Features and benefits for SD120
A new level in productivity
The already outstanding productivity of the previous generation is taken to new heights in the SD120 thanks to the powerful 99kW D5 engine, matched hydraulics and new optional traction enhancement, delivering optimum performance in challenging ground conditions. Optional R1 tyres further enhance performance when working in clay environments.
Forces and amplitudes
Achieve the desired compaction density, in different soil conditions, in fewer passes thanks to the high centrifugal forces of the SD120 and segment leading drum static linear load. With dual amplitudes 1.9/1.0 operators can adapt to different soil conditions for the right level of force according to desired layer thickness and the stage of compaction.
Compaction gauge and Compaction assist
With a basic compaction gauge as an option, operators can easily see if the correct compaction is achieved compared to the target on the digital colour display. The new optional digital compaction gauge is integrated into the display providing instant compaction status compared to target. To further enhance productivity, quality and accuracy, the new Compaction assist as an option helps optimize compaction and achieve the preset compaction by evenly compacting the entire working area and avoid unnecessary fuel consumption. Downloadable reports on compaction quality and results also minimise the need for compaction testing.
Scraper options
Optional inside scrapers help maintain drum surface cleanliness by scraping debris and preventing soil build up on the outside scrapers. Choose the modular front scraper which adapts between blade and teeth for smooth and padfoot drums, this removes the need to swap scrapers when changing drum types – saving time and boosting efficiency.
Power, Performance and economy
Powerful 99kW Volvo D5 engine is matched with new and improved hydraulics to deliver superior performance. This is complemented by a host of further fuel economy boosting features.
New efficient hydraulic system
The proven new generation hydraulic system reduces losses and is ideally matched to the Volvo D5 engine helping to deliver more performance and less fuel consumption.
ECO mode for travelling
The new ECO mode feature when travelling leverages the engine performance curves to deliver excellent fuel economy, and with virtually no change in performance when not compacting.
Intuitive display
Operators are guided by an alert to switch to ECO mode or 'low idle’ thanks to the smart detection, further helping to save fuel.
Work in comfort
The High visibility cabin comes with HVAC, Radio, Sunvisor, optional adjustable steering column, comfortable seat with arm rests, a new intuitive interface, ergonomic controls and a spacious platform with new shock mounts help reduce operator fatigue during long shifts.
New intuitive interface
In the SD120 operators will be working with the all-new 4.3” LED color display. This intuitive interface puts vital information and diagnostics at the operator’s fingertips along with 2-trip meters for recording hours (day/week or week/month).
Take control
Machine control is improved with the introduction of a new, robust propulsion lever and an ergonomically repositioned throttle lever. The updated throttle offers three speed settings, giving operators greater control, improved performance and fuel economy.
Safety
The Cabin is certified for ROPS and FOPS and comes with an optional rear view aid camera. Existing key features like 3-point access, seat belt reminder, operator presence switch, emergency stop switch and outstanding all-around visibility ensure optimum safety for the operator.
Built for hard work
The SD120 is a true heavy-duty compactor and a long-lasting partner for your business, and with Volvo axles (with no-spin differential), gearbox and engine, Volvo quality runs throughout the machine. No matter the application this is a compactor designed to excel across a wide range of segments thanks to the proven Volvo D5 engine and robust machine design. Optimized tractive effort between front and rear drives allows equal capability to climb grades or navigate over small obstructions with ease in both forward and reverse. With engine cooling in ambient temperatures up to 50°C, the machine can keep working in hot environments without any drop in performance.
Easy to service
Keep uptime to a maximum thanks to the excellent serviceability of the SD120. Features such as best-in-class access to essential maintenance points, grouped filters and other optimized service point locations boost machine availability and protect your return on investment. Optional tow valve allows brake release in the event of an unplanned breakdown, allowing the vehicle to be towed to a safe location without the need for an external device to release the brakes.
Heavy duty drivetrain
Engineered for long-lasting performance, the heavy-duty drum drive system delivers powerful, consistent torque to tackle tough compaction tasks with ease. Built to withstand harsh job site conditions, its rugged design ensures maximum uptime, reduced maintenance, and reliable performance shift after shift-so you can compact with confidence, no matter the challenge.
CareTrack telematics
With CareTrack, the Volvo telematics system, you can get remote access to essential information regarding the location and operating hours of your machine, as well as geofencing, to help you stay informed, make better decisions and stay ahead of unscheduled downtime.
