Pod-style Eccentric Weights
The B-Series utilizes the proven Cat pod-style vibratory system. The system design significantly reduces the risk of contamination common to conventional designs that employ metal weights. Providing unrivaled reliability and performance, the Cat pod-style vibratory system is virtually maintenance free, with the first scheduled maintenance period at 3 years or 3,000 hours.
More Amplitude
The B-Series vibratory soil compactors deliver enhanced compaction performance as the result of an increase in amplitude. Maximum amplitude is now amongst the highest in the industry, and provides a greater ability to put compaction energy into the ground.
Auto-vibe
There is a new automatic vibration function. When vibration is engaged, vibration will cease as the compactor slows beneath a predetermined speed. When propel resumes, vibration recommences at a predetermined speed. This feature contributes to uniform, high-quality work.
Padfoot Drum
Padfoot drums are ideal for compacting cohesive and semi-cohesive materials and can be equipped with either Cat exclusive oval pads or conventional square pads. The oval faced design provides deeper lift penetration, contributing to better overall compaction in cohesive soils than other pad designs. The square faced design provides optimal performance on semi-cohesive soils. It has a higher surface area, which allows it to create a good surface seal; but the larger face area does not allow deep lift penetration.
