STONE SD54 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The STONE SD54 Static Smooth Drum Roller is a heavy-duty compaction machine designed for soil and asphalt applications. It features a 54-inch wide smooth drum and an operating width of 59 inches, providing effective surface compaction over a broad area. The unit is powered by a reliable John Deere 3029DF150 diesel engine, a 2.9L, 3-cylinder PowerTech with a displacement of 177 cubic inches (4.17 x 4.33 in bore and stroke), rated between 48 to 58 horsepower at 2500 RPM, delivering robust and efficient power for consistent operation. The drum operates at a vibration frequency of 35 vpm (or 2100 VPM in some documents), generating a centrifugal force of 12,000 lbs and a total applied force of 15,100 lbs, with an amplitude of 0.062 inches to ensure thorough compaction. The roller's articulation and oscillation capabilities include a 35-degree articulating angle and a 9-degree oscillating angle, enabling tight turns with an inside turning radius of approximately 89 inches and excellent maneuverability near obstacles with a wall clearance of 2.5 inches and curb clearance of 14 inches. The machine's substantial operating weight of 6,540 lbs provides stability during operation. Additional features typically include dual drum scrapers, ROPS/FOPS for operator safety, comprehensive gauges and warning systems, a padded seat with flip-up armrests, seat belt, and a secondary parking brake, making it suitable for professional construction environments requiring reliable, powerful compaction performance.
