VOLVO SD45F STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The Volvo SD45F Static Smooth Drum Roller is a compact and powerful machine designed for efficient soil and aggregate compaction in commercial and residential construction. It features a smooth single drum with a width of 54 inches (1,372 mm) and a drum diameter of 39.37 inches (1 meter), optimized for granular and mixed soil types. The roller delivers a vibration frequency of 32 Hz (vibrations per minute), generating a centrifugal force of 22,256 lbs (99 kN), enabling effective compaction with a nominal amplitude of 0.067 inches (1.71 mm). The operating width is 62.6 inches, slightly wider than the drum for improved coverage. Weighing approximately 11,160 lbs (5,062 kg), the SD45F offers excellent gradeability and maneuverability with dimensions supporting transport width of 5.22 ft (1.59 m), length of 13.29 ft (4.05 m), and height of 9.19 ft (2.8 m). It is powered by an 84.5 hp (63 kW) engine compliant with SAE J1995 gross power standards, balancing performance and fuel efficiency for various site conditions. Compact and robust, the SD45F is particularly suited for small to medium-sized construction projects, including roadwork, foundations, and trench compaction, where precise and uniform surface finish is required. Its design focuses on operator ease of use and durability, making it a reliable choice within Volvo’s vibratory compactor lineup.
