This Caterpillar CS-531C is a drum compactor — sometimes referred to as a vibratory roller or road roller — a type of heavy compaction machine used to compress soil, gravel, asphalt, and other road-base materials during construction and infrastructure work. Caterpillar is one of the world's most widely recognised manufacturers of heavy construction and earthmoving equipment, serving industries ranging from road building and mining to general civil engineering.
This example was manufactured in 1997 and is offered in used condition from a location in South Korea, with pricing quoted on an FOB Korean port basis. The machine has an operating weight in the range of 9.4 to 10 tonnes, placing it in the mid-size segment of single-drum compactors suited to both road and site compaction tasks.
Drive configuration is rear only, meaning propulsion is delivered through the rear axle rather than through the drum, which is a relevant consideration for operators assessing traction and manoeuvrability on different ground conditions.
