Bobcat VR48 Compactor

BOBCAT VR48 – VIBRATORY ROLLER ATTACHMENTSThe vibratory roller hard-packs in either forward or reverse. Oscillation of the drum allows the roller to follow contours on uneven terrain, offering more precise control when operating on slopes. For more compact jobsites, the offset drum design allows for operating next to sidewalks, walls, and curbs.Designed for greater operator comfort, the isolation mounting system reduces vibration transferred to the operator, meaning less operator fatigue and more comfortable working conditions and a more packed jobsite.It is the ideal attachment for site preparation operations, landscaping contractors, and paving operations. Easy to haul over the road, the vibratory roller is an agile jobsite attachment, delivering faster results in fewer passes.HIGHLIGHTS• Tackle uneven terrain and big jobs with the vibratory roller attachment • Ideal for site preparation, landscaping contractors, and paving operations • Hard-packs in either forward or reverse • Offset drum design allows for operating next to sidewalks, walls, and curbs • Easy to haul over the road, the vibratory roller delivers faster results in fewer passesFEATURESBI-DIRECTIONAL; OPERATIONDual-direction vibration motor permits compaction while traveling in either direction. DRUM OSCILLATIONFree drum oscillation keeps more of the drum in contact with the surface on uneven terrain. ISOLATION MOUNTING SYSTEMThis system reduces vibration transferred to the operator, meaning less operator fatigue and more comfortable working conditions. It also supports more consistent pressure to the ground, delivering consistent compacting results. OFFSET DRUM DESIGNThe offset drum design allows the right side of roller to extend past the machine for compacting next to sidewalks, walls, or curbs. OIL-BATH BEARINGSDesigned to avoid costly downtime, the oil-bath bearings eliminate the need for daily greasing. PROTECTED HOSE ROUTINGHoses are routed for protection and maximum uptime. It also helps keep the couplers clean. SCRAPERSScrapers keep the drum clean for better ground contact and compaction. VERSATILITYChoose between a smooth or padded drum, depending on the jobsite. BOB-TACH™ MOUNTING SYSTEMThe Bob-Tach™ attachment mounting system turns any loader into a multi-job machine with a tight-fit attachment hook-up. Fast and easy attachment changes mean spending less time on maintenance and more time on the job.TOP TASKS • Paving, patching, trenching and flatwork HOW IT WORKS The vibrating action of the roller allows the base material to realign and compact from the bottom up. A hydraulic motor drives a centrifugal weight on the drum shaft that provides the compacting action. CHOOSING THE RIGHT DRUM• Sand, pea rock, gravel, and asphalt patching: Choose a smooth drum. • Heavy soils, clay, and clay-based backfill compaction: Choose a padded drum.Certain specification(s) are based on engineering calculations and are not actual measurements.
