS protection to be effective, the operator must be seated under the canopy.
Comfortable Operating Environment
The console and instrumentation move with the operator, staying in the same relative position to the operator.
Multi-Position Operator’s Station
The operating station has nine rotating and seven sliding positions, maximizing comfort.
Multi-Function Propel Handle
The multifunction propel handle simplifies operation with the following controls: propel speed, vibe on/off, water spray on/off, horn and optional drum offset.
Steering Console
The entire console tilts for simple entrance and exit. A lockable vandal cover is provided for the console.
Comfortable and Durable Seat
The seat has adjustable fore/aft position, suspension stiffness, and flip-up arm rests with a 76 mm (3") wide retractable seat belt.
Isolated Operator’s Station
The operator’s station with four, heavy-duty rubber mounts reduce machine vibration to the operator.
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.
Water Spray System
Caterpillar’s exclusive dual-pump water spray system provides the operator with an efficient, easy access drum watering system. A large polyethylene tank, triple water filtration and infinitely variable spray settings are some of the benefits integrated into the system. An optional overnight freeze protection kit is also available for cold weather construction.
High-Capacity Water Tank
The single, high capacity, polyethylene water tank is enclosed within the machine frame providing extended operation.
Two Pump System
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.
Triple Water Filtration
Water filtration reduces machine downtime caused by system clogs. A mesh strainer is located in the water fill port. The water pump and spray nozzles, include screen filters that provide simple access and cleaning.
Nozzle Orientation
The upward spray nozzle orientation allows water to drain back into the supply line, limiting particle accumulation in the nozzle filter.
Constant or Intermittent Spray Capability
The water spray system provides constant or intermittent spray settings. The intermittent spray setting provides longer operation between fill-ups. The intermittent spray is infinitely variable allowing fine-tuning for any condition.
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 multi-position operator’s station provides good visibility to the drum edges, drum surfaces, water spray nozzles and overall visibility around the machine. Vertically folded drum supports provide the operator with good sight lines to the drum edges when working near obstructions.
Multi-Position Seating
The multi-position operator’s station provides good visibility to the drum edges, drum surfaces, water spray nozzles and overall visibility around the machine.
Folded Drum Supports
Vertically folded drum supports provide the operator with good sight lines to the drum edges when working near obstructions.
Backlit Spray Nozzles
The water spray nozzles include LED lights for easy on/off determination in various lighting conditions.
Reliability and Serviceability
The one-piece fiberglass hood opens upward and rearward to allow access to the engine and daily maintenance points. 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 and the vibratory bearing lube service interval of 3 year/3000 hour keeps maintenance to a minimum and maximizes production. The articulation hitch area features sealed-for-life bearings that never need maintenance.
Vertical-Lift Hood Arrangement
The vertical-lift hood allows routine service when parked close to other machines and structures, providing easy ground level access to routine maintenance points.
Easy Access and Removal
The filters and spray nozzles are easily removed by hand without the need for special tools.
Sealed Hitch Design
The sealed hitch design simplifies overall machine maintenance.
Product Link Ready
The Product Link System ensures maximum uptime and minimum repair costs by simplifying tracking of equipment fleets. The system provides automatic machine location and hour updates.
