Volvo Launches New and Upgraded Machines for the Compaction Market
Updates to the SD75 and SD45 soil compactors and the PT125 pneumatic tire roller include features that enhance safety, serviceability and the user interface for operators. Show attendees also got the first look at a DD15 Electric asphalt compactor. At a press conference, Scott Young, president of Region North America, said that the upgrades demonstrate Volvo’s ongoing commitment to offering a diverse p “We’ve been designing, refining and manufacturing compactors in Shippensburg for decades,” said Mr. Young. “So we understand what helps contractors get their jobs done right, as safely and efficiently as possible. These machines are a testament to that.” Updates Improve Safety, Serviceability To maximize uptime, Volvo doubled the diesel particulate filter (DPF) replacement intervals on these machines from 3,000 to 6,000 h. LED work lights and beacons replace halogen lights, and telematics systems now include GSM/GPS and SATCOM antennas for optimized machine connectivity. Operators will appreciate several human-machine interface (HMI) upgrades, including all-new software, advanced keypads, a USB charging port and a 5-inch full-color LCD display – the same display available on the Volvo compact double drum compactor and excavator models. Additional HMI improvements include auto idle and auto engine shutdown to reduce fuel consumption, and an indicator for remaining hours of fuel. The HMI on the updated SD75 now includes a fan reverse menu selection and an optional five-frequency selection feature that allows the operator to select by surface type rather than frequency number.
Electric Model Will Reduce Emissions on Small Jobs The DD15 Electric can fully charge in 3.5 h with a 240-V Level 2 charging setup or in 12 h with a 120-V Level 1 outlet. Customers will get a few days of work from the compactor with typical light usage, especially considering that electric machines don’t accumulate idle hours like diesel machines do. The Volvo DD128 with Ultra-Pac drum technology and DD110 (both double-drum asphalt compactors) were displayed in at World of Asphalt/AGG1, alongside the upgraded SD45, SD75 and PT125 and the DD15 Electric. Three machines will also feature Volvo’s productivity-enhancing intelligent compaction technology, Compact Assist. The event also marked the North American show debut of the recently launched SD125 soil compactor and A50 articulated hauler.
