VOLVO SO75 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The Volvo SO75 Smooth Drum Roller is a robust compaction machine designed for efficiency and versatility in soil and asphalt applications. Equipped with a Volvo 04 E48 Tier 4i engine producing 74.3 horsepower, it delivers reliable power while meeting modern emissions standards. The machine features a 66-inch wide smooth drum and an operating width of 74 inches, ideal for uniform compaction over broad surfaces. Its vibration frequency ranges from 20.4 to 33.8 vibrations per minute, adjustable to suit various soil types and compaction needs. The SO75 incorporates a hydrostatic drive system paired with a two-speed variable piston transmission, optimizing work and transport speeds. A notable feature is its articulation joint offering +/- 38 degrees of maneuverability and +/- 15 degrees of drum oscillation, ensuring stable performance on uneven terrain and maintaining full drum contact for consistent compaction. The roller exerts a centrifugal force up to 31,250 pounds, adjustable to efficiently compact materials from light soils to denser layers. With an inside turning radius of 127 inches and an operating weight around 15,856 pounds, it balances strong compaction capability with maneuverability. The integration of Volvo’s traction and axle systems, including a No-Spin differential, enhances gradeability and traction on slopes and slippery surfaces, increasing operator confidence and productivity. Overall, the Volvo SO75 is engineered for high-performance compaction with user-friendly controls, durability, and compliance with environmental regulations, making it suitable for a range of construction and roadwork projects.
