VOLVO SD100D STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The Volvo SD100D is a robust static smooth drum roller designed for efficient soil compaction. It features an 84-inch (2,134 mm) wide vibratory drum with a diameter of 59 inches, providing a wide operating width of 90 inches and an overall machine width of 7 feet. The drum's vibration frequency ranges from 1,870 to 2,019 vibrations per minute (vpm), with a high-frequency vibration of 33.6 vpm, delivering centrifugal forces of up to 52,500 pounds in the high setting and 26,200 pounds in the low setting. These parameters enable deep and consistent compaction to achieve maximum material density with fewer passes. Powered by a 125 horsepower engine, the SD100D combines high engine output with a high power-to-weight ratio, ensuring excellent productivity and performance on a variety of soil types. The roller measures approximately 18.75 feet in length (without blade) and 10.17 feet in height to the top of the cab, with a gross operating weight around 23,100 lb (10,476 kg), which contributes to its effective static compaction force. Key technical features include a variable frequency vibration system that allows operators to adapt compaction force according to material type, a heavy-duty axle with a No-Spin® differential for traction on slopes, and an optional Ultra-Grade® hydrostatic traction system. Additionally, maintenance is simplified by centrally located hydraulic oil filters and test ports. Safety systems include audible and visual alarms for critical engine and hydraulic system parameters. The SD100D is engineered for durability, operator comfort, and ease of maintenance, making it suitable for demanding infrastructure projects requiring reliable soil compaction.
