Caterpillar Inc. announces the addition of the CB14B Utility Roller
to the Paving Products machine family. The new CB14B is designed for compaction
of asphalt and other granular materials. The CB14B is a 1.5-ton utility roller
available with 900 mm (35”) or 1000 mm (39") tandem vibratory drums. It
offers excellent comfort, simple operation, good traction, and a reliable water
spray system. Their size and weight make them highly mobile and easy to
transport. Typical applications include
bike paths, courtyards, patchwork, parking lots, driveways, town
centers, trenches, and shoulder work.
Dual Drum-Drive and Vibratory
System
The CB14B features dual driving drums available at widths of 900 mm (35") or 1000 mm (39").
The dual drum-drive powertrain provides continuous full-drum traction on soft
base materials, uneven surfaces, and steeper grades. Each drum is fitted with
front and rear scrapers that are spring-loaded, retractable and self-adjusting,
no tools required.
Operator Comfort
The operating environment is designed for comfort and efficiency. Rubber mounts minimize vibration to the
platform, seat and steering wheel, while the extensive legroom, sloped
hood, adjustable seating, and ergonomic propel lever enhance performance and
control.
Pressurized Water Spray
System
The water spray system features a standard 100 L (26.4 gal) water tank, corrosion-proof materials,
extended-life water
pump, and dual-filtering system. The pressurized system is equipped with four
spray nozzles mounted over each drum for even coverage and an eight-position
timer that allows the operator to adjust water flow and match jobsite conditions.
Self-adjusting, retractable
scrapers keep the drums clean for reliable performance in all types of
applications. The large fill port
makes refills fast and easy, while grouped drain ports simplify drainage from a
single location. Hand removal of water
filters, spray nozzles, and spray bars make the system easy to clean and
maintain.
Easy Transport, Highly
Maneuverable
Articulated
steering provides smooth, accurate control in confined areas, while the short
machine length, retractable ROPS, and high ground clearance, simplify transport
on a variety of trucks and trailers. The CB14B’s minimal side clearance also provides optimal visibility and
maneuverability next to curbs and obstacles, while the low center of
gravity delivers stability when operating in open areas or tight locations.
Simple Service
The operating platform and front
engine hood both tilt up for easy access to components and routine service
checks. Grouped fluid drains are easily accessible and remotely mounted to
facilitate ecological draining.
Engine and Cooling System
The CB14B is equipped with the Kohler KDW 1003 3-cylinder liquid cooled
engine that delivers 16.8 kW
(22.5 hp) of power @ 2850 rpm and meets U.S.
Tier 4 Final emissions standards. The low engine speed promotes fuel efficiency
and lower sound levels. The large cooling system provides efficient performance in normal and high
ambient temperatures. An aluminum radiator offers corrosion resistance and reliability, while a large space
between the cores provides efficient cooling and easy cleaning.
Protection against vandalism
The lockable fuel fill and engine
compartment protect vital fluids, while a lockable, self-storing cover
safeguards the instrument panel.
