BITELLI RG248 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The Bitelli RG248 is a smooth drum roller designed for efficient compaction in construction and roadwork applications. It features a naturally aspirated F6L 912 engine delivering 112 hp at 2500 rpm, providing reliable power for demanding jobs. The roller has a substantial operating weight ranging from 19,290.5 lbs in standard configuration up to 52,911 lbs with maximum ballast, ensuring effective ground compaction. Its water spray tank holds 277.4 gallons, crucial for keeping the drum wet to prevent material sticking during operation. Dimensionally, the RG248 has a ground clearance of 1 ft, an overall width of 7 ft, and a wheelbase of 11.5 ft, with a top height of 10.8 ft at the Roll-Over Protection Structure (ROPS) for operator safety. It comes equipped with eight tires—four front and four rear—standard sized 11.00x20, offering good stability and traction. The roller’s oscillation angle is 6 degrees, allowing for flexibility and adaptability on uneven surfaces. With a fuel capacity of 47.6 gallons and an operating voltage of 12 volts, the RG248 supports prolonged field operations and electrical system reliability. It achieves a maximum speed of 12.5 mph, balancing power and maneuverability. Wheel track/tire overlap measures 11.9 inches, with average wheel weights varying from 2,411.9 lbs standard to 6,613.9 lbs with ballast, optimizing compaction force delivery. Overall, the Bitelli RG248 provides a robust, heavy-duty solution for smooth drum rolling applications.
