    •     
  • Auto-warmup feature is designed to prevent vibratory system activation and high engine idle speed until the hydraulic system reaches 10º C (50º F) 
    •     
  • Auto-idle shutdown activates after the factory set default of 30 minutes, shutdown time can be adjusted with Cat Electronic Technician (Cat ET)​
    •     
  • Maximum gradeability occurs when operated with the mid-range engine speed of 1800 rpm selected, while maximum travel speed occurs at the high engine speed of 2200 rpm
    •     
  • Optional traction control is designed to minimize drum slips and enhance gradebility
https://s7d2.scene7.com/is/image/Caterpillar/CM20250528-a8b65-268cb

Compaction Performance

        
  • Two vibratory frequencies of 50 Hz (3000 vpm) and 62 Hz (3720 vpm) correspond with engine speeds of 1800 rpm and 2200 rpm to provide working speed versatility
    •     
  • Front only, rear only, or both drum vibratory capablities help operators conform to a variety of conditions
    •     
  • Automatic vibratory control offers ramp in, ramp out adjustment, configurable through Cat ET 
    •     
  • Optional Compaction Meter Value (CMV) is designd to keep the operator informed of compaction performance and provide quality control measures
    •     
  • Single point lift option and robust hitch design provides transport options as well as expanded application versatility for trench work
    •     
  • Ballast options mounted to the drum supports provide flexibility that increases static linear load for addtional compaction performance

Keep the Drums Clean

        
  • Pressurized water spray system with intermittent settings is designed to help operators match conditions for efficient performance 
    •     
  • Triple filtration helps prevent clogs with filters located at the fill point, water pump, and spray nozzles
    •     
  • The automatic on/off feature deactivates the water spray system when the propel lever moves to neutral and activates the system when the propel lever moves from neutral
    •     
  • Adjustable folding or fixed design drum scraper options are available 
    •     
  • The integrated freeze protection kit (optional) provides protection in cold temperatures when the machine is not in use

Service and Maintenance

        
  • VisionLink® is a cloud-based software application that provides data to desktop or mobile devices, taking the guesswork out of fleet management with key insights to maximize performance – regardless of fleet size or equipment manufacturer​
    •     
  • Cat Electronic Technician (Cat ET) capability provides service and trouble-shooting simplification
    •     
  • Oil change interval of 500 hours is designed to limit downtime and reduce routine maintenance costs
    •     
  • External fuel fill with lockable cap offers easy access, while providing security
    •     
  • LED lighting delivers good job site illumination while conserving energy
    •     
  • Uptime kits and Customer Value Agreements (CVA) are designed to limit downtime 
https://s7d2.scene7.com/is/image/Caterpillar/CM20250528-3d168-18c20

Safety

        
  • An operator presence switch located in the seat is designed to prevent machine operation when not activated
    •     
  • The seat is equipped with a standard 75 mm (3″), high-visibility,  seatbelt that is designed to simplify in-use recognition
    •     
  • Slip resistant steps and platform make it easier for operator ingress/egress
    •     
  • Quick-connect harness supports easy installation and removal of the warning beacon

Sustainability

        
  • The Cat® C1.7T engine meets U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final and EU Stage V emission standards.
    •     
  • Cat diesel engines are required to use ULSD (ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel with 15 ppm of sulfur or less) or ULSD blended with the following lower-carbon intensity fuels up to: 20% biodiesel FAME (fatty acid methyl ester)** or 100% renewable diesel, HVO (hydrogenated vegetable oil) and GTL (gas-to-liquid) fuels. Refer to guidelines for successful application. Please consult your Cat dealer or “Caterpillar Machine Fluids Recommendations” (SEBU6250) for details.
    •     
  • Auto engine idle shutdown helps reduce unnecessary fuel burn and greenhouse gas emissions by allowing the engine to automatically go into idle mode when the machine is not working.
    •     
  • A well-trained operator is worth the investment. Skilled operators benefit your bottom line by maximizing productivity, avoiding costly downtime, and maintaining jobsite safety – which can help to improve fuel efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
    •     
  • Extended maintenance intervals not only reduce downtime but can decrease the amount of fluid and filters that are replaced over the life of the machine. The hydraulic oil can be replaced every 3000 hours, eccentric housing oil can be replaced every 3000 hours, and engine oil changes can be 500 hours.
    •     
  • Cat Compact technologies help you consistently meet compaction targets faster, more uniformly, and in fewer passes – saving on fuel and reducing rework and material costs.
    •     
  • Cat Scheduled Oil Sampling (S•O•S℠) Services helps reveal excessive wear, contaminated fluids or other “unseen” issues that can shorten component life. In many cases, you can extend oil and coolant change intervals by using fluid monitoring. Consult your Cat dealer or the machine’s operation and maintenance manual for more information.
    •     
  • Remote Flash for engines helps to minimize downtime and maintenance time while keeping your asset running with maximum efficiency. Alerts for machine updates are sent virtually from your Cat dealer and updates can be deployed without a dealer technician needing to be onsite.
    •     
  • Remote Troubleshoot decreases maintenance time and keeps your machine running with maximum efficiency by allowing your Cat dealer to virtually test the machine while working. Once a problem is identified, a technician can fix it the first time, saving time and money.
**Engines with no aftertreatment devices can use higher blends, up to 100% biodiesel.
