Performance
Compactor design delivers unmatched versatility.
Meeting density and smoothness specifications can often be
challenging. Caterpillar®understands this, and designs asphalt
compactors that simplify operation, yet provide versatility to
perform in all types of applications. Having the right equipment
and understanding its capability will help you meet those
performance requirements for every situation that you encounter.
Superior Mat Finish
Maneuverability and dealing with tight corners is a common
challenge for all asphalt compactors. Maneuvering on the mat to
finish a pass or follow a radius can often result in tearing the
surface. The Cat®CD54 with split drum design, permits tight
turns and significantly reduces tearing so the operator is free to
concentrate on pattern accuracy and keeping up with the paver.
Vibratory Selection
Selecting the amplitude that provides the correct force and
selecting the frequency that matches paving speed are critical to
successful asphalt compaction. Cat®asphalt compactors offer
vibratory systems with dual amplitudes and frequencies.
Vibratory versatility and the knowledge to use it are fundamental
and part of the Caterpillar solution.
Keeping the Drum Surface Wet
Keeping the drum wet is critical to all asphalt compactors.
The high capacity water spray system offers triple filtration and
optimum flow for excellent performance.
Power and Efficiency
Having enough power to perform on inclines and maintaining
the desired impact spacing when changing directions is essential
to asphalt compaction. The Cat®3054C DIT engine combines
the power to excel in tough conditions with the fuel efficiency to
continue operating throughout the day.
Matching Paving Speed
Keeping pace with the paver ensures that compaction takes place
in the desired temperature zone. Choosing the right drum width
that effectively covers the mat, while matching the vibratory
frequency with the speed of the paver, leads to consistent mat
quality.

bearings that support each drum half and eliminates any
potential for contact between the two halves. Dual seals provide
two layers of protection that prevent contamination and ensure
long-term performance. Oil bath lubrication delivers continuous
recirculation of oil inside the sealed housing, leading to longer
service intervals and lower operating costs.
Dual Amplitude/Dual Frequency
Dual amplitude settings work efficiently in a wider range of
applications. Aswitch at the operator station changes amplitude
and frequency is adapted. This simple setup eliminates the
guess-work associated with vibratory selection.
Automated Vibratory Control
An auto-vibe function allows the operator to determine when the
vibratory system should engage upon starting out or when
changing direction. Automatic vibration start-up and shut-off
helps produce smooth, flawless mats. This function also has a
manual control for start-and-stop work.

Water Spray System
The Cat spray system provides redundancy in the system,
ensuring reliable performance that keeps the machine on the
mat.
Hours of Operation
The single, 750 liter water tank provides hours of operation
between refills. Spray can be set on continuous for maximum
wetting action or intermittent for maximum duration between
fill-ups. The sloping design provides excellent machine
visibility to the drum while the single fill point can be
accessed from the left side of the machine.
Excellent Filtration
Keeping the spray nozzles free of foreign particles is essential
to asphalt compaction. The Cat system provides triple
filtration that minimizes clogs. The filters are highly
accessible and can be quickly removed for cleaning without
the use of special tools, limiting machine downtime.
Long-Life Pumps
Dual water pumps provide the necessary flow to the spray
nozzles. During operation the pump usage alternates with the
direction of travel so that only one pump operates at a time.
Alternating pump usage extends the operational life, while
lowering replacement costs.

Split Drums
Superior mat finish with Caterpillar split drums
Tight Turning Without Tearing
An inside turning radius of 2.8 meters significantly increases the
maneuverability of this high production asphalt compactor. An
effective split drum propel system lets you use the tight turning
radius without damaging the hot mat.
Wide Drum Offset
The 1.3 meter drum offset provides more coverage for higher
production on thin mats while minimizing heat loss prior to
compaction. Ease of operation is provided through fingertip
control at the propel lever for one handed operation. An audio
alarm alerts the operator when the drums are aligned, allowing
the operator to concentrate on mat conditions.
Heavy-duty Design
The thick steel fabrication used in production provides a strong,
solid frame that resists flexing and holds up to the tough
operating conditions of asphalt compaction. The heavy-duty
construction optimizes vibratory efficiency by directing vibration
into the mat, not through the machine frame as wasted energy.
The frame features a unique center beam design that provides
easy access to engine and other main components. The robust
front and rear hitch articulation include maintenance free tapered
roller bearings that are sealed and greased for life, leading to
reduced service requirements and lower life-time operating
costs.
Steering
Wide offset capability provides high production work.
Four Steering Modes
The CD54 features four steering modes: front, rear,
coordinated front and rear and crab operation. Coordinated
steering produces a 2.8 meter inside turning radius for
maximum jobsite maneuverability.
Sensitive To The Touch Steering
The benefit of electronic steering is combined with the feel of
hydraulic steering. When the drum encounters resistance,
friction to the steering wheel increases, providing an intuitive
feel that is extremely beneficial when operating adjacent to
vertical barriers and curbs or when the drum articulation
reaches the end of travel during tight turns.

Powertrain
Smooth control and quiet operation leads to higher productivity.
Cat Engine
The 4-cylinder Cat 3054C Direct Injection Turbo (DIT) engine
provides clean, quiet operation while delivering superior
performance and durability. The 74.5 kW (101 hp) rated gross
power engine meets EU directive 97/68/EC Stage II emission
requirements.
Balanced Torque and Proportional Speed Control
The split drum drive system features an electronically actuated
traction control that prevents unequal rotation of the drum halves
and assures balanced torque when going straight. To avoid
tearing the mat in tight turns, the drum halves need to rotate at
different speeds. The split drum drive system utilizes
maintenance-free tapered roller bearings, for excellent reliability.
The system also features speed sensing propel motors that allow
additional flow to the outside drum drive, ensuring proportional
speed between the drum halves. The proportional speed is
controlled by the steering angle and the ECM controller to
ensure balanced torque when turning.

Smooth Operation
Responsive controls generate operator confidence and improve
productivity. When in control, operators are able to stay focused
on mat conditions, allowing them to make the necessary
adjustments throughout the day. To accomplish this, the machine
uses an electronic control module (ECM) that monitors the
propel system in order to optimise performance.

Operating Environment
Superior comfort keeps you productive all day long.
All-Around Visibility
Keeping operators alert of their surroundings and aware of the
machine and mat conditions is a focus of the operating station.
The ROPS/FOPS cab with full floor-to-ceiling glass on the front
and rear corners provides an unobstructed line of sight to the
drum edges, drum surfaces, and both sides of the machine. The
right hand window can be easily opened for additional side
visibility when required. Good all-around visibility enables the
operator to optimizes water spray performance and compaction
coverage when operating in the offset steering mode.
Comfortable Seating
Keeping the job site in clear view is important when working
close to the paver. The multi-position seating provides a variety
of adjustments that help the operator stay focused and in control.
A tilting steering column and multiple seat adjustments allow the
operator to customize weight, height, armrests, and the backrest
to suit their individual needs.
Automatic Speed Control (ASC)
A speed control dial used in conjunction with the propel lever
provides a cruise control type feature that allows the operator to
meet the required speed to keep pace with the paver. By moving
the propel lever to full forward or to full reverse allows the
machine to travel at the speed determined by the adjustable dial.
Convenient Controls
At Caterpillar, we strive to build machines that accommodate
operators with all types of skill level. We understand that
providing machines that perform well regardless of skill level
can lead to greater productivity. Convenient layout and easy-tounderstand controls build operator confidence. Being able to
