VOLVO SD75B STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The 2018 Volvo SD75B Static Smooth Drum Roller is a versatile soil compactor designed for efficient and adaptable compaction tasks. It has an operating weight of approximately 15,855.7 lbs and is powered by a turbocharged 74.3 hp Volvo D3.8 Tier 4 Final engine, providing high torque at low rpm for superior performance and fuel efficiency. The machine features a smooth drum with a width of 66 inches and a diameter of about 48 inches, offering a nominal amplitude of 0.06 to 0.08 inches for different material depths. The advanced drum control system delivers multiple frequencies and dual amplitude settings, allowing operators to easily adjust vibration frequency and centrifugal force to match soil types and compaction needs. Centrifugal forces range from approximately 27,200 to 31,250 lbs, enhancing compaction efficiency. Its hydrostatic two-speed axle drive allows a high travel speed of up to 7.7 mph. The compactor’s articulated chassis provides ±38 degrees articulation and ±15 degrees drum oscillation for improved maneuverability, stability, and uniform compaction on rough terrain. The ROPS/FOPS-certified cab ensures operator safety and comfort with all-around visibility. Additional features include a 12V electrical system, ground clearance of 15.08 inches, overall length of 198.59 inches, width of 5.5 feet, and a wheelbase of 105.4 inches. The SD75B’s robust frame, lifetime warranty on its frame and articulation joints, and user-friendly service access underscore its durability and low total cost of ownership, making it suitable for a broad range of compaction applications and conditions.
