VOLVO SD45 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The Volvo SD45 is a static smooth drum roller designed for efficient soil compaction in confined and versatile jobsite conditions. It features a robust Kubota V3600T turbocharged, water-cooled 4-cylinder diesel engine with a displacement of 3.62 liters, rated at approximately 74-85 hp, delivering reliable power and durability under demanding environments. The roller is equipped with a 54-inch (137 cm) wide smooth drum, offering a vibration frequency of 32 vibrations per minute (vpm) to optimize compaction efficiency. The SD45 has an operating width of 62.6 inches, allowing for precise maneuvering and coverage. It boasts an operating weight ranging from 10,910 lbs with ROPS to 11,660 lbs with cab and inside scraper, providing excellent stability and ground contact. Centrifugal force varies between approximately 16,800 and 21,000 lbs, generated with an amplitude of 0.078 inches, enabling effective compaction of various soil types. The machine’s articulation angle of 41 degrees combined with a 12-degree oscillation angle enhances maneuverability on uneven terrain, while a turning radius inside of 101.1 inches allows for high operational agility. The Volvo SD45 is designed for gradeability up to 45%, supporting work on slopes and rough sites. Overall, the SD45 combines powerful Kubota engine performance with precise compaction capabilities and ergonomic design to meet demanding construction and landscaping needs efficiently.
