BOMAG BW 124 PD STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The BOMAG BW 124 PD is a compact, powerful smooth drum roller designed for versatile soil compaction tasks, particularly on strongly cohesive soils with high water content. It features a 47.2-inch wide smooth drum with a diameter of 37.8 inches, providing an operating width of 55 inches and a static linear load of approximately 74.5 lb/in. The roller employs a high-frequency vibration system at 2480 vibrations per minute, supported by a powerful exciter for optimal compaction efficiency. Powered by a reliable Deutz diesel engine delivering around 45.6 hp, the BW 124 PD achieves a maximum speed of 5.6 mph and excellent gradeability of up to 55%, facilitated by a dual hydraulic pump drive and an effective limited-slip differential. The machine's hydrostatic travel and vibration drives ensure precise control, while the articulated center joint enhances maneuverability with an inside turning radius of 120.1 inches. Safety and operator comfort are prioritized through a 4-post ROPS/FOPS system, vibration-isolated platform, ergonomic controls, and excellent all-round visibility. Its fuel capacity of 15.9 gallons supports extended operation. The BW 124 PD combines durable construction with easy maintenance, featuring a maintenance-free articulated joint, accessible service points, and robust structural components like lashing rings for transport convenience. Designed to fulfill Tier 4 final emissions standards with an efficient ECOMODE system, it offers fuel savings and reduced wear. This roller is ideal for light to medium compaction work in urban construction sites, trenches, and backfills, delivering reliable performance with minimal downtime and operational cost.
