Whether you’re working on cohesive soils, sub-base layers, or landfill sites, this pad foot roller delivers performance, combining power, durability, and operator comfort.
With an operating weight of 12,660 kg and a static drum weight of 7,880 kg, the BW213PD-5SL exerts significant force to achieve optimal compaction.
The 2,130 mm wide drum is fitted with 150 high-quality pads, each standing 100 mm tall with a 137 cm² contact area, ensuring deep penetration and uniform compaction.
The machine’s variable amplitude settings (1.70 mm high / 0.86 mm low) and adjustable frequency (30 Hz / 36 Hz) allow operators to fine-tune performance based on material type.
In high amplitude mode, it generates an impressive 275 kN of centrifugal force, while low amplitude delivers 202 kN, making it ideal for different soil densities.
Powered by a Deutz TCD 2012 L04 2V engine, the BW213PD-5SL produces 103 kW (138 hp) at 2,400 rpm, ensuring strong performance under load.
The 5-litre, 4-cylinder engine is B20 biodiesel-compatible, reducing environmental impact without sacrificing power.
With a gradeability of up to 45%, this Bomag roller handles steep inclines with confidence.
Its articulated steering allows 35° of movement in either direction, while the 3,677 mm turning circle diameter ensures excellent manoeuvrability in tight spaces.
The machine’s dimensions (5,870 mm long, 2,260 mm wide, and 3,053 mm high) strike a balance between stability and transportability, while the hydrostatic transmission (HS) provides smooth, responsive control.
Safety is prioritised with a service braking system featuring hydrostatic and disc brakes, ensuring reliable stopping power.
The robust construction and easy-access service points simplify maintenance, keeping downtime to a minimum.
