BOMAG BW 5A S STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The BOMAG BW 5A S is a static smooth drum roller designed for efficient compaction of granular soils and surface finishing. It features a front drum diameter of 2.9 ft and a larger rear drum diameter of 4 ft, providing effective load distribution across a 42-inch drum width with an operating width of 52 inches. Powered by a 4-cylinder A2300 engine delivering 47 hp at 2600 rpm, this roller combines sufficient power with fuel efficiency, supported by a 17-gallon fuel tank and a 4.8-gallon cooling system capacity. Its hydraulic system holds 15.1 gallons of fluid to ensure smooth operation. The machine reaches a maximum speed of 11 mph and runs on a 12-volt electrical system. The BW 5A S roller has an operating weight of 9,380 lbs in standard configuration, extensible to 12,080 lbs with maximum ballast, allowing for a maximum static linear load of 171 pounds per inch on the drive drum and 122 pounds per inch on the guide drum, enabling deep, effective compaction. The machine’s dimensions include a ground clearance of 1.3 ft, overall height of 5.3 ft (8.1 ft to the top of ROPS/FOPS), overall width of 7.1 ft, and a wheelbase of 9 ft, providing both stability and maneuverability on diverse sites. A large 100.2-gallon spray water capacity supports dust control during operation. The design supports durability and ease of maintenance, making it suitable for small to medium earthworks and road construction projects requiring reliable soil compaction.
