CAT CB2.7 Double Drum Roller

The CAT CB2.7 Compactor is a pretty efficient little machine – a compact double drum vibratory roller that gets the job done on smaller paving projects without breaking the bank. It’s a real workhorse, especially when it comes to laying down asphalt and gravel on footpaths, driveways, bike paths, and car parks – those kinds of urban jobs where you need something a bit more agile.

It’s powered by a pretty fuel-efficient Caterpillar diesel engine which delivers smooth, reliable vibration action – and with a few different frequency and amplitude settings to choose from, you can tailor the performance to suit whatever material you’re working with or where you are in the compaction process. It’s also got a hydrostatic drive system, which pretty much lets you pick your own pace and direction – even in tight spaces.

From the driver’s seat, the operator gets a pretty comfortable and pretty clear view of the action going on underneath – clear sightlines to both drums, intuitive controls that help you get your compaction on target. Plus its compact dimensions, balanced chassis, and tight turning circle make it super easy to get into all the tight spaces that bigger rollers just can’t fit into.

It’s built to last, too – all according to Caterpillar’s usual high standards of durability. The drum components are pretty tough, the frame’s strong, and the service points are easy to get to, which makes maintenance a piece of cake. All in all, the CAT CB2.7 Double Drum Roller is a really popular choice for the guys (and gals) doing smaller-scale asphalt and base compaction work – and for good reason.
