TATA HITACHI VM3 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The Tata Hitachi VM3 Static Smooth Drum Roller is a high-performance compaction machine designed for efficiency and versatility in soil compaction tasks. It features a powerful BT 4 engine delivering 102 hp (76 kW) and an operating weight of 24,691.8 lbs, ensuring strong ground impact force. The roller’s single smooth drum measures 57.1 inches in diameter and 84.1 inches in width, providing a static linear load of 473 pounds per inch for effective compaction. The drum generates a high centrifugal force of approximately 4,832,493 lbs and a low force of about 1,476,545 lbs, with a nominal amplitude of 0.1 inches at both high and low settings, optimized for consistent static compaction performance. Its robust design includes a ground clearance of 17.4 inches, overall width of 7.7 feet, and a wheelbase of 10.3 feet, with a cab height of 9.4 feet for operator comfort and visibility. The machine is equipped with 18.4x26 tires for stable maneuvering on varied terrain. The VM3’s static drum technology suits applications requiring smooth surface finishes, such as road construction and asphalt compaction. It combines durability, high static linear load, and strong centrifugal force to deliver superior compaction with reliability and operational efficiency in a range of construction environments.
