Key Specs
The CB2.9 is a 2.9 to 3 metric ton compactor with 1300 mm (51 in) drums. It's a versatile machine that can be used as the only vibratory roller on small sized jobs or on larger jobs as a support roller for high-production rollers. Its high amplitude and drum width give it the capacity to achieve a tons-per-day production rate that make it an excellent match for shoulders, small parking lots, lane additions, or other similar sized jobs.
