Equipment Overview
The CAT CS56B is a smooth drum vibratory soil compactor with a 2,134 mm drum width, convertible to a padfoot roller with an optional oval or square padfoot shell kit. It has an operating weight of 11,235 kg (with ROPS/FOPS canopy), suited to road construction, aggregate bases and larger earth fills in the 10–12 tonne weight class.
Power comes from a Cat C7.1 engine producing 116.1 kW (155.7 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 runs at 30.5 Hz with up to 301 kN of centrifugal force, and Cat Compaction Control (Machine Drive Power) helps the operator confirm when specified density has been reached.
