JCB VMT500 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The JCB VMT500 is a static smooth drum roller engineered for effective soil and asphalt compaction. It features a powerful 4-cylinder V 2203 diesel engine with a displacement of 134 cubic inches delivering 46.6 hp at 2800 rpm, ensuring strong and reliable performance. The roller has an operating weight of 10,693 lbs and maximum travel speed of 6.8 mph (10 kph), with a 12-volt electrical system and a 45-amp alternator. Its dimensions include a height to the top of the cab of 8.4 ft, ground clearance of 12.1 inches, a wheelbase of 6.7 ft, and an overall length of 9.3 ft. The compaction drum measures 31.5 inches in diameter and 55.2 inches in width, delivering a high centrifugal force of approximately 7,419 lbs with a nominal vibration amplitude of 0.1 inches. It operates at vibration frequencies of 50 and 55 vibrations per minute, providing excellent static linear load at 97 pounds per inch, ideal for smooth compaction tasks. Hydraulic fluid capacity is 13.3 gallons, fuel capacity 20.1 gallons, and engine oil capacity 2.6 gallons, supporting extended working hours with minimal downtime. The VMT500's hydrostatic propulsion system with direct drum drive offers precise control and excellent maneuverability, making it suitable for various construction and roadwork applications where consistent and uniform compaction is required.
