BOMAG BW 124 PDH-3 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

The BOMAG BW 124 PDH-3 is a single drum vibratory smooth drum roller designed for medium-duty soil compaction tasks such as road construction, trenches, and backfill operations. It features a 47.3-inch wide smooth steel drum with a diameter of 35.1 inches, providing an effective compaction width of approximately 51.6 inches. The drum is equipped with 70 pads, each 2.2 inches high, delivering a dual-frequency vibration system operating at 41 vibrations per minute and 2460 vibrations per minute for both high and low amplitude of 0.1 inches nominal amplitude. The centrifugal force reaches up to 19,108.8 lbs on high, ensuring deep soil compaction. Powering the roller is a Deutz F3L2011 diesel engine with 3 cylinders, producing 49.7 gross horsepower (47 hp net) at 2800 rpm. The unit operates on a 12-volt electrical system and has a fuel capacity of 15.9 gallons, enabling extended operation on site. The BW 124 PDH-3 has an operating weight of approximately 7,385 lbs, contributing to its effective compaction force, while maintaining good maneuverability. Dimensionally, it has a ground clearance of 12.6 inches, an overall length of 12.8 feet with blade (11 feet without), a width of 4.7 feet, and a maximum speed of 5.6 mph. It rides on 9.5-24 tires, with a narrow 6-inch wheelbase and a width over tires of 4 feet, allowing for efficient stability and control. The combination of hydrostatic travel and vibration drives and articulated steering enables precise compaction on various soil types with reliable braking and safety features including ROPS/FOPS with seatbelt and emergency stop.
