Clean Operation



The 3054C meets U.S. EPA Tier 2 and E.U. Stage II engine emissions regulations.

Balanced Power



The Pressure Override POR valve balances power demand in order to provide responsiveness.

Water Spray System



The CB434D has a corrosionproof water spray system and longlife components for reliable operation.

Water Tank



A single highcapacity polyethylene water tank is enclosed within the machine frame. The tank design provides extended operation, a single fill point and a single drain port.

Backup System



There is a complete backup system controlled from the operators station.

Spray System



The CB434D has constant or intermittent spray capabilities for longer operation between fillups. The intermittent spray is infinitely variable allowing finetuning for any condition. A quickrelease spray bar cover protects spray from wind. An onoff spray control is provided on the propel lever to simplify operation.

Water Filtration



Triple water filtration reduces machine downtime caused by system clogs.

Two Pump System



The system has two pumps but only one pump operates at a time, doubling pump life in terms of machine hours. An auto pump control setting selects water from one pump while traveling forward and water from the other pump while traveling rearward. The system maintains even pump usage for uniform life. Manual override control is provided. The water pumps and inline filters are conveniently grouped and located in the hitch area for easy service. The longlife water pumps are self priming and pressure regulating to provide optimum spray and flow.

OnOff Spray Control



The spray control is located on the propel lever providing simple operation.

QuickRelease Spray Bars Covers



Quickrelease spray bar covers shield the spray bars and nozzles from wind and sun, allowing the spray nozzles to provide consistent coverage across the drum surface.

Freeze Protection Kit Optional



The freeze protection kit includes an inline antifreeze bottle that allows the operator to pump antifreeze into the system.

Visibility



Excellent operator visibility to the work surface increases production.

Visibility to Objects



Visibility to objects 1 m 3.3 high and 1 m 3.3 in front of the machine or behind the machine. The CB434D design also provides excellent visibility to the drum surfaces and the drum edges.

Bumper Design



A raised bumper design allows maximum visibility and movement in forward and reverse.

Sloped Hood



The sloped hood of the CB434D provides excellent visibility to the rear and sides of the machine.

Vertical Folded Drum Supports



Vertical folded drum supports provide clear view of drum edge and pavement well ahead of the drum. Angled supports have high clearance for work against barriers and walls.

Control Console Platform



The control console platform has nine rotating positions and seven sliding positions that provide excellent visibility to the drum surfaces and the drum edges.

Operators Station



The operators station of the CB434D asphalt compactor is ergonomically designed for maximum operator productivity while offering good visibility and unmatched comfort.

Steering Console and Instrumentation Gauges



The steering console and instrumentation gauges are infinitely adjustable within the tilt range to the desired position of the operator. The entire console tilts for simple entrance and exit. A lockable vandal cover is provided for the console.

Propel Handle



The multifunction ergonomic propel handle simplifies operation with the following controls propel speed, vibe onoff, water spray onoff, horn and drum offset optional.

Control Console Platform



The control console platform has nine rotating positions and seven sliding positions that maximizes operator comfort and provides excellent visibility to the drum surfaces and the drum edges.

Operators Seat



The operators seat is comfortable and durable. It has adjustable foreaft position, suspension stiffness, and flipup arm rests with a 76 mm 3 wide retractable seat belt.

Isolated Operators Station



The operators station is isolated with four heavyduty rubber mounts which reduce machine vibration to the operator.

Floor Mat



A rubber floor mat provides good footing and helps further isolate the operator from the machine vibration and noise.

Automatic Speed Control



A speed control dial located on the operators console simplifies operation by allowing the operator to preset the machine speed or impact spacing. The speed control dial allows the operator to push the propel lever to the forward or reverse positions while repeating the desired speed or impact spacing.

5050 Articulation



5050 Articulation makes it easier for the operator when maneuvering near curbs and objects.

Centered Articulation



Centered articulation with 50 of the machine length behind the pivot and 50 forward delivers evenly balanced weight front to rear. Drums track in the same path even in turns.

Forward and Reverse



The operator can concentrate on only one drum when entering or leaving a curve resulting in the identical response for forward and reverse along any curve. This helps prevent damage to existing structures when moving away from curbs and other objects.

Serviceability



The CB434D XW asphalt compactor continues to provide exceptional reliability and serviceability that customers expect from Caterpillar.

Hood Arrangement



The verticallift hood allows routine service when parked close to other machines and structures, providing easy ground level access to routine maintenance points.

Ground Level Servicing



Ground level servicing simplifies routine maintenance with hydraulic components designed for easy access.

Hitch



The sealedforlife hitch simplifies overall machine maintenance.

Eccentric Weight Bearings



The oilbath lubrication of the eccentric weight bearings reduces routine maintenance to 3 year3000 hour intervals.

Water Spray Nozzles and Filters



Water spray nozzles and filters are easily removed by hand without the need of special tools.

Water System Pumps



The water system pumps, filters and tank drain are centrally located at ground level for easy access.

Selfadjusting Scrapers



Selfadjusting scrapers are designed for even wear. The scrapers are specifically located to provide easy ground level access to replace worn out blades. The scrapers can be retracted while roading the machine.

Remote Mounted Fittings



Remote mounted fittings simplify draining hydraulic and fuel tanks.

Quickconnect Hydraulic Test Ports



Quickconnect hydraulic test ports simplify system diagnosis.

Remote Mounted Quick Start Post



A remote mounted quick start post allows for easy jump starts.

Product Link Ready



The machine is Product Link ready. The Caterpillar Product Link System 40CPLS41 ensures maximum uptime and minimum repair costs by simplifying tracking of equipment fleets. the system provides automatic machine location and hour updates. You can purchase the system from your local Caterpillar dealer.

Engine Access



Removable side panels on the engine compartment allows easy access to hydraulic components.

XW Package
