The Sakai CR270 is a versatile static smooth drum roller designed for medium-duty compaction tasks, delivering a combination of power, precision, and maneuverability. It features a 35.5-inch wide smooth drum with a diameter of 22.1 inches, generating a centrifugal force of approximately 2,968 lbs for effective soil and asphalt compaction. The drum vibrates at a frequency of 66.7 vibrations per minute, optimizing compaction efficiency. Powered by a reliable 17.8 hp (13 kW) Honda GX-610 water-cooled gasoline engine with a displacement of 37.5 cubic inches, the CR270 balances strong performance with fuel efficiency. It holds 8 gallons each of fuel and hydraulic fluid, facilitating extended operation in the field. The roller measures 7.5 feet in height, 3.4 feet in width, and approximately 6.3 feet in length, with a tight inside turning radius of 6.2 feet, enabling excellent maneuverability in confined or complex job sites. Weighing 2,910 lbs, it offers sufficient weight to ensure thorough compaction without sacrificing agility. The design includes articulated center-pivot steering and a hydrostatic transmission for smooth, controllable operation. This compact yet powerful roller is ideal for a range of surface compaction applications, including asphalt paving, road maintenance, and landscaping projects where efficient, reliable compaction is essential. Its Japanese engineering heritage underscores durability, ease of use, and long-term dependability, making it a preferred choice among contractors seeking balanced compaction capabilities in a compact footprint.
