Production-Sized Results in Small PackagesManeuverability, transportability and versatility are combined in easy-to-operate machinesthat will help you meet and exceed your tons-per-day production needs.The CB-214D, CB-224D and CB-225D areversatile machines that can be used asthe only compactor on small sized jobsor on larger jobs as a support rollerfor high-production compactors.As a support roller, they work wellfor turning lanes, crossovers, shouldersand other similar sized jobs.With its 1000 mm wide drums,the CB-214D is well suited for rentalcustomers and contractors or agenciesthat maintain streets, roads, alleys orare adding paths to parks and recreationareas. In these applications, the tightturning radius and easy maneuverabilitymake it a perfect match.The CB-224D provides greaterproduction capabilities with its1200 mm wide drums. Its highamplitude and drum width give itthe capacity to achieve a tons-per-dayproduction rate that make it an excellentmatch for shoulders, small parking lots,lane additions or other similar sized jobs.Meanwhile, the CB-225D is versatilitydriven. Its steel front drum and rubbertired rear wheels allow it to functionas both a vibratory and a pneumaticcompactor. The CB-225D produces atight mat with a smooth finish.All three machines provide acomfortable and convenient operatingenvironment that contribute to theversatility of the machines. The roomyoperator’s station provides excellentvisibility to drum edge or tire contactpoints. Their low-profile designprovides great visibility.The outstanding rearward visibilityallows the operator to nearly touchthe leading edge of the drum toobstructions.In addition, the machines are quiet forthe operator and spectators, especiallybeneficial on commercial jobs whencompaction must coincide with day-todaybusiness operations. They also aresimple to operate.Caterpillar compactors are supportedby an extensive dealer network andparts distribution system as well as byCaterpillar dealer representatives thatare highly trained and motivated.Caterpillar offers a comprehensive lineof asphalt pavers, cold planers,compactors, reclaimers and stabilizers.2

Operator ComfortOperating ease and comfort promote all-day productivity.Single-lever control provides simplifiedoperation, making the machines aperfect fit for inexperienced operators.Easy-to-understand instrument panelallows the operator to quickly verifythe status of machine systems.Lockable cover protects instrumentationand gauges.Low sound levels make themcomfortable for both operatorsand spectators.Operator’s station is isolated with fourrubber mounts that help eliminatevibration before it reaches the operator,controls and instrumentation.Operator’s StationThe machines for EC territories are equipped with a suspended seat with switch that prevents movement of the machine if theoperator is not seated.Stationary seat is standard.The sliding seat is optional.Seat slides from side to sideand locks into three positions –right, center and left.When positioned on the left or rightside, operator has unobstructedvisibility to drum edge or wheelcontact points.Roomy operator’s station providesplenty of leg room for all-day operation.Adjustable bucket seat provides lastingcomfort.Optional suspension seat with armrestsenhances ride.Note: machine is shown with a suspension seatthat is optional.4

Excellent Forward and Rearward VisibilityLow-profile design provides convenient control of machines.Excellent forward visibility allows theoperator to see objects 0.58 m high and1 m in front of the machine.Rearward visibility is even better.Operator can see objects that are 0.35 mbehind the machine and flush to thesurface.Low-profile engine enclosureprovides unobstructed sight linesto ground personnel working nearmachine.Water Spray SystemCorrosion-proof system and extended-life components provide reliable operation.Constant or intermittent spraycapabilities provide extended operationbetween refills.Triple water filtration reduces machinedowntime caused by system clogs.Extended-life water pump providesoptimum spray and flow.Water pump and filters areconveniently located for easy access.Large water tank drain allows systemto be drained in less than five minutes.5

Drum Design Keeps Production HighMachined drum surfaces help ensure a smooth mat.Specially designed drum edges helpeliminate marks on deep lifts or whenturning.Drums are constructed of rolled steelplate and are finished to reduce surfaceirregularities.Replaceable rubber mounts isolatevibration and enhance vibratorycapabilities.Each drum is fitted with two retractable,spring-loaded, self-adjusting scrapers,positioned at the front and rear of eachdrum.Ends of each drum are fitted with steelplates that help prevent rocks, soil,asphalt or other material from enteringthe ends of the drums.Tires Enhance Versatility – CB-225DTires manipulate the mat under and between its wheels.Steel front drum and rubber tiresat the rear allow a single machineto function as both a double drum andpneumatic compactor.Four rubber tires generate a high groundcontact pressure that penetrates deepinto the lift.Because the tires are flexible,horizontal pressures develop, assistingwith compaction.Each tire is fitted with a replaceable,adjustable scraper. The scrapers can bepositioned above the tires when the theyare not needed.6

ServiceabilityTime-saving features reduce maintenance requirements and increase production.Fiberglass engine enclosure pivotsupward and locks open with a prop rod.External engine components,hydraulics and routine service pointsare clustered in easy-to-accesslocations.Daily Visual Maintenance systemsimplifies verification of fluid levelsand filter conditions.Extended-life oils increase maintenanceintervals for the vibratory system,hydraulic system and engine oil.Remote-mounted drains for hydraulicand engine oils provide simplifiedcollection of fluids.Quick-connect hydraulic test portssimplify system diagnosis.Electrical wiring is color-coded andnumbered for simple troubleshooting.Nylon-braided wrap and all-weatherconnectors ensure electrical systemintegrity.7
