This Caterpillar CB24 is a drum compactor — sometimes called a roller or vibratory roller — a type of road compaction machine used to compress asphalt, soil, and base materials during road construction and pavement work. Caterpillar is one of the world's most recognised names in heavy construction and infrastructure equipment, manufacturing machinery for industries ranging from road building and earthmoving to mining and quarrying.
This 2009 machine is offered in used condition and is located in Rockhampton, Queensland, Australia. It presents as a twin smooth drum configuration, meaning both the front and rear drums have smooth steel surfaces suited to finishing and densifying asphalt layers. The operating weight is 2,500 kg, placing it in the light compactor class appropriate for confined work areas, urban paving, and smaller road or footpath projects.
Power comes from a Caterpillar C1.5 engine, a compact diesel unit from Caterpillar's own engine range. The machine shows 1,274 hours on the meter and is equipped with a water system including sprayers, which is standard on drum compactors to prevent hot asphalt from adhering to the drum surfaces during operation.
The listed price of $18,328 excludes GST.
