KOMATSU JV16-1 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

The Komatsu JV16-1 is a compact static smooth drum roller designed for efficient soil compaction. It features a drum with a diameter of 19.7 inches and a width of 31.5 inches, delivering a centrifugal force of 3,530 lbs at medium vibration frequency (55 vpm). The drum exerts a static linear load of 135.2 pounds per inch, ideal for smooth compaction tasks. Powered by a Mitsubishi C NM10-31HM engine with a displacement of 35.2 cubic inches, it generates 8.5 hp (6 kW), supporting a maximum speed of 2.5 mph (3 km/h). The roller has a ground clearance of 6.5 inches, an overall length of 6.6 feet, a wheelbase of 3 feet, and a cab height of 4.6 feet. It has an operating weight of approximately 2,800 lbs. Fuel and engine oil capacities are 2.3 and 0.7 gallons respectively. This model is suited for compact construction environments requiring precise, smooth compaction with reliable power output and manageable size for maneuverability in tighter spaces. Its specifications support effective soil density improvement for road building, landscaping, and similar projects where smooth surface finish is essential. The JV16-1 balances power, weight, and drum size for efficient utility in smaller-scale compaction operations.
