Three models for high yardage compaction jobs

Sakai’s new 12-ton-class soil rollers, the SV610-III Series, come in three models: the 27,555-pound SV610D-III smooth-drum model designed for rock and granular materials; the 27,710-pound SV610T-III padfoot roller for cohesive materials, silts and clays; and the 32,560-pound SV610TF-III model that includes a padfoot/smooth drum combination. The padfoot drum in the SV610TF-III is encased within a bolt-on smooth drum shell that can be removed when working on cohesive soils. This series comes with an 84-inch drum width and is designed for high yardage compaction jobs on a wide range of soils and rockfill applications – highway and airport subbases, embankments, dams, reservoirs and large commercial tracts.

The SV610-III Series compactors are powered by a fuel efficient, Tier III, Cum-mins, 148-hp, water-cooled, turbocharged diesel engine. All three models offer centrifugal forces up to 58,450 pounds.
