Caterpillar's new vibratory asphalt compactors, the CB-214E, CB-224E and CB-225E, are powered by 3-cylinder Caterpillar 3013C diesel engines that provide a gross power of 32.7 hp. The hydrostatic propel system is designed to provide smooth starts and stops to help ensure a flawless mat. The hydrostatic propel system provides service braking, and a brake interlock prevents the machines from being propelled while the brakes are applied. The CB-200 E-series machines are equipped with a sliding station, which includes a bucket seat and can be equipped with an optional suspension seat. The sliding station moves from side to side to provide visibility to drum or tire edge contact points. The instrument panel incorporates warning lights, a fuel gauge and a service hour meter to verify the status of the machine systems.
