Technical Description
The BOMAG BW 154 AD-5 is a heavy articulated tandem smooth drum roller designed for high‑productivity asphalt compaction in road, parking, and access road construction. It features a 59.1‑inch (1,500 mm) drum width and 43.3‑inch drum diameter, delivering a high centrifugal force of 10,116 lb with a nominal amplitude of 0.1 in and selectable vibration frequencies of 45 and 50 vpm for optimal density control. Powered by a Kubota V3307 CR‑T 4‑cylinder water‑cooled diesel engine, it produces 74.3 hp (55 kW) at 2,400 rpm, meeting Tier 3b/4 emissions standards. The roller has an operating weight of 18,298 lb (8,300 kg), with a front axle load of 9,370 lb and rear axle load of 8,929 lb, and a gross weight of 21,826 lb (9,900 kg). It is equipped with hydrostatic steering and a hydrostatic service brake plus multi‑disc parking brake for safe, responsive control. The machine measures 173.2 in long, 5.5 ft wide, and 9.9 ft high to the cab top, with a 129.9 in wheelbase and 9.8 in ground clearance. A large 158.5‑gal water spray tank ensures consistent drum wetting to prevent asphalt adhesion. The BW 154 AD‑5 combines BOMAG’s ECOMODE fuel‑saving technology, EasyService ground‑level maintenance access, and optional BOMAP compaction monitoring for efficient, reliable, and well‑documented asphalt rolling operations.
