Benefits & Features
Vibratory System
High Centrifugal Force and Amplitude
High centrifugal force and amplitude provides superior compactive effort and exceptional productivity.
Vibratory Frequency
A vibratory frequency of 35 Hz (2100 vpm) combined with optimal drum weight, enables the operator to achieve density in fewer passes
Heavy-duty Bearings
The large heavy-duty bearings for the weight shaft are designed for high compactive forces.
Bearing Lube Service
A 1 year/1000 hour vibratory bearing lube service interval reduces maintenance.
Heavy-duty Isolation Mounts
Heavy-duty isolation mounts allow more force to be transmitted to the ground and less vibration to the drum yoke.
Caterpillar 3054C Diesel Engine
Direct Injection Fuel System
An adjustment-free direct injection fuel system provides individually metered high-pressure, direct injection of fuel for maximum efficiency.
Large Engine Oil Cooler
The large engine oil cooler reduces oil deterioration and varnishing of internal components. It allows for 500 hour engine oil change intervals.
Low-mounted Oil Pump
The low-mounted oil pump allows for quicker start-up lubrication.
Combination Fuel Filter and Water Separator
The combination fuel filter and water separator offers superior protection for the fuel injection system.
Meets Emissions Standards
The Caterpillar 3054C engine meets U.S. EPA Tier 2 and European EU Stage II emissions control standards worldwide.
Propel System
Single Propel Pump with Flow Divider
The single propel pump with flow divider provides separate, balanced hydraulic flow to the rear wheel axle and the drum drive motors. It provides high gradeability and increases tractive effort in loose or poor underfoot conditions.
Limited Slip Differential
The limited slip differential provides balanced tractive effort and smooth torque transfer to both rear wheels.
Infinitely Variable Speed Range
The CP-323C has infinitely variable speed range for maximum torque when using the leveling blade or grade climbing, plus the ability to move quickly over longer distances.
Flushing Valves
Flushing valves in each propel circuit help keep hydraulic oil cool and clean for maximum system efficiency.
High Travel Speed
High travel speed up to 8.9 km/h (5.5 mph).
Operator's Station
Single Lever Control
Single lever control for propel and vibratory On/Off provides simple and low effort operation.
Propel Lever
The easy to reach propel lever is located to the right of the operator's seat for convenient and accurate machine control.
Operational Guages
The operational gauges are located on the steering console for easy reference when operating.
Visibility
Visibility is unrestricted to the drum and tire edge and to the side and rear of the machine.
Operator's Seat
The operator's seat is comfortable, durable and adjustable with flip-up arm rests and a 76 mm (3") wide retractable seat belt.
Isolated Operator's Station
The operator's station is isolated with heavy-duty rubber mounts to reduce machine vibration transmitted to the operator.
Compact Size for Specific Applications
Narrow Machine Width
The narrow machine width of 1.39 m (4'6") is ideal for working in trench applications or job sites with limited space.
Machine Weight
The machine weight is good for light compaction of uniform layers over sewer and water pipes.
Propel System
The propel system allows the operator to stop, maintain machine position and change directions while on a grade.
Turning Radius
The CP-323 has a short turning radius for good maneuverability in confined work areas.
Padfoot Drum
The padfoot drum features involuted pads in shape to walk out of the lift without fluffing or "kicking up" the soil around the pads. Pads are tapered to help clean themselves. Heavy-duty scrapers mounted on the front of the drum are individually adjustable and replaceable and help to reduce excessive material build up between the pads.
Leveling Blade (Optional)
Expands Machine Versatility and Utilization
The optional leveling blade expands the machines versatility and utilization for use in material knockdown, site leveling, trench backfilling and light dozing applications.
Single Lever Blade Control
Single lever blade control is located to the right of the operator's seat for simple and convenient operation.
Efficient Propel System Combined with Ample Engine Horsepower
Efficient propel system combined with ample engine horsepower provides plenty of power and tractive effort for effective blade use without drum spin.
Cutting Edges
The two-piece reversible and replaceable cutting edge increases edge service life and reduce replacement costs.
Mounting Point
The high mounting point provides superior curb and obstruction clearance.
Reliability and Serviceability
Visual Indicators
Visual indicators allow easy check of radiator coolant, hydraulic oil tank level and air restriction indicator.
Operator's Station Tilts
The operator's station tilts forward to allow convenient access to the hydraulic pumps.
Cooling System
A rear mounted cooling system provides easy access for cleaning. Hydraulic oil cooler tilts rearward for additional access to the radiator.
500 hour engine oil change interval.
Vibratory Bearing Lube Service
The 1 year/1000 hour vibratory bearing lube service interval reduces maintenance.
Quick-connect Hydraulic Test Ports
Quick-connect hydraulic test ports simplify system diagnostics.
Ecology Drains
Ecology drains provide an environmental method to drain fluids. They are included on the radiator, engine oil pan, hydraulic and fuel tank.
Scheduled Oil Sampling (S•O•S) Ports
Scheduled Oil Sampling (S•O•S) ports allow for simple fluid collection of engine oil, engine coolant and hydraulic oil.
Secure Hose Routing
Secure hose routing with polyethylene blocks reduce rubbing and increase service life.
Electrical System
Nylon braided wrap and all-weather connectors ensure electrical system integrity. Electrical wiring is color-coded, numbered and labeled with component identifiers to simplify troubleshooting.
Maintenance-free Caterpillar Batteries
Maintenance-free Caterpillar batteries are mounted in the rear of the machine are accessible through the swing out rear grill. Cat batteries are specifically designed for maximum cranking power and protection against vibration.
Product Link Wire-ready
Machine is Product Link wire-ready. The Caterpillar Product Link System (CPLS) ensures maximum uptime and minimum repair costs by simplifying tracking of equipment fleets. provides automatic machine location and hour updates. can be obtained through your local Caterpillar dealer.
