JCB VM117 D STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The JCB VM117 D is a static smooth drum roller engineered for efficient soil compaction with a robust operating weight of 29,321.5 lbs and a high-performing JCB 444/EcoMAX 4-cylinder engine delivering 125 hp at 2200 rpm and 405.7 lb-ft torque. Its single 59.1-inch diameter, 1-inch thick, 82.7-inch-wide smooth drum provides a static linear load of 65.1 lbs/in, optimized for uniform compaction on various surfaces. The machine’s hydraulic oil capacity is 19.9 gallons, with a 75.3-gallon fuel tank supporting extended operation. Designed for maneuverability and productivity, it features a 133.1-inch inside turning radius, 7.4-foot overall width, and 6.9 mph travel speed. The compact roller offers a ground clearance of 17.6 inches, front and rear departure angles of 46 and 32 degrees respectively, and a wheelbase of 115.4 inches. Its vibration system provides an amplitude of 0.1 inch and a powerful centrifugal force of 57,551 lbs to ensure efficient and deep compaction. Equipped with a water-cooled engine and a 12V electrical system supported by a 60-amp alternator and 120 Ah battery capacity, the VM117 D provides reliable performance and operational efficiency. The roller includes operator-friendly features such as ROPS/FOPS safety structures, making it suitable for demanding construction and road-building projects requiring consistent, high-quality compaction results. Overall, the JCB VM117 D combines power, durability, and precision for effective compaction in diverse soil conditions.
