BOMAG BW 177 D-4 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The BOMAG BW 177 D-4 is a powerful static smooth drum roller designed for efficient soil and asphalt compaction on small to medium-sized construction sites. It features a 66.2-inch (1.68 m) wide smooth steel drum providing uniform compaction with a nominal amplitude of 0.1 inches at both high and low vibration settings. The roller operates at two vibration frequencies of 30 Hz and 40 Hz, optimizing soil consolidation and surface finish quality. Powered by a Deutz BF 4 M 2011 four-cylinder, 4-stroke diesel engine delivering 75.1 hp (56 kW), it offers robust performance while maintaining fuel efficiency with a 39.7-gallon fuel tank capacity. The machine’s operating weight is approximately 19,555 lbs (8,868 kg), balanced to provide effective compaction force without sacrificing maneuverability. The roller’s dimensions include an overall length of 16.2 ft, width of 6.1 ft, and a cab height of 9.4 ft, ensuring operator comfort and visibility. Hydrostatic articulated steering enhances maneuverability on varied terrain, while the robust drum structure withstands intensive use. Its vibration system uses a circular exciter mechanism for reliable compaction results. The BW 177 D-4’s combination of high operating weight, powerful engine, and vibration control makes it suitable for subgrade and base layer compaction in roadwork, landscaping, and other civil engineering projects requiring smooth, consistent compaction. Optional features and modernization options may include compaction measurement technologies and emission-reduction modes for environmentally conscious operation. This model aligns with BOMAG’s reputation for durable, efficient, and versatile compaction equipment.
