VMT 380-130/140 Road Roller

The new JCB VMT 380-130/140 road roller is designed to offer high productivity and reliability with maximum operating economy, excellent serviceability and operation safety. The ideal combination of static weights, centrifugal forces and amplitudes makes this vibratory roller perfect for a wide range of both soil and asphalt applications, from rolling sub-base to finish rolling.

Thanks to excellent manoeuvrability and a compact design, VMT380-130/140 compaction rollers are also ideal for a wide range of workplaces, including yards, access roads, residential streets, car parks, roads, highways and airports.

Weighing 3750 to 3850 kg and powered by a four cylinder 33.6 kW motor, the VMT 380-130/140 has an operating width of 1300 – 1400 mm and generates centrifugal forces of 59 to 63 kN. There’s an adjustable seat for comfort and productivity.

Performance

To ensure maximum productivity, we’ve designed the VMT 380-130/140 road roller with performance to the fore. That’s why it comes equipped with a pressurised filtered water spray system, the largest fuel tanks in the industry, and automatic vibration control with manual override.

Not only that but this vibratory roller has a single-piece exciter system for high performance and durability, a high vibration frequency for fast rolling speeds, and a high curb and side clearance. Hydrostatic front and rear drum propulsion makes the VMT 380-130/140 road roller even more productive.

Amplitude of 0.44 mm gives maximum compaction depth, 42% gradability is class-leading, there are three throttle detent positions and even switchable drum vibration; choose from double, single front or single rear configurations.

Serviceability and Durability

To keep the VMT 380-130/140 road roller productive for longer, we’ve designed it to be easily serviceable and highly durable. That means comfortable driver stands with extremely low vibration levels, front-to-rear-frame oscillation for stability, oil splash lubricated vibration bearings, class-leading service access (including a lightweight hood), maintenance-free centre joints, and exceptional hose and piping protection. Plus the drums come with pre-loaded rubber mountings for increased component life-time and protection of hydraulic installations at the drum.

There’s also spring-applied, hydraulically released parking brakes and spring-loaded, adjustable vulcolan scrapers on each drum. What’s more, to make sure every VMT 380-130/140 road roller is ready to roll when it leaves the factory, we bench test each individual machine as part of an intensive test-run.
