BOMAG BW 266 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The BOMAG BW 266 Static Smooth Drum Roller is a high-performance compaction machine designed for efficient asphalt and soil compaction. It features a 66-inch wide, 48-inch diameter smooth drum capable of delivering centrifugal forces ranging from 27,562 lbs (low) to 32,912 lbs (high), with vibration frequencies adjustable between 3,400 and 3,800 vpm. The nominal amplitude for both high and low settings is 0.1 inches, providing effective compaction with a static linear load of 1009.9 pounds per inch. Powered by a Cummins 4B3.9 QSB-C130 engine producing 130.1 hp (97 kW), the BW 266 ensures strong performance combined with fuel efficiency, supported by a 50-gallon fuel tank and a 4.8-gallon cooling system fluid capacity. Its operating weight is 20,600 lbs, enabling firm and stable compaction, while a max travel speed of 10.1 mph allows for productive site coverage. The roller measures 16.7 feet in length, 6.5 feet in width, with 15-inch ground clearance and a turning radius of 13 feet, ensuring maneuverability on various job sites. The hydrostatic drive with low-speed, high-torque wheel motors on each drum allows excellent gradeability and smooth directional changes. Operator comfort and control are enhanced by features such as dual vibration amplitude settings, joystick controls, and a sliding/pivoting seat for superior visibility, enabling precise management of compaction patterns. The BW 266 combines robust construction, advanced vibration technology, and ease of operation for optimal productivity in road construction and heavy compaction tasks.
