Key Specs
The Cat® CS20 Vibratory Soil Compactor features a smooth drum and is ideally suited for granular soil applications or cohesive soil applications with the use of an optional padfoot shell kit. A reliable propel system improves performance and efficiency and compaction technology solutions help you reach target density faster.
Eco-Mode, no-maintenance hitch with sealed-for-life bearings and extended service intervals help keep your operating and maintenance costs low.
On-board compaction measurement technology indicates when specifications are met helping to eliminate guesswork, reduce unnecessary passes and minimize rework.
A rear vision camera enhances visibility around the machine and a pivoting seat with integrated controls and tiltable steering console provide an ergonomic work environment.

Leverage Caterpillar connected data and security principles to improve efficiencies, increase productivity and make your business more profitable.
Compaction Meter Value is an accelerometer-based system that provides an indication of material stiffness. The system is available on smooth drum vibratory soil compactors and tandem vibratory asphalt compactors. It measures only when the vibratory system is active, and provides a unitless value derived from the recorded data that indicates composite stiffness.
Cat Compact with Machine Drive Power (MDP) is an energy-based measurement system that correlates compaction with rolling resistance to provide an indication of soil stiffness. An optional mapping system helps operators visualize work as it occurs.
