CB32 Utility Compactor

The CB32 is a versatile machine that can be used as the only vibratory compactor on small sized jobs or on larger jobs as a support roller for high-production compactors. The CB32 provides greater production capabilities with its 1300 mm (51") wide drums. Its high amplitude and drum width give it the capacity to achieve a tons-per-day production rate that make it an excellent match for shoulders, small parking lots, lane additions or other similar sized jobs.


Caterpillar C1.5 Engine



The C1.5 engine provides efficient power while meeting U.S. EPA Tier 4a engine emission requirements.

Power



The liquidcooled C1.5 engine provides a gross power of 24.6 kW 33 hp for good performance and reliability on grades and in tough conditions.

Large Cooling System



The large cooling system with integrated water and oil coolers keep engine temperatures low in order to maximize fuel efficiency and minimize emissions.

High Ambient Cooling



The high ambient cooling system provides efficient operation in high ambient temperatures.

Low Sound Levels



Low sound levels are achieved in both operating speeds. An intermediate throttle position enables even quieter operation for optimum operator comfort.

500 Hour Oil Change



The oil change interval for the C1.5 engine is 500 hours, reducing service requirements and maximizing uptime.

Traction Control Optional



The optional traction control system transfers torque between the front and rear drums when slippage occurs.

Operators Station



The convenient, comfortable operating environment with threeposition seating provides good visibility and promotes daylong productivity.

Operators Station



The operators station incorporates a fullyequipped console and an adjustable suspension seat. Arm and wrist rests provide better operator comfort for daylong productivity. The steering wheel includes a steering knob for easy maneuverability in turns.

Instrument Panel



The easytounderstand instrument panel integrates a fuel level indicator, hour meter and light indicators for machine functions. The key switch includes an automatic engine preheat feature that improves coldweather starting.

Smooth Operation



The hydraulic propel levers two steps regulating curve provides smooth and precise control at low speed. Machine speed increases gradually in the first half of lever stroke for optimum control in confined areas. The second half of lever stroke enables the maximum propel speed to be reached quickly.

Foldable ROPS Optional



The foldable ROPS includes two gas shocks that assist the operator and folds forward or backward without the use of special tools.

Vibratory System



The vibratory system provides good balance between frequency and amplitude in order to meet various job site conditions.

Dual Frequency Vibratory System



The standard vibratory system incorporates two frequencies of 63 Hz 3,780 vpm and 55 Hz 3,300 vpm in order to provide application versatility.

Vibratory Selection



A vibratory selection switch provides standard front, rear and both drum vibratory capabilities.

Automatic Vibratory Control



The vibratory system includes an automatic start feature that activates whenever the propel lever is moved from the neutral position.

Podstyle Eccentric Weights



The eccentric weights are enclosed in a podstyle housing providing cleanliness that extends bearing life.

Rear Drum Vibratory Delay Optional



The rear drum vibratory delay feature controls the start of the rear drum in order to assist power management on slopes.

Water Spray System



Corrosionproof components provide long life and reliable operation.

Water Tank



A 150L 39.6 gal highcapacity polyethylene water tank is enclosed within the machine frame, providing extended operation. An additional tank with a 90 L 23.7 gal capacity provides a total water capacity of 240 L 63.4 gal. A newly designed drain allows the entire system to be drained quickly.

Extended Operating Intervals



The standard 150L 39.6 gal tank provides an operating interval of 1.5 hours between refills. An additional 90 L 23.7 gal tank extends the interval by an additional hour, while the intermittent spray mode doubles the operating time.

Water Pump and Filters



The extended life water pump and filters are conveniently located for easy access while providing optimum spray and flow.

Retractable SelfAdjusting Scrapers



The retractable, selfadjusting scrapers utilize a hardened, compound that provides durability. The ability to retract the scrapers when moving between job sites extends the service life and lowers owning and operating costs.

Reliability and Serviceability



The CB32 provides the reliability and serviceability that youve come to expect from Caterpillar.

Vertical Lift Engine Enclosure



The vertical lift engine enclosure allows fast access to routine service points.

Water Spray System



The filters can be easily removed without the use of special tools.

Extended Life Oils



Extended life oils increase maintenance intervals for the engine oil, hydraulic system and vibratory system. Remotemounted drains provide simplified collection of fluids.

QuickConnect Hydraulic Test Ports



The quickconnect hydraulic test ports simplify system diagnosis.

Colorcoded Electrical System



Electrical wiring is colorcoded and numbered for simple troubleshooting. Nylonbraided wrap and allweather connectors ensure electrical system integrity.
