BOMAG BW 5A S (4-6TON) STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The BOMAG BW 5A S (4-6 ton) static smooth drum roller is engineered for efficient soil compaction with strong performance and reliable operation. It features front and rear smooth drums with diameters of approximately 2.9 ft and 4 ft respectively, providing effective surface coverage and compaction quality. With a ground clearance of 1.3 ft and an overall width of 7.1 ft, this roller offers good manoeuvrability on construction sites. Its robust A2300 engine delivers 47 hp (35 kW) at 2600 rpm, powered by a 4-cylinder configuration, ensuring sufficient power for medium-duty compaction tasks. The roller operates at a maximum speed of 11 mph (18 kph) and holds a fuel capacity of 17 gallons, supplemented by 100.2 gallons of spray water to assist in dust control and surface compaction uniformity. The hydraulic system supports smooth operation with a 15.1-gallon fluid capacity, and the machine functions on a 12-volt electrical system. Weighing up to 13,047 lbs with maximum ballast, it achieves high static linear loads of 191 pounds/inch on the drive drum and 126 pounds/inch on the guide drum, contributing to effective soil density. Safety and operator comfort are maintained with a roll-over protection system (ROPS/FOPS) standing at 8.1 ft, and a compact yet functional design featuring a 9 ft wheelbase and overall length suited for various terrain conditions. The BW 5A S excels in providing consistent compaction for road building and earthworks in the 4-6 ton machine category, backed by BOMAG's reputation for reliability and ease of maintenance.
