BOMAG BW 177 D-40 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The BOMAG BW 177 D-40 is a high-performance smooth drum roller designed for efficient soil compaction in road construction and earthworks. Powered by a Cummins B3.3 four-cylinder diesel engine producing 80 hp at 2200 rpm, it delivers robust power and reliability. The roller features a static linear load of 136.1 pounds per inch over a 66.4-inch-wide, 48.4-inch-diameter drum, providing uniform compaction force. It operates with dual vibration frequencies ranging from 1800 to 2400 vibrations per minute (30 to 40 Hz) and a medium nominal amplitude of 0.1 inches, allowing for versatile compaction on granular and mixed soils. The hydrostatically driven drum and articulated steering system ensure precise maneuverability and control, with a tight turning radius of 123.1 inches and an overall machine length of 16.2 feet. The machine’s ground clearance is 14.8 inches and it has a cab height of 9.4 feet for operator comfort and visibility. With a fuel capacity of 39.7 gallons, it sustains long operation cycles, and its maximum travel speed is 6.9 mph. The BW 177 D-40 weighs 15,355 pounds and runs on durable 14.9-24, 6-ply tires. Additional features include vibration isolation for operator comfort, an articulated joint lock, and easy maintenance access via a vertically opening hood. This combination of powerful engine performance, efficient vibration system, and operator ergonomic design makes the BW 177 D-40 an effective and versatile compaction solution for demanding construction projects.
