BOMAG BW 177 PDH-40 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The BOMAG BW 177 PDH-40 is a robust static smooth drum roller designed for efficient soil compaction. It features a 66.4-inch wide by 47.6-inch diameter drum with 104 pads, each 3.2 inches high and covering 15.3 cubic inches, delivering a high centrifugal force of 26,977 lbs at a vibratory frequency of 30 to 40 vibrations per minute and nominal amplitude of 0.1 inches. The roller is powered by a 110 hp four-cylinder Cummins QSB3.3 diesel engine running at 2400 rpm, supported by a 39.7-gallon fuel capacity. It has an operating weight of 16,115 lbs, which together with hydrostatic travel and vibration drives, ensures optimal compaction on various surfaces. The machine’s dimensions include a ground clearance of 14.8 inches, overall length of 16.2 feet, width over tires of 6.2 feet, and height to the top of the cab at 9.4 feet. It operates at a maximum speed of 8.1 mph and uses 14.9-24/6PR tires for stability. The BW 177 PDH-40 incorporates an articulated steering system with a bolt-on oscillating articulation joint for maneuverability and traction control features like an Anti-Slip Control system and no-spin differential. Hydraulic spring-applied, hydraulically released brakes provide safe stopping. Designed for versatility, it supports dual amplitude and frequency vibration settings to adapt to different compaction needs. The operator platform is vibration-isolated for comfort and includes adjustable seating and safety features such as audible warnings and a ROPS/FOPS cab with seatbelt. Optional attachments include a leveling blade and lighting systems. This model balances power, precision, and durability for demanding compaction tasks in road construction and site preparation.
