BOMAG BW 177 DH-50 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The BOMAG BW 177 DH-50 is a robust static smooth drum roller designed for efficient compaction of granular and mixed soils. Powered by a Tier 4i Cummins B3.3T diesel engine delivering 74 hp at 2600 rpm, it provides reliable performance with a hydrostatic service brake system and a SAHR parking brake. Its smooth drum measures 48.3 inches in diameter and produces a high centrifugal force of 27,000 lbs with vibration frequencies selectable at 30 or 40 vibrations per minute, and a nominal amplitude of 0.1 inches, facilitating effective soil compaction. The roller features precise maneuverability with a 6 ft operating width, an overall length of 193.4 inches, and an inside turning radius of 123.1 inches. Hydrostatic steering combined with a 12-degree oscillating angle and 35-degree steering angle allows for smooth articulation and excellent control on various terrains. Its ground clearance is 14.7 inches and the machine stands 9.4 feet tall to the top of the cab. With an operating weight of approximately 15,640 lbs and fuel capacity of 39.5 gallons, it offers a maximum speed of 8 mph. The roller rides on 14.9-24 tires rated 6PR, balancing traction and smooth operation. The high static linear load of 136.1 pounds per inch ensures deep compaction effectiveness. The BW 177 DH-50’s combination of power, compaction force, and maneuverability make it suitable for road construction, site preparation, and embankment compaction where precise, high-quality soil consolidation is critical.
