BOMAG BW 177 PDH-50 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The BOMAG BW 177 PDH-50 is a robust single drum padfoot roller designed for effective compaction of strongly cohesive soils with high water content. It features a 48.3-inch diameter padfoot drum equipped with 104 pads of 3.1 inches height, delivering a high centrifugal force of 27,000 lbs and a nominal amplitude of 0.1 inch at vibration frequencies of 30 and 40 vpm. The static linear load is 136.1 pounds per inch, ensuring deep and consistent soil compaction. Powered by a Tier 4i Cummins B3.3T diesel engine producing 74 hp at 2600 rpm, the roller supports hydrostatic service braking and SAHR parking brake systems. Key dimensions include a ground clearance of 14.7 inches, operating width of 6 ft, overall length of 193.4 inches, and turning radius of 123.1 inches, facilitating versatile maneuverability. The operating weight is 16,115 lbs with a max speed of 8 mph. Steering is hydrostatic with 12° oscillation and 35° steering angle, aided by oscillatory articulation for improved stability on uneven terrain. The roller runs on 14.9-24/6PR tires and operates on 12 volts. Fuel capacity is 39.5 gallons, providing extended operational periods. Its design optimizes compaction efficiency in challenging soil conditions while maintaining operator control and safety through advanced braking, steering, and vibration systems, making it suitable for medium to heavy earthwork applications requiring precise and powerful soil compaction.
