The Volvo SD100D smooth drum soil compactor has a 2 134 mm (84 in) vibratory drum and is designed with many innovative features that provide excellent drum performance, serviceability, reliability, and operator comfort and safety.

Variable frequency setting permits the operator to adapt vibration to the particular material being compacted

High engine power-to-weight ratio and high dynamic force combine to achieve maximum material density in a minimum of passes

Heavy-duty axle with No-Spin® differential, low centre of gravity, and optional hydrostatic Ultra-Grade® traction system with wheel and drum drive all combine for steep climbing without interruption in traction power

Optional CompAnalyzer provides contractors with full data documentation of the compaction process and allows the operator to organise work most efficiently

Optional two-piece, clamp-on padfoot shell kit converts smooth drum to padfoot drum easily and quickly without changing the hydraulic system

Centrally located remote-mounted hydraulic oil filters and hydraulic test ports

Audible and visual warning lights for engine, oil pressure, coolant temperature, hydraulic oil temperature, and air cleaner restriction
