BOMAG BW 177 DH-40 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The BOMAG BW 177 DH-40 is a static smooth drum vibratory soil compactor designed for efficient and versatile compaction of cohesive and granular soils. It features a 66.4-inch wide smooth drum with a 48.4-inch diameter, delivering a static linear load of 136.7 lb/in and a maximum centrifugal force of 26,977.1 lb. The roller offers dual vibration frequencies of 1,800 vpm (30 Hz) and 2,400 vpm (40 Hz) with a nominal amplitude of 0.1 in, enabling optimized compaction across various soil types and lift thicknesses. Power is supplied by a Cummins QSB3.3 four-cylinder diesel engine producing 110 hp (82 kW) at 2,400 rpm, ensuring strong performance and reliability in demanding applications. The machine has an operating weight of 15,640 lb and a maximum travel speed of 8.1 mph (13 km/h), supported by a hydrostatic drive system for excellent traction and gradeability. With an inside turning radius of 123.1 in and an 8.3 ft wheelbase, the BW 177 DH-40 provides good maneuverability on job sites. Standard features include a 12-volt electrical system, 39.7-gallon fuel tank, and 14.9-24/6PR tires, making it suitable for a wide range of earthwork and infrastructure projects requiring high-quality, uniform compaction.
