VIBROMAX VM46D STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The JCB Vibromax VM46D is a self-propelled static smooth drum vibratory roller designed for efficient soil and asphalt compaction in construction and civil engineering applications. It features a single smooth steel drum with a diameter of 39.4 in (1000 mm) and a width of 55.1 in (1400 mm), delivering a centrifugal force of 22,841 lbf (101.6 kN) at a medium amplitude of 0.071 in (1.8 mm) and a vibration frequency of 1920 vpm (32 Hz). The roller has an operating weight of 10,141 lb (4600 kg) and a static linear load of 88 lb/in, providing high compaction performance with a compaction depth of up to 26 in (65 cm). It is powered by a Cummins B3.3 four-cylinder, water-cooled, four-stroke diesel engine with a displacement of 199 cu in (3260 cc), producing 60.4 hp (45 kW) at 2200 rpm. The machine is equipped with an infinitely variable hydrostatic direct drive system on the rear axle and drum, enabling smooth speed control with a maximum travel speed of 7.9 mph (12.7 km/h) and a working speed of up to 5.8 km/h (3.6 mph). Steering is achieved via a ±32° lock angle with a tight inner turning radius of 122 in (3.1 m), enhancing maneuverability on site. The VM46D has an overall length of 14.4 ft (4375 mm), a wheelbase of 7.3 ft (2200 mm), an operating width of 59.8 in (1520 mm), and 13.2 in (335 mm) of ground clearance, supported by 12.00R20 XZL tires.
