VOLVO SD45B PADFOOT STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The Volvo SD45B Padfoot is a single-drum soil compactor designed for efficient compaction in confined areas such as commercial and residential sites, utility installations, driveways, and landscaping projects. It features a 54-inch wide drum with a 39.4-inch diameter and a shell thickness of 0.8 inches, capable of being converted from smooth to padfoot configuration in under an hour for versatile soil compaction. The machine is powered by a Volvo D3.3H 4-cylinder, turbocharged, direct-injection diesel engine with cooled EGR, delivering 73.8 hp (54 kW) to provide high centrifugal force and amplitude for achieving target density in fewer passes. It has a hydrostatic propulsion system with a low-speed, high-torque motor on a planetary axle and a flow divider for reliable drum drive. The compactor delivers a high-amplitude centrifugal force of 20,907.3 lbf and low-amplitude force of 16,860.7 lbf, both at a nominal amplitude of 0.1 inch, ensuring effective compaction across various soil types. With an operating weight of 11,658.1 lbs, a 26.8-gallon fuel tank, and a 25.4-gallon hydraulic system, the SD45B offers extended runtime and low total cost of ownership. It includes a 12V electrical system with a 90A alternator and 750 CCA battery, and features such as a hinged engine hood and tiltable operator platform for easy ground-level maintenance access.
