JCB VMT500K STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The JCB VMT500K is a static smooth drum roller engineered for effective compaction in road construction and asphalt applications. It features a front drum diameter of 31.5 inches and a drum width of 55.2 inches, delivering a static linear load of 80 pounds per inch to ensure uniform ground pressure. The roller offers two vibration frequencies, 50 and 55 vpm, with a nominal amplitude of 0.1 inches at both high and low settings, producing a high centrifugal force of 12,814 lbs for enhanced compaction efficiency. Powered by a reliable four-cylinder V2203 engine with a displacement of 134 cu in, it produces a gross power of 46.6 hp at 2800 rpm, supported by a 45-amp alternator and 12-volt operating voltage. The machine’s fuel tank capacity is 20.1 gallons, with 2.6 gallons of engine oil and 13.3 gallons of hydraulic fluid capacity, suited for extended operation cycles. Dimensions include an overall width of 4.2 feet, height to the top of the cab at 8.4 feet, ground clearance of 12.1 inches, and an operating weight of 9,645 lbs. The roller achieves a maximum speed of 6.8 mph and rolls on smooth 8.25 R15 tires. The JCB VMT500K combines durability and performance, ensuring reliable, consistent compaction across various job sites with easy maneuverability and serviceability. This robustness makes it ideal for contractors requiring efficient asphalt and soil compaction with a proven manufacturer's technology.
