Vibratory System
A pod-style weight housing ensures peak vibratory performance and minimal service. The pod is replaceable and features bearing lubrication change intervals of 3 years/3000 hours.
Pod-Style Weight Housing
The pod-style weight housing is assembled and sealed at the factory to ensure cleanliness, longer bearing life and easier field exchange or service.
Dual Amplitude
The dual amplitude works efficiently in a wider range of applications. Selection is controlled from the operator's station.
Vibratory Frequency
The CP-433E has a vibratory frequence of 31.9 Hz (1914 vpm) for maximum compaction results. An optional variable frequency control allows frequency to be better matched to varying job conditions.
Large Heavy-duty Bearings
Large heavy-duty bearings for the eccentric weight shaft allow higher frequency for greater force.
3 year/3000 hour
The 3 year/3000 hour vibratory bearing lube service interval reduces maintenance.
Isolation Mounts
The heavy-duty isolation mounts on the CP-432E allow more force to be transmitted to the ground and less vibration to the drum yoke.
Proprietary Eccentric Weights
Reliable dual amplitude selection and innovative design of the proprietary eccentric weights ensures precise performance. Positive amplitude selection is accomplished when the steel shot is repositioned inside the hollow eccentric weight. Control is simplified from the operator's station with a selection switch on the operator's console. The weights are highly reliable since there is no change of the high-strength spherical steel shot wedging together.
Positive Amplitude Selection
Positive amplitude selection is accomplished when the spherical steel shot is repositioned inside the hollow eccentric weight. Direction of weight shaft rotation determines amplitude level.
Simplified Control
Control is simplified from the operator’s station with a selection switch on the operator’s console.
Reliability
The proprietary eccentric weights offer high reliability since there is no change of the high-strength spherical steel shot welding together. System reliability is superior to swinging mechanical weights and is also quieter during starts and stops.
Service Life
The proprietary eccentric weights offer long service life. There are no heavy weights to slam together and no metal fragments to contaminate the bearing lubrication system.

Fuel Filter and Water Separator
The combination fuel filter and water separator offers superior protection for the fuel injection system.
Engine Meets Emissions Standards
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 offers high tractive effort and gradeability for outstanding productivity and machine control in demanding environments. The dual pump propel system provides a separate, balanced hydraulic flow to both the rear drive axle and the front drum drive motor. This system enables the operator to achieve unmatched gradeability and maintain machine control while compacting on a grade or using the optional leveling blade.
Dual Propel Pumps
The dual propel pumps provide separate, balanced flow to the rear wheel axle and the drum drive motors. Provides high gradeability and increases tractive effort in loose or poor underfoot conditions.
Limited Slip Differential
The limited slip differential provides balanced tractive effort and smooth torque transfer to both rear wheels.
Two Speed Ranges
The dual pump propel system offers 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
Flushing valves in each propel circuit help keep hydraulic oil cool and clean for maximum system efficiency.
High travel speed
Up to 11.5 km/h (7.1 mph).
Gradeability and Machine Control
The exclusive dual pump propel system provides a separate balanced hydraulic flow to both the rear drive axle and the front drum drive motor. This system enables the operator to achieve unmatched gradeability and maintain machine control while compacting on a grade or using the optional leveling blade. Dual pumps also minimize drum and wheel spin-out in low traction conditions.
Two Propel Pump System
The two propel pump system has dedicated pumps to drive the heavy-duty, high-torque rear wheel and drum motors independently. Should the drum or wheels begin to spin, there is always hydraulic flow to the non-spinning motor, allowing continuous tractive effort. This is especially useful in loose underfoot conditions.
Controllability
Controllability is another feature of dual propel pumps. The operator is able to stop, maintain machine position and change directions while on a grade.
Productivity
The CP-433E provides high productivity when working on more demanding grades. These machines are more effective in trench applications.
Sloped Hood Design
The one-piece sloped hood design provides exceptional operator visibility to the outside edge of the rear tires and to the rear of the machine.
Visibility
Visibility to the tire edges and rear of 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. Excellent visibility in all directions increases productivity when working near obstructions or maneuvering around the job site.
Lockable Engine Hood
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.
Sound Levels
Low sound levels for the operator and the ground crew due to the engine hood and cooling air flow through the rear mounted radiator.
Open Platform with ROPS/FOPS Canopy
The platform of the CP-433E is equipped with a ROPS/FOPS canopy and is enclosed by handrails and features foot rests for sure footing and support when working on a grade.
Working Environment
