Technical Description
The SAKAI SW200 is a compact, articulated, double-drum static smooth drum roller designed for efficient compaction in confined areas and on small to medium-sized jobsites. Featuring a rigid, all-drum drive system with center-articulated steering, the SW200 provides excellent maneuverability and consistent ground contact for uniform compaction results. The machine is equipped with two smooth steel drums, each 31.5 inches wide and 22.1 inches in diameter, delivering a medium centrifugal force of 2,960 lbs at a vibration frequency of 52.5 vpm to effectively compact granular and semi-cohesive soils, asphalt layers, and base materials. Powered by a 3TNE-68 diesel engine with 47.9 cu in displacement, the roller produces 13.9 hp at 2,400 rpm, supporting reliable performance in demanding site conditions. With an operating weight of 2,932.2 lbs, the SW200 achieves high static linear pressure across its 31.5-inch compaction width, ensuring dense, smooth finishes on pavements and subgrades. The hydrostatic transmission allows for smooth, stepless speed control up to 3.2 mph (5 kph), while the compact dimensions—6.6 ft in length, 3.1 ft in width, and 9.1 in ground clearance—enable operation in tight spaces. Standard features include a 12-volt electrical system, 4-gallon fuel tank, and 10.6-gallon hydraulic fluid capacity, supporting extended operation with minimal downtime. Designed for durability and ease of use, the SW200 is ideal for site preparation, road maintenance, utility work, and asphalt finishing applications.
