SAKAI PDB43 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

The Sakai PDB43 Static Smooth Drum Roller is designed for soil and asphalt compaction with a 43-inch wide smooth drum delivering efficient surface leveling. It features an inside turning radius of 94 inches, enabling maneuverability in confined areas. The roller is powered by a John Deere 3029DF150 industrial diesel engine, offering a rated power of 48-58 hp at 2500 rpm and peak power between 50-58 hp at 2400-2500 rpm. This 2.9-liter, 3-cylinder engine displaces 177 cubic inches and has a dry weight of 699 lbs, ensuring reliable performance with high torque for consistent compaction force. The roller has an operating width of 57 inches and vibrates at a frequency of 35 vibrations per minute, optimizing soil and asphalt density by breaking down particle structure and settling material efficiently. The total machine weight with pad and blade attachment is approximately 6,771 lbs, providing substantial weight to enhance static compaction. This combination of power, compact dimensions, and high vibration frequency makes the Sakai PDB43 ideal for medium-scale paving and construction projects requiring precise, smooth compaction in limited spaces. Its engineering reflects durability and ease of operation consistent with Sakai’s reputation for reliable compaction equipment. The smooth drum design targets uniformity and finishing applications, while the robust Deere engine ensures long-term operational efficiency. Overall, the Sakai PDB43 delivers balanced power, maneuverability, and compaction effectiveness for professional construction needs.
