VOLVO SD75B PADFOOT STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The Volvo SD75B Padfoot is a heavy-duty soil compactor featuring a turbocharged 4-cylinder Volvo D3.8 Tier 4F engine rated at 74.3 hp (55 kW), designed for efficient compaction with hydrostatic propulsion and drum drive via an LSHT motor. It has a wide padfoot drum measuring 66 inches in width and 48 inches in diameter, with 3-inch pad height and 1-inch shell thickness, providing a pad surface area of 19 sq. inches for effective soil penetration. The machine operates with a hydraulic system fluid capacity of 15.9 gallons and a fuel capacity of 30.4 gallons, supporting prolonged operation. The compactor’s operating weight is approximately 16,244 lbs, ensuring strong ground contact and compaction force with a ground clearance of 17.8 inches, overall length of 198.6 inches, width of 5.5 feet, and a wheelbase of 105.4 inches. It offers two-speed operation, with a high speed of 8.1 mph and low speed of 4.7 mph, enabling precise control based on compaction needs. The braking system includes a spring-applied hydraulic parking brake and hydrostatic service brake for safety and control. The electrical system uses a 12 V, 100 A alternator. Vibration characteristics include high and low centrifugal forces of 31,248.5 lbs and 27,201.9 lbs respectively, with nominal amplitude maintained at 0.1 inches to maximize soil compaction efficiency. Its inside turning radius is 128 inches, and tires are 14.9-24 R3 6PR TT, suitable for stable maneuvering on varied terrain. This compactor adapts well to diverse soil types and jobsite conditions for versatile construction applications.
