Equipment Overview
The CAT CP68B is a padfoot drum vibratory soil compactor built for cohesive and semi-cohesive soil applications, with a 2,130 mm drum width. It has an operating weight of around 14,685 kg fully configured, part of the B-Series large compactors in the 16–20 tonne weight class used for airport construction, railway foundations and dam fill work.
Power comes from a Cat C4.4 engine with ACERT producing 117 kW (157 hp), driving a dual pump propel system with separate flow to the drum drive and rear axle for strong gradeability and traction. The vibratory system offers a standard high-amplitude frequency of 30.5 Hz with an optional variable-frequency range for tuning compaction to different soil types.
