Caterpillar® 3013 Engine
Reliable and durable diesel engines for years of low maintenance operation.

Precise balance and optimum

running speed for smooth operation
and extended engine life.
Engine is liquid-cooled keeping
temperature low and helping reduce
component wear.
Timing drive use three helically
cut gears that help reduce noise levels.
Heat-treated chrome molybdenum steel
crankshaft provides durable service life.

Vibratory System
Precise system delivers optimum compactive force.

Pod-style weight housings are

assembled and sealed at the factory to
ensure cleanliness, extended bearing life
and easy field exchange/service.
Change interval for bearing lubrication
1 is every three years or 3,000 hours.
Balance between frequency and
amplitude provides a good mat finish

Operator Comfort
Operating ease and comfort promote all-day productivity.

Single-lever control provides simplified

operation, making the machines a
perfect fit for inexperienced operators.
Easy-to-understand instrument panel
allows the operator to quickly verify
the status of machine systems.
Lockable cover protects instrumentation
and gauges.
Low sound levels make them
comfortable for both operators
and spectators.
Operator’s station is isolated with four
rubber mounts that help eliminate
vibration before it reaches the operator,
controls and instrumentation.

Operator’s Station
The machines for EC territories are equipped with a suspended seat with switch that prevents movement of the machine if the
operator is not seated.

Stationary seat is standard.

The sliding seat is optional.
Seat slides from side to side
and locks into three positions –
right, center and left.
When positioned on the left or right
side, operator has unobstructed
visibility to drum edge or wheel
contact points.
Roomy operator’s station provides
plenty of leg room for all-day operation.
Adjustable bucket seat provides lasting
comfort.
Optional suspension seat with armrests
enhances ride.
Note: machine is shown with a suspension seat
that is optional.

Excellent Forward and Rearward Visibility
Low-profile design provides convenient control of machines.

Excellent forward visibility allows the

operator to see objects 0.58 m high and
1 m in front of the machine.
Rearward visibility is even better.
Operator can see objects that are 0.35 m
behind the machine and flush to the
surface.
Low-profile engine enclosure
provides unobstructed sight lines
to ground personnel working near
machine.

Water Spray System

Corrosion-proof system and extended-life components provide reliable operation.

Constant or intermittent spray

capabilities provide extended operation
between refills.
Triple water filtration reduces machine
downtime caused by system clogs.
Extended-life water pump provides
optimum spray and flow.
Water pump and filters are
conveniently located for easy access.
Large water tank drain allows system
to be drained in less than five minutes.

5
Drum Design Keeps Production High
Machined drum surfaces help ensure a smooth mat.

Specially designed drum edges help

eliminate marks on deep lifts or when
turning.
Drums are constructed of rolled steel
plate and are finished to reduce surface
irregularities.
Replaceable rubber mounts isolate
vibration and enhance vibratory
capabilities.
Each drum is fitted with two retractable,
spring-loaded, self-adjusting scrapers,
positioned at the front and rear of each
drum.
Ends of each drum are fitted with steel
plates that help prevent rocks, soil,
asphalt or other material from entering
the ends of the drums.

Tires Enhance Versatility – CB-225D

Tires manipulate the mat under and between its wheels.

Steel front drum and rubber tires

at the rear allow a single machine
to function as both a double drum and
pneumatic compactor.
Four rubber tires generate a high ground
contact pressure that penetrates deep
into the lift.
Because the tires are flexible,
horizontal pressures develop, assisting
with compaction.
Each tire is fitted with a replaceable,
adjustable scraper. The scrapers can be
positioned above the tires when the they
are not needed.
