Features

Comfortable and Ergonomic Operator Station

  • The steering console features an LCD display. The display provides diagnostics and additional data to the operator. Machines that are equipped with Cat Compaction Control output compaction measurements to the display as well.
  • A multi-position steering wheel adjusts for comfort. An adjustable vinyl seat with seat belt is comfortable and keeps controls and operating information within easy reach. The 12-volt adapter provides power for personal electronic devices. A floor mat reduces vibrations. Cup holders are provided on the steering column. Large mirrors provide excellent views to the rear of the machine.
  • The operator is provided with excellent visibility to the front, drum edges rear tire edges and rear of machine enhancing safety and production. Optional mirrors provide enhanced visibility to the rear.

Easy to Service

  • Design provides ground level access to all service and maintenance points.
  • Long service intervals contribute to more productivity and lower owning and operating costs. The vibratory system scheduled oil change interval is 3 years/3,000 hours. The hydraulic oil service interval is 3,000 hours. Engine oil service is every 500 hours.

Power Train

  • The Vibratory Soil Compactor features a Cat engine that offers enhanced efficiency, better serviceability, ample power, and less noise.

Reliable Vibratory System

  • The vibratory soil compactors deliver excellent compaction performance due to high amplitude and static linear load.
  • The vibratory soil compactor 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.
  • An automatic vibration function provides consistency for more uniform compaction. 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.
Sales Features

Vibratory System

The pod-style vibratory system delivers superior compactive force while offering serviceability advantages.

Proprietary Eccentric Weights

Reliable dual amplitude selection and innovative design of the proprietary eccentric weights ensures precise performance.

Cat® C3.4B Engine

Dual Pump Propel System

The dual pump propel system offers high tractive effort and gradeability for outstanding productivity and machine control in demanding environments.

Gradeability and Machine Control

The exclusive dual pump propel system provides superior performance, machine control and excellent grade climbing capability.

Open Platform with ROPS/FOPS Canopy

The platform of the CS44 is equipped with a ROPS/FOPS canopy and is enclosed by handrails and features foot rests for sure footing and support when working on a grade.

Operator’s Station

The operator's station is ergonomically designed for maximum operator productivity while offering excellent visibility and unmatched comfort.

ROPS/FOPS Cab

The ROPS/FOPS Cab is spacious and comfortable, with large windows and remarkable visibility. Available air conditioning provides remarkable comfort. Excellent ergonomics and low sound levels keep the operator alert and in control.

Universal Bumper

The universal bumper facilitates easy installation or removal of the optional padfoot shell kit or optional leveling blade.

Padfoot Shell Kit (Optional)

An optional padfoot shell kit expands the application range of the CS44B to work in either cohesive or semi-cohesive material.

Leveling Blade (Optional)

The Leveling Blade option, increases machine versatility and utilization, plus greatly enhances productivity.

Cat Compaction Control - CMV (Optional)

Cat Compaction Control enhances jobsite efficiency and compaction quality. Available with Compaction Meter Value (CMV) compaction measurement technology, an accelerometer mounted to the vibrating drum measures the ground response to drum vibrations providing indications of soil stiffness. The operator can monitor these values to determine when compaction is nearing specification, allowing them to call the testing crew and move on to the next job.

Serviceability

The CS44B Soil Compactor provides exceptional reliability and serviceability that you've come to expect from Caterpillar.
