The BOMAG BW 135 AD-5 is a compact tandem vibratory smooth drum roller designed for asphalt and soil compaction on small to medium construction projects. It features front and rear smooth drums, each 3 ft in diameter and 51.2 in wide, delivering a high centrifugal force of 10,791 lbs and a nominal amplitude of 0.1 in for effective compaction. The roller operates at vibration frequencies between 47 and 58 vibrations per minute, enabling efficient density achievement on various materials. Powered by a 45.1 hp (34 kW) water-cooled Kubota V2403 4-cylinder diesel engine operating at 2400 rpm, it provides reliable power and hydrostatic drive for smooth operation. The hydrostatic steering and oscillatory articulation system ensure excellent maneuverability with an inside turning radius of 104.9 in and a wheelbase of 74.8 in. Hydraulic service brakes and a Hydromec parking brake provide secure stopping power. Weighing approximately 8,488 lbs with a static linear load of 82.9 lbs/in, the BW 135 AD-5 balances weight and compactness for optimal compaction performance and site accessibility. Its dimensions include 111.8 in length, 4.6 ft width, 6.3 ft height to the top of the cab, and 13.4 in ground clearance. With an 81.9-gallon fuel capacity and a maximum travel speed of 6.2 mph, it is suitable for continuous operation. Additional features include maintenance-reducing components, pressure sprinkler system for drum wetting, and a spacious operator platform for comfort and control, making the BW 135 AD-5 a versatile, efficient roller for asphalt finishing, footpaths, and landscaping tasks.
