BOMAG BW 124 PDH-40 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The BOMAG BW 124 PDH-40 is a versatile static smooth drum roller designed for efficient soil compaction on various job sites. It features a 47.3-inch wide and 37.8-inch diameter steel drum equipped with 70 pad feet, each with a 2.2-inch height and 12.6 square inches surface area, providing a static linear load of 74.5 lb/in. The machine offers dual vibration frequencies at 41 and 40 Hz with a nominal amplitude of 0.1 inch for optimal compaction performance. Powered by a 44.3 hp Deutz D2011 L03i 3-cylinder diesel engine meeting Tier 3a/4i emissions standards, it delivers reliable power at 2500 rpm with air-oil cooling and diesel fuel. The roller supports a fuel capacity of 15.9 gallons and reaches a maximum speed of 5.6 mph, ensuring sustained operation and maneuverability. The hydrostatic steering system with oscillatory articulation provides precise control supported by a hydrostatic brake system and a Hydromec parking brake. Key dimensions include a ground clearance of 12.6 inches, overall length of 131.9 inches (12.8 feet with blade), height to top of cab at 8.2 feet, and an operating width of 4 feet. It features a robust blade width of 5 feet for surface leveling. Weighing 8,598 lbs gross and with an operating weight of approximately 7,386 lbs, the BW 124 PDH-40 delivers excellent gradeability up to 55%, making it suitable for cohesive soils with high water content. The unit incorporates dual hydraulic travel pumps, a limited-slip differential, and ROPS/FOPS safety features for operator protection and efficient site work. Its compact design and strong compaction capabilities support diverse construction and road building applications effectively.
