This Caterpillar CS54B is a drum compactor — sometimes called a vibratory roller or soil compactor — a heavy construction machine used to compact soil, gravel, and asphalt on road-building and civil engineering projects. Caterpillar is one of the world's most recognized manufacturers of heavy construction, mining, and infrastructure equipment, with a long-standing reputation for producing durable, high-performance machines across a broad range of applications.
At the core of this machine is a CAT C4.4 engine rated at 131 horsepower, driving an 84-inch smooth drum. The operating weight is 10,555 kg (25,346 lb), with 5,880 kg (13,990 lb) of that weight concentrated at the drum — a meaningful figure for understanding ground pressure and compaction performance. The drum delivers a maximum centrifugal force of 52,600 lb and a minimum of 29,900 lb, giving the operator a meaningful range for matching compaction effort to the material at hand. Amplitude at 30.5 Hz runs at 1.9 mm on the high setting and 0.95 mm on the low setting, allowing the machine to be tuned for sensitive or demanding compaction conditions.
The operator environment is an enclosed cab equipped with both heat and air conditioning, suited to working in Alberta's wide range of seasonal conditions. An onboard display provides instrumentation data and diagnostics, and the machine is designed with exceptional visibility to the tires and drum edge, which aids precision work along edges and around obstacles.
This unit was built in 2013 and is being offered used from Alberta, Canada. A repair was carried out at 5,096 hours on September 7, 2023, consisting of a pump drive coupler installation. The machine is priced at $79,894 USD.
