JCB VMT480 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The JCB VMT480 is a heavy-duty static smooth drum roller designed for efficient soil and asphalt compaction. It features a 31.5-inch diameter drum with a 51.2-inch width, delivering a high centrifugal force of 6,969 lbs to ensure effective compaction. The drum’s nominal amplitude at high setting is 0.1 inches, with vibration frequencies of 50 and 55 vpm, supporting smooth and uniform surface finishing. The roller weighs 10,516 lbs, offering significant static linear load of 102 pounds per inch, which enhances compaction density. Powered by a four-cylinder V2203 engine with a 134 cubic inch displacement, the VMT480 provides 46.6 hp at 2,800 rpm, ensuring reliable power output for varied compaction tasks. The machine's fuel tank holds 20.1 gallons, and the hydraulic system fluid capacity is 15.9 gallons, supporting extended operation with fewer refills. It operates at 12 volts and includes a 45-amp alternator. Dimensionally, the roller has a ground clearance of 12.1 inches, a wheelbase of 6.7 feet, and a top cab height of 8.4 feet, optimizing stability and operator visibility while navigating construction sites. The overall length measures 9.3 feet, and the maximum speed is 6.8 mph (10 kph), providing a balance between maneuverability and operational efficiency. The VMT480 is engineered for durability and dependable performance in road construction and compaction applications where smooth, consistent results are critical.
