JCB VM146D STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The JCB VM146D is a heavy-duty smooth drum roller designed for effective compaction in construction and roadbuilding applications. It features a large 59.1-inch diameter and 82.7-inch width steel drum that delivers a high centrifugal force of 43,163 lbs at a vibration frequency range of 29 to 35 vpm, with a nominal amplitude of 0.1 inch, optimizing soil compaction and surface leveling. The machine operates at a maximum speed of 7.1 mph and weighs 31,967 lbs, ensuring stability and efficient compaction force through its static linear load of 213.4 pounds per inch of drum width. Powered by a robust turbocharged Cummins B5.9-173C six-cylinder engine with 359 cu in displacement, it produces 173 hp at 2200 rpm, providing reliable performance under demanding conditions. The roller operates on 12 volts electrical systems, with a 95-amp alternator supplying sufficient power for all onboard functions. Fluid capacities include 105.7 gallons fuel, 5.1 gallons cooling system, 3.9 gallons engine oil, and 21.2 gallons hydraulic system fluid, supporting prolonged operation with minimal downtime. Its dimensions include a ground clearance of 17.6 inches, overall width of 7.5 feet, length of 18.8 ft, and a cab height of 9.7 ft. Equipped with 23.1-26/8 PR AWT tires, the VM146D ensures maneuverability and traction. This model is engineered for consistency, durability, and ease of serviceability in compacting large surface areas effectively.
