SAKAI SW230 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The Sakai SW230 Static Smooth Drum Roller is a compact, reliable compaction machine designed for asphalt and soil applications requiring smooth, even surfaces. It features a drum width of 35.5 inches and a drum diameter of 22.1 inches, delivering a centrifugal force of 3,700 lbs at a medium vibration frequency of 52.5 vpm. Powered by a 13.9 hp (10 kW) 3TNE-68 engine with a displacement of 47.9 cubic inches running at 2400 rpm, the unit offers steady power for efficient compaction. Its fuel capacity is 4 gallons with a hydraulic fluid capacity of 10.6 gallons, supporting smooth hydraulic operations. The roller has an operating weight of 3,262.9 lbs, providing substantial static weight for effective soil or asphalt compaction. Compact dimensions include a ground clearance of 9.1 inches, overall width of 3.4 feet, overall length of about 6.6 feet, and a wheelbase of 4.3 feet, enabling maneuverability in confined spaces. The maximum speed is 3.2 mph (5 kph), suitable for precise compaction work. Operating on a 12-volt electrical system, the SW230 is engineered for durability and ease of use in small- to medium-scale paving, landscaping, and soil compaction projects, producing a smooth finish with consistent compaction force across its drum width. Its robust design and moderate size make it versatile for various construction environments requiring reliable static compaction.
