JCB VM132D STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The JCB VM132D is a high-performance vibratory smooth drum roller designed for effective soil and asphalt compaction. It features a robust 82.7-inch (2100 mm) wide smooth drum with a diameter of 59.1 inches (1500 mm), delivering a static linear load of 194.9 pounds per inch and a high centrifigual force of 39,117 lbs. The drum operates at dual vibration frequencies of 29 and 36 vpm, with a nominal amplitude of 0.1 inch in the high setting, providing efficient compaction down to depths of up to 100 cm depending on application. Powered by a turbocharged 6-cylinder B5.9-150 C diesel engine with 359 cu in displacement and 150 hp output at 2200 rpm, it ensures reliable power and fuel efficiency. The machine supports a maximum speed of 7.9 mph (11 kph) and operates on 12 volts with a 95 amp alternator. Its structural dimensions include a ground clearance of 17.6 inches, overall width of 7.5 feet, height to the top of the cab at 9.7 feet, and a wheelbase of 9.9 feet. The operating weight is approximately 28,660 lbs, balanced for optimal compaction and maneuverability. The roller rides on 23.1-26/8 PR AWT tires, ensuring stability and traction. Hydraulic and cooling systems have fluid capacities of 21.2 and 5.1 gallons respectively, with an engine oil capacity of 3.8 gallons, supporting durable and extended operation. The VM132D incorporates hydrostatic direct drive with a self-locking differential for excellent traction control and articulated steering with vertical oscillation for superior handling on uneven surfaces.
