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.
