CATERPILLAR CB224 DOUBLE DRUM ROLLER
3 TON DOUBLE DRUM ROLLER
The Cat CB224 (encompassing highly utilized fleet generations like the CB224E) is a highly agile, 2.6-ton class double-drum utility tandem vibratory roller. It is explicitly engineered for commercial asphalt paving, shoulder expansions, parking lot construction, and municipal patch-repair work. Powered by a quiet, fuel-efficient Cat 3013C liquid-cooled diesel engine, this compact machine excels in tight, busy urban areas where low noise emissions and precise handling are critical.
An essential asset for rental clients, it features a single hydrostatic propel lever that offers beginners and seasoned operators smooth, intuitive control over variable speeds. The high-capacity, rustproof polyethylene water tank is paired with an adjustable pressure spray system to ensure the steel drums remain wet, preventing asphalt from sticking. Built with factory-sealed pod-style eccentric weights, the CB224 ensures high structural reliability and optimal impact distribution, delivering a top-tier smooth mat finish across both base and top lifts.
