JCB VM 137 D STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The JCB VM 137 D is a robust static smooth drum roller designed for efficient soil compaction, featuring a powerful JCB 448/EcoMAX 4-cylinder engine delivering 145 hp at 2200 rpm and 413.1 lb-ft torque. It complies with T4i Stage IIIb emissions standards and uses a water-cooled system with a 293 cu in displacement. The roller has a substantial operating weight of 32,077 lbs and includes a drum 59.1 inches in diameter, 82.7 inches wide, and 1.2 inches thick, providing a high static linear load of 75.7 lbs per inch. Its vibration system produces an amplitude of 0.1 inches and a centrifugal force of 63,396 lbs, helping achieve thorough compaction across varying ground conditions. The machine’s dimensions offer a 7.4 ft overall width, 7.4 ft height, 9.9 ft height to top of ROPS/FOPS, 224.1 in total travel length, and 115.4 in wheelbase, with ground clearance of 17.6 in and front and rear departure angles of 46° and 32°, respectively. It features a 75.3-gallon fuel tank, 3.7-gallon engine oil capacity, 2.2-gallon gear oil, and 19.9-gallon hydraulic oil tank. The electrical system includes a 60-amp alternator and a 120 Ah battery at 12 volts. The roller’s inside turning radius is 133.1 in, and its maximum travel speed is 6.9 mph, making it versatile and productive for compaction in various construction environments. The VM 137 D also includes hydrostatic drum and axle drives, limited slip differential, and vibration isolation for operator comfort and performance.
