VOLVO SD45B SMOOTH STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The Volvo SD45B Smooth is a single-drum vibratory smooth drum roller designed for effective soil compaction, ideal for commercial and residential site development, utility installation, driveways, and landscaping projects. It features a 54-inch wide and 39.4-inch diameter drum with a 0.8-inch shell thickness, delivering powerful compaction with centrifugal forces of 20,907 lbs at high amplitude and 16,861 lbs at low amplitude, and a nominal vibration amplitude of 0.1 inches in both modes. The compactor is powered by a Volvo D3.3H engine, a 4-cylinder direct injection, turbocharged powerplant with cooled EGR, rated at 73.8 hp (54 kW), supporting hydrostatic propulsion with a low-speed high-torque motor driving the drum through a planetary axle and flow divider. Its hydrostatic service brakes and spring-applied, hydraulically released parking brake ensure reliable control and safety. The machine’s operating weight is approximately 10,908 lbs, with shipping weight at 10,701 lbs, supported by a fuel capacity of 26.8 gallons and a hydraulic fluid capacity of 25.4 gallons. The SD45B has dimensions optimized for maneuverability: overall length of 164.7 inches, width of 4.6 feet, height to cab top of 9.3 feet, ground clearance of 12.1 inches, and a 94.5-inch wheelbase. Electrical components include a 12-volt system with a 90-amp alternator and 750 cold-cranking amp batteries. The roller is equipped with 12.4-28 8PR tires, making it versatile for confined or varied terrain compaction needs.
