JCB VM132PD STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The JCB VM132PD is a heavy-duty smooth drum roller designed for efficient soil compaction in construction and roadwork applications. It features a large 82.7-inch wide smooth drum with a diameter of 59.1 inches equipped with 132 pads, each 4 inches in height, delivering a high centrifugal force of 42,264 lbs for maximum compaction impact. Vibratory frequencies operate at 29 and 36 vpm with a nominal amplitude of 0.1 inches, optimizing soil consolidation. Powered by a turbocharged 6-cylinder Cummins B5.9-150C diesel engine with 359 cu in displacement, the machine produces 150 hp at 2200 rpm, ensuring robust performance and reliable power delivery. The hydrostatic direct drive system allows infinitely variable speeds, achieving a max travel speed of 7.9 mph. Hydraulic fluid capacity is 21.2 gallons, and the machine weighs approximately 29,542 lbs, providing significant ground pressure for compaction. It rides on 23.1-26/12 tractor tread tires with a wheelbase of 9.9 feet and ground clearance of 17.6 inches, allowing operation on varied terrains. The operator cabin stands 9.7 feet tall, offering ergonomic and comfortable control with excellent 360° visibility. Key service capacities include a 105.7-gallon fuel tank, 3.8 gallons engine oil, and a 5.1-gallon cooling system. Electrical equipment runs on a 12-volt system with a 95-amp alternator. The VM132PD’s combination of powerful engine, effective vibratory system, and durable construction makes it highly suitable for heavy compaction tasks requiring smooth, uniform surface finishes.
