SAKAI CV550D STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The Sakai CV550D is a track-driven vibratory soil compactor in the smooth drum roller category, engineered for high-performance compaction on challenging terrain, including steep slopes up to 62% (32 degrees) without requiring a winching dozer. It is powered by a 169 hp (126 kW) Isuzu BB-6BG1T water-cooled, turbocharged diesel engine, delivering strong, reliable power with low noise and fuel consumption. The machine features an 84 in (2,130 mm) wide smooth drum that provides a rolling/operating width of 84 in, ideal for non-cohesive and granular soils. Vibration is adjustable with a frequency range of 1,800–2,400 vpm (30–40 Hz) and dual amplitude settings (Low/High) to match varying soil conditions and density requirements. Centrifugal force ranges from 38,580 lbs (172 kN) to 50,710 lbs (226 kN), generating high compaction effort for rapid, uniform results. The CV550D has an operating weight of 30,210 lbs (13,700 kg), with a drum module (front) weight of 14,110 lbs (6,400 kg) and rear load of 7,300 lbs, ensuring excellent ground contact and stability. Key dimensions include an overall length of 248 in (6,290 mm), width of 110 in (2,800 mm), and height of 121 in (3,070 mm) with ROPS. It offers two travel speeds (0–1.9 mph and 0–3.3 mph) and a minimum inside turning radius of 160 in, providing excellent maneuverability in confined areas.
