VOLVO DD138HF STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The Volvo DD138HF is a high-performance static smooth drum roller designed for heavy-duty compaction tasks. It features an overall width of 7 feet and a turning radius of 15 feet, enabling effective maneuvering in confined workspaces. The smooth steel drum measures 84 inches (7 feet) in width and operates at a vibration frequency of 53.3 vibrations per minute (vpm), generating a centrifugal force of 42,265 lbs (188 kN) to ensure deep, uniform soil compaction. Powered by a Cummins engine delivering 173 horsepower, the DD138HF offers robust and reliable performance for demanding construction environments. It has an operating weight of 30,318 lbs, which contributes to its compaction efficiency. The machine’s transport dimensions include a length of 19.67 feet, a width of 7.67 feet, and a height of 10.43 feet, facilitating transport and storage. The roller’s travel speed reaches up to 7.02 mph, providing optimal balance between coverage and compaction quality. This configuration makes the Volvo DD138HF especially suitable for large-scale road building, asphalt compaction, and other infrastructure projects requiring consistent surface finishing and soil stabilization. Its combination of powerful vibration, substantial weight, and mobility enhances compaction effectiveness on various soil types and aggregate bases.
