VOLVO SD160F STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The Volvo SD160F is a robust static smooth drum roller designed for efficient soil and asphalt compaction. It features an 84-inch (2.13 m) wide smooth drum with a diameter of 59 inches (150 cm), providing a 95-inch operating width suitable for wide coverage. The machine operates with a vibration frequency of 1,650 vibrations per minute (vpm) and a high centrifugal force of 76,210 lbs (339 kN), ensuring deep and uniform compaction. Its nominal amplitude is 0.1 inches (around 2.21 mm), balancing compaction intensity with surface finish quality. Powered by a 173 hp engine, the SD160F has an operating weight of approximately 36,394 lbs (16,508 kg), delivering significant force while maintaining maneuverability, with a top speed of 8 mph (13 kph). Fuel and hydraulic capacities are 68 gallons (257 liters) and 28 gallons (104 liters), respectively, supporting prolonged operation times. The drum width and overall width at 7 feet ensure stability and effective compaction over broad surfaces. This model is engineered for construction tasks demanding large-scale earthwork compaction such as road building, highway subgrades, and large foundation projects. Its powerful vibration system combined with the static smooth drum contributes to optimal soil particle rearrangement, achieving desired density quickly and efficiently. The SD160F’s design focuses on performance, durability, and operator control in a wide range of soil and aggregate materials.
