VOLVO SO160 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The Volvo SO160 Static Smooth Drum Roller is a robust compaction machine designed for superior soil and asphalt compaction tasks. It features an 84-inch wide smooth steel drum with a vibration frequency range between 30.8 and 33.8 vibrations per minute, providing uniform and efficient compaction performance across a 94.7-inch operating width. The machine boasts an inside turning radius of 136.3 inches, facilitating effective maneuverability on job sites. Powered by a reliable Cummins QSB 6.7-liter turbocharged inline six-cylinder diesel engine, it delivers strong torque and power suited for heavy-duty operations. This engine is known for its industry-leading power density, turbocharged-aftercooled aspiration, and advanced high-pressure common rail fuel system, ensuring efficient fuel consumption, reduced emissions, and quiet operation. The combination of the large drum width and vibration capabilities makes the SO160 ideal for both static and vibratory compaction requirements, enhancing soil stability and surface finish. Its design supports a balance between compaction force and operational efficiency, making it suitable for highway, roadwork, and large-scale construction projects requiring consistent and deep compaction. The Volvo SO160 integrates durability, operator comfort, and low maintenance needs, underpinned by Volvo's reputation for reliability in construction equipment. This model is essential for contractors demanding efficient performance, versatility, and powerful engine support in a smooth drum roller.
