MULTIQUIP MDR-9DYE STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The Multiquip MDR-9DYE is a compact, walk-behind smooth drum roller designed for efficient asphalt and granular soil compaction. It features a 28-inch steel drum with a vibration frequency of 3,000 vibrations per minute (vpm), applying an impact force of 9,600 lbs for thorough soil particle compaction. The roller’s operating width is 32 inches, slightly wider than the drum, allowing effective coverage for narrow to medium-width surfaces. Powered by a Yanmar L100 diesel engine delivering 10.0 horsepower, this air-cooled, single-cylinder engine offers reliable, fuel-efficient performance with both electric and recoil start options. The machine weighs 2,094 lbs and features a hydrostatic drive system enabling precise control and smooth operation with travel speeds up to 1.8 feet per minute. An integrated 6-gallon water tank supplies the drum sprinkler system to minimize asphalt sticking during operation. Operator safety and convenience are enhanced by dual-lever controls, a deadman safety device that stops the machine immediately if released, and a foldable handle for transport and storage. Additional features include four rubber shock mounts to reduce vibration transmission to the engine and hydraulics, front-mounted auxiliary travel lever, scraper bars to prevent material buildup on the drum, and convenient tie-down points for secure transport. The MDR-9DYE is engineered for durability and ease of use in a variety of compaction applications, making it well-suited for small to medium paving projects and ground preparation tasks.
