JCB VM46D STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The JCB VM46D is a self-propelled static smooth drum roller designed for efficient soil and asphalt compaction in construction and civil engineering applications. It features a single smooth steel drum with a diameter of 39.4 in (1000 mm) and a width of 55.2 in (1400 mm), delivering a static linear load of 88 lb/in and a high centrifugal force of 22,841 lbf (101.6 kN) at a vibration frequency of 32 Hz and a nominal amplitude of 0.1 in (2.5 mm), enabling deep compaction up to approximately 65 cm (26 in). The machine is powered by a 4-cylinder, water-cooled, four-stroke Cummins B 3.3 diesel engine with a displacement of 199 cu in (3.3 L), producing 60 hp (45 kW) at 2200 rpm, coupled with an infinitely variable hydrostatic direct drive system for smooth, stepless speed control. Maximum working speed reaches 5.8 km/h (3.6 mph), with a travel speed of up to 12.7 km/h (7.9 mph). The VM46D has an operating weight of 10,141 lb (4600 kg), a wheelbase of 2200 mm (86.6 in), an overall length of 4375 mm (14.4 ft), and a ground clearance of 335 mm (13.2 in), ensuring good maneuverability and stability on site. It is equipped with 12.00R20 XZL tires, a 12 V electrical system, and standard service capacities including 47.6 gal (180 L) fuel, 15.9 gal (60 L) hydraulic oil, 3.7 gal (14 L) coolant, and 2.2 gal (8 L) engine oil.
