WACKER NEUSON RD 27-120 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The Wacker Neuson RD 27-120 is a high-performance static smooth drum roller designed for efficient compaction tasks in road construction and infrastructure projects. It features a **47.2-inch (120 cm) drum width** and an operating width of **51.2 inches (130 cm)**, enabling extensive coverage per pass. Powered by a **32.7 hp engine at 2800 rpm**, this roller delivers a **vibration frequency of 3300 vibrations per minute (vpm)** and a frequency of 55 vpm, facilitating optimal soil and asphalt compaction. The machine weighs approximately **6226 lb (around 2.69 metric tons)**, balancing maneuverability with stability. The RD 27-120 operates with a robust articulated frame and offers precise hydraulic compaction force adjustment, allowing the engine to maintain a constant speed for consistent power output. A patented control lever integrates all standard machine functions, enhancing operator efficiency. The roller’s design includes a tapered front frame to improve visibility of drum edges, facilitating precise alignment along edges or curbs. Its overall dimensions measure **99 inches in length, 51 inches in width, and 109 inches in height**, suitable for a variety of site constraints. Designed specifically for compacting granular sub-bases, asphalt lifts, and base layers, the RD 27-120 supports single and double drum vibration modes for versatile application. Its compact dimensions and hydraulic steering allow a tight turning radius of about 98.8 inches, improving maneuverability in confined spaces. This model is recognized for reliability, durability, and efficient compaction performance in small to medium paving tasks and civil engineering projects.
