Introducing the CS-423E. Designed to meet your smooth drum compaction needs.
Engineered for optimum results, the CS-423E features a Caterpillar 3054B engine rated at
60 kW (80 hp). The CS-423E is sized to minimize operating costs and meet the needs of the
majority of applications from site preparation to compacting sub-bases for parking lots or
roadways. An optional padfoot shell kit increases versatility and a list of several other
attachments provides you with exceptional performance in a wider range of applications.
Dual Propel Pumps
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.

CS-423E, CS-433E and CP-433E specifications

Two variable displacement piston

pumps supply pressurized flow to two
dual displacement piston motors. One
pump and motor drives the drum propel
system while the other pump and motor
drives the rear wheels.
The two-pump system ensures equal
flow to the drive motors regardless of
the operating conditions. In case the
drum or wheels lose traction, the other
motor can still build additional pressure
to provide added torque.
The drive motors have two swashplate
positions allowing operation at either
maximum torque for compaction and
gradeability or maximum speed for
moving around the job site. A rocker
switch at the operators console triggers
an electric over hydraulic control to
change speed ranges.
Speed changes can be made without
stopping. A single propel lever located
on the control console provides smooth
hydrostatic control of the machines
infinitely variable speeds in both
forward and reverse.

the CS-423E and CS-433E shell kit
option get density deeper in the lift.
High working speed increases
productivity.

Serviceability

The one-piece fiberglass hood tilts

forward for easy access to daily
maintenance points.
Parts commonality makes servicing
easier.
3 year/3000 hour vibratory bearing
lube service interval keeps
maintenance to a minimum and
maximizes production.
Daily check points are accessible from
ground level.
The operators platform tilts forward
for better hydraulic component access.
The articulation hitch area features
sealed-for-life bearings that never
need maintenance.
Versatility
Standard dual amplitude expands the
compactors application range.
The large spread between high and low
centrifugal force makes it easier to tailor
the compactive effort to density
specifications.
The high traction propel system means
the machine can go more places and push
more material with the optional blade.
The optional padfoot shell kit makes the
CS-423E and CS-433E an extremely
adaptable machine to either cohesive or
semi-cohesive material.

CS-423E, CS-433E and CP-433E specifications

Reliability
The patented eccentric weight system
is completely sealed.
The absence of swinging counterweights eliminates the chance for
metal chips to contaminate the
vibratory lubrication system or for
heavy weights to wedge together.
The O-ring face seal hydraulic
connections help maintain system
integrity.
The hydraulic hoses are carefully
routed and secured by polyurethane
mounting blocks to prevent rubbing.
The Cat electrical system includes two
Caterpillar batteries and color-coded
and numbered wires protected by
vinyl-coated nylon braid wrap.

Optional Equipment
Note: Some options listed may be an option in some areas and standard in others. Consult your dealer for specifics.
Roll Over Protective Structure/Falling
Object Protective Structure (ROPS/FOPS)
canopy is a two-post structure that bolts
directly onto flanges welded to the
operator platform. Includes two frontfacing and two rear-facing working
lights, handrails and a rear view mirror.
The structure meets SAE J1040 May94,
SAE J231 Jan81, ISO 3449-1992 and ISO
3471-1994.
ROPS/FOPS Cab includes a cloth
suspension seat, one access door, tinted
safety glass windows, electric wipers
front and rear, heater/defroster, two
vertically sliding side windows for
ventilation, two exterior rear view
mirrors, two front-facing and two rearfacing working lights, interior dome
light, coat hook and cab lift cylinder.
Cab can be ordered with or without air
conditioning. Cab is fully EROPS rated and
meets SAE J1040 May94, SAE J231 Jan81,
ISO 3449-1992 and ISO 3471-1994.
Rotating Suspension Seat has five
positions to provide improved operator
comfort when operating in the reverse
direction. Available in vinyl covering for
the operators platform and cloth
covering for machines equipped with a
ROPS/FOPS cab.
Sun Visor for the front windshield can
be installed on machines equipped with
a ROPS/FOPS cab.

Roll-Down Sun Screen for the rear

window can be installed on machines
equipped with a ROPS/FOPS cab.
Operator Platform Lift Cylinder is
available and provides a hydraulic
cylinder to raise and lower the
operators platform.
(Standard with ROPS/FOPS cab.)
Variable Frequency is an electronic
displacement control on the vibratory
pump that is operated by a dial on the
operators station. Engine rpm remains
constant. Frequency range from 23.3 31.9 Hz (1400 - 1915 vpm) makes it
easier to match frequency, amplitude
and working speed to job conditions.
Includes the vibratory gauge.
Vibratory Gauge is mounted on the
console in front of the operator and
displays the actual vibratory system
frequency. (Standard with the variable
frequency option.)
Rotating Beacon includes an amber
beacon and mount that can be attached
to machines with ROPS/FOPS canopy
or ROPS/FOPS cab.
Brake Release Pump is available and
allows the manual release of the
secondary brake system for towing the
machine.

Leveling Blade for the CS-433E and

CP-433E is designed to bolt onto the
drum yoke. Complete unit includes
heavy-duty blade, push arms,
reversible/replaceable cutting edges,
replaceable wear plates, a heavy-duty
hydraulic lift cylinder and control valve.
Moldboard is constructed of heavy-duty
steel. Blade measures 2.10 m (6' 11")
wide and 559 mm (22") high. Maximum
depth of cut is 76 mm (3").
Two-Piece Padfoot Shell Kit bolts onto
the smooth drum CS-423E or CS-433E.
Features 90 mm (3.5") high pads. Each
shell half weights 453 kg (1000 lb) and
includes a special bumper for a quick
conversion.
Padfoot Drum Scraper System for the
CP-433E mounted on the rear of the
drum prevents build up of material
between the pads. The scraper teeth are
bolt-on, individually adjustable and field
replaceable.
Polyurethane Drum Scrapers for the
CS-423E and CS-433E provide a front
and rear scraper for continuous contact
with the drum surface and replaces the
standard steel front scraper.
Spare Tire w/Rim is available for both
the flotation tread and the traction tread.
