The new CB22B, CB24B,
CB24B XT, CB32B, CB34B, CB34B XW,
CC24B and CC34B compete in the 1.8 tonne
to 5 tonne size classes and are designed for
the rental market. Suitable for jobs including
compacting smaller areas such as streets,
bike paths and parking lots, the machines
also boast improved visibility and lower fuel
consumption.
The new compactors are equipped with
Caterpillar’s C1.5 and C2.2 engines. The
manufacturer said the engines met emissions
equivalent to EU Stage IIIA emission standards
(EU Stage IIIB emissions standards do not
apply to these power ratings classes).
An eco-mode can be activated for reduced
fuel consumption and lower sound levels.
In addition, the water spray systems have a
large capacity and provide up to 10 hours of
operation without refilling.

market, Wirtgen has developed a new
Wirtgen has developed a new generation of
point-attack cutting tools and a HT22 quick-

This Sangwin-owned Bobcat S550H will be
used for repairing potholes, surface cracks
and ice damage, as well as for milling
surfaces and for work around manholes
Paul Johnson, Volvo CE Road Machinery
product manager for sales region Europe,
Middle East and Africa, said, “The pioneering
new Volvo SD soil compactors put
performance and operator comfort at the
heart of the process, with shock absorbing cab
mounts and highly effective sound-insulation
throughout the Volvo cab ensuring new levels
of well-being.
“Vibration is essential for efficient material
compaction, so distancing and protecting the
operator from this represents a significant
step.”
All Stage IIIB emission compliant and fitted
with the new turbocharged 4-cylinder Volvo
D4 diesel engine producing between 75 and
110kW, the new models are said to offer more

power, greater efficiency and up to a 30%
reduction in fuel consumption over previous
models.
Across all three SD compactors, high and
low amplitude and frequency is available
as standard, while a five-frequency selector
is available as an option for even greater
optimisation when matching drum frequency
to material type. Furthermore, diagnostic
systems provide real time data through the
new Volvo Contronic instrument panel.
SMART POWER
A Volvo Smart Power mode is also available
as an option on both the SD115 and SD135,
which is said to help reduce fuel consumption
without having any adverse effect of
compaction performance.
Meanwhile, Caterpillar’s new B-Series line of
utility compactors feature multiple frequency
