Waterproof Balourds The B series uses the proven Cat sealed balourd housing vibration system. The circuit design significantly reduces the risk of contamination, which is common in conventional designs that use metal counterweights. Offering unmatched reliability and performance, the Cat sealed balourd housing vibration system requires virtually no maintenance, with the first maintenance period set at 3 years or 3,000 hours. Increased Amplitude The B series vibrating soil compactors offer improved compaction performance due to increased amplitude. The maximum amplitude is now one of the highest in the industry, providing superior soil compaction energy transfer capacity. Automatic Vibration A new automatic vibration function is available. If vibration is engaged, it stops when the compactor speed drops below a predetermined value. When the translation resumes, the vibration restarts at a predetermined speed. This feature contributes to high-quality and consistent work. Vibrating Soil Compactor Smooth drums are perfectly suited for compacting granular materials and can be equipped with an optional padfoot kit for compacting cohesive or semi-cohesive soil. Universal Bumper The universal bumper allows for adding weight to the drum while facilitating the installation of the optional padfoot kit.
