| Optimum Fuel Efficiency | The operating engine speed of 2400 rpm maximizes fuel efficiency, providing more time spent on the job and less time spent refueling. |
|
| Isolated Platform | Vibration transmitted to the operator is limited due to the rubber isolation mounts located on the base of the operator’s station and under the seat. |
|
| Balanced Frequency and Amplitude | The machines incorporate a frequency of 53.3 Hz (3,200 vpm), and an amplitude of 0.4 mm (0.016"), providing a smooth mat finish. |
|
| Drum Scrapers | Each drum utilizes a spring-loaded, self-adjusting scraper, and a fixed position scraper to prevent material build-up. |
|
| Visibility | Visibility to the drum edges provides the operator with complete control when working near objects. |
|
| Efficient Drum Coverage | The standard gravity-fed water spray system utilizes perforated plastic spray bars that provide complete drum coverage. |
|
| Quick-Connect Hydraulic Test Ports | The quick-connect hydraulic test ports simplify system diagnosis. |
|
| Water Spray System | Corrosion-proof components system provides long life and reliable operation. |
|
| Serviceability | The CB14 provides the reliability and serviceability that you’ve come to expect from Caterpillar. |
|
| Vertical Lift Engine Enclosure | The vertical lift engine enclosure allows fast access to routine service points. |
|
| Grouped Service Points | External engine components, hydraulics, and routine service points are grouped for easy access. |
|
| Protected Electrical System | The electrical system utilizes color-coded wires, all-weather connections, and nylon-braided wrap to provide reliability. |
|
| Operator’s Station | The operating environment provides easy-to-use controls and good visibility for day-long comfort. |
|
| Smooth Operation | The hydraulic propel lever provides smooth and precise control when working in tight quarters. |
|
| Good Visibility | The sloped engine enclosure and low profile rear frame provide good visibility. |
|
| Foldable ROPS (Optional) | The foldable ROPS can be lowered forward or rearward without the use of tools; providing easy transport. |
|
| Vibratory System and Drum | The vibratory system provides good balance between frequency and amplitude in order to meet various job site conditions. |
|
| Automatic Vibratory Control | The vibratory system automatically starts whenever the propel lever is moved from the neutral position. |
|
| Dual Drum Drive | The dual driving drums provide continuous full drum traction with hydraulic motors fitted in series. |
|
| Versatile Drum Selection | The CB14 can be equipped with an offset front drum or with extra-wide drums for increased versatility. |
|
| Extra-Wide Drums | The CB14 XW features two, 1000 mm (39") wide drums for increased versatility on a variety of applications. |
|
| Heavier Operating Weight | The operating weight of the CB14 XW is 1840 kg (4057 lb), 13.5% heavier than the CB14 machine. |
|
| Caterpillar® C1.1 Engine | The C1.1 engine provides efficient power with low sound levels while meeting U.S. EPA Tier 2 Engine Emission requirements. |
|
| Power | The liquid-cooled C1.1 engine provides a gross power of 16.1 kW (21.6 hp) at 2400 rpm. The low engine rpm results in low sound levels that benefits the operator and surrounding environment. |
|
| High Capacity Cooling System | The high capacity cooling system with an integrated water
and oil cooler keeps engine temperatures low in order to
maximize fuel efficiency and minimize emissions. |
|
| Fully-Equipped Console | An easy-to-understand instrument panel integrates an hour meter and light indicators for machine functions. The key switch integrates an automatic engine pre-heat feature to assist in cool-weather starting. The steering wheel utilizes a steering knob that simplifies maneuverability in turns. |
|
| Vibration Selection | The CB14 full flush version utilizes a rear-drum-only vibratory selection while the CB14 and CB14 XW provide either both drums or front-drum-only vibratory selections. |
|
| Flush Compaction | The CB14 Full Flush incorporates a 900 mm (35") offset front drum. The drum is offset on the right side providing flush compaction near walls, curbs, and other vertical obstructions. |
|
| Large Capacity Water Tank | The 150 L (39.6 gal) water tank is protected within the machine frame. The large tank design provides extended operation and a single fill point for easy refills. |
|
| Pressurized Water Spray System (Optional) | The optional pressurized water spray system utilizes a three-mode spray system with constant, off, or intermittent capabilities. This system provides triple filtration, and the filters and spray nozzles can be easily removed without the use of special tools. |
|
| Extended Life Oils | Extended life oils increase service intervals for the vibratory system, hydraulic system, and engine. Remote-mounted drains provide simplified collection of fluids. |
