Performance Advantages

• Diesel power you can trust: Diesel engines are favored in compaction equipment for their torque characteristics, fuel efficiency, and long service life when properly maintained. For contractors working multi-shift paving schedules or extended base preparation, the operating economy and reliability of diesel power are clear assets.
• 68" wide pneumatic roller configuration: The pneumatic tire setup provides a consistent kneading action across the mat, helping close surface voids and improve finish quality. On asphalt, this translates to better sealing and appearance; on base materials, it supports uniform density and a tighter surface.
• 68" compaction width for productivity and access: A 68-inch working width strikes an effective balance—wide enough for solid coverage and productivity, yet compact enough for urban streets, parking lots, and phased lane closures where maneuverability matters.
• Caterpillar build quality: The CW14 benefits from Caterpillar’s engineering and parts support network. Contractors gain peace of mind knowing parts availability, service resources, and familiar controls are part of the ownership experience.
• Operator-friendly design: The CW14 platform is known for predictable handling and stable compaction passes, supporting consistent results across varying site conditions common to roadwork and commercial paving.

Taken together, these attributes give this CW14 the steady, repeatable performance paving crews rely on—especially where surface finish and density targets are critical to job quality and long-term pavement life.

Ideal Applications

• Asphalt paving and overlays: Use the pneumatic tires to achieve a smooth, sealed finish, reduce surface permeability, and complement steel drum rollers in the compaction train.
• Parking lots and commercial sites: The 68-inch width and maneuverability suit tight layouts, islands, dock areas, and segmented paving phases common on commercial jobs.
• Municipal and residential streets: Reliable compaction and a manageable footprint make this roller a fit for city work, subdivisions, and shoulder work where access and control are key.
• Granular base and patchwork: Pneumatic action supports uniform density on base courses and provides efficient compaction for utility cuts, patches, and small-area repairs.
• Airfields and industrial facilities: Where smoothness and surface sealing matter, the CW14’s pneumatic compaction helps produce a durable finish.

Whether you are pairing this Caterpillar CW14 with a steel drum roller in a compaction train or using it as a standalone solution for smaller projects, it offers the flexibility to meet a wide range of jobsite demands.
