BOMAG BW 145 PDH-3 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The BOMAG BW 145 PDH-3 is a static smooth drum roller designed for efficient soil compaction on a variety of surfaces including granular and cohesive soils. It features a front drum diameter of 41.7 inches and a width of 56.2 inches, providing a substantial compaction surface. The roller operates with a nominal medium amplitude of 0.1 inches and a vibration frequency of 34 vpm, ensuring consistent compaction performance. Powered by a 4-cylinder Deutz BF4L 2011 diesel engine delivering 75 hp at 2650 rpm, the machine balances strong power with fuel efficiency supported by a 29.1-gallon fuel capacity. This hydrostatically driven compactor has a maximum speed of 6.3 mph, suitable for controlled site maneuvering. Structurally, it measures 9.1 feet tall to the top of the cab and 13.8 feet in overall length, with a wheelbase of 7.3 feet and ground clearance of 12.4 inches. The operating weight is approximately 11,750 lbs, providing the necessary mass to achieve high linear load and deep compaction effects. The front drum and rear tires (335/80R20) work in tandem for traction and stability, with the drum supported by an oscillating articulation joint for reliable operation in varied terrains. The roller includes hydrostatically released spring-applied brakes for safety on inclines and integrates vibration-isolated operator platforms for comfort. Its robust design, combined with efficient braking and vibration systems, makes the BW 145 PDH-3 a versatile choice for medium-duty soil compaction tasks in road construction and earthworks.
