MULTIQUIP AR16* STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The Multiquip AR16* static smooth drum roller is engineered for high-performance soil and asphalt compaction with a 35.4-inch wide steel drum capable of vibratory frequencies ranging from 2,922 to 4,020 vibrations per minute (vpm), enabling effective compaction adaptability. It features a compact overall width of 3.3 feet and an inside turning radius of 9.9 feet, providing excellent maneuverability in confined spaces. Powered by a water-cooled, naturally aspirated 3-cylinder Yanmar 3TVN76 diesel engine, this roller delivers reliable power with low emissions and efficient fuel economy. The Yanmar engine has a displacement of approximately 1.116 liters (68.1 cubic inches) and typically produces around 24.4 horsepower at 3,200 rpm, featuring indirect fuel injection and mechanical governor control to ensure smooth, consistent engine performance under load. The unit employs hydrostatic drive with infinitely variable speed control for precise forward and reverse operation, supporting smooth starts, stops, and consistent compaction. Additional design features include dual vibration with rear vibration cut-off for improved operational control, offset drums for enhanced clearance near curbs and walls, and a vibration-isolated operator platform to reduce operator fatigue. The roller is well suited for tasks requiring a balance of power, precision, and compactness in construction and paving applications, delivering high centrifugal force and frequency to achieve top-quality asphalt finishes consistently. With lockable instrument panels and engine covers, as well as robust build quality, the Multiquip AR16* represents a reliable, versatile solution for demanding compaction needs.
