Features & Benefits

Volvo's advanced drum control system delivers multiple frequencies, dual amplitude, and optimized centrifugal force.

Versatile performance

The new Volvo soil compactors SD125B are packed with advanced technology. The drum is configured with ease while the engine controls itself. The compactors adapt to your application and jobsite to provide maximum versatility and performance.

Volvo B-series soil compactors: packed with performance

Operate more effectively with the drum control system, offering multiple frequencies, dual amplitudes and optimized centrifugal force for a high quality performance every time. Choose between high or low amplitude or auto vibration feature to achieve precise compaction with a smooth and consistent finish regardless of site conditions.

Frequency and amplitude choices

Easily adjust the vibration frequency from the operator console to compensate for changing soil types and conditions. Two frequency settings are standard and for even greater versatility, five frequency option is available. High and low amplitudes can also be selected.

Adaptive power

Adaptive power tailors machine performance by adjusting engine and hydraulic systems to individual job site requirements, providing the exact amount of power needed for increased efficiency. It's designed to run the machine at the optimal level needed for the job.

Application versatility

The machine can be set up in three different configurations and is available with smooth or padfoot drum. The compactor is quickly and easily converted from a smooth drum by clamping on a padfoot shell. The padfoot shell kit allows the machine to work in different applications and increases versatility.

Gradeability

The Volvo traction system provides excellent climbing and traction capabilities in difficult applications, such as steep inclines or slippery surfaces. The system prevents wheel or drum spin, improving gradeability, performance and productivity.

The perfectly optimized Volvo Tier 4 Final engine delivers high torque at low rpm for superior performance and low fuel consumption.

Power up, fuel down

The perfectly optimized Volvo Tier 4 Final engine delivers high torque at low rpm for superior performance and low fuel consumption. The compactor's engine has been developed to offer greater fuel efficiency, increasing uptime and reducing costs.

Volvo B-series soil compactors: control your comfort

Enhance productivity and safety in the state-of-the-art Volvo cab, featuring easy-to-reach controls and well-positioned handrails to ensure high performance and efficient compaction. From the ROPS/FOPS certified cab, the forward view and adjustable seat offer superb visibility of the jobsite, as well as unobstructed sightlines down to the drum for maximum safety and rolling precision.

Efficient cooling system

The hydraulically-driven fan with variable speed draws power only when needed. Lower fan speeds reduce noise, resulting in greater operator comfort and a lower total cost of ownership.

Passive regeneration

The new passive regeneration provides continuous and simplified operation. Volvo's passive regeneration cleans the filters automatically during normal operation without any input from the operator or effect on performance.

ECO mode

ECO mode is now standard and always on by default. It adjusts the engine speed to match the operation mode and achieves up to a 40% reduction in fuel consumption.

Eccentric design

The eccentric design delivers more efficiency while using less power. Matching the required performance to suit your application, the eccentric is designed for faster ramp up speeds at lower pressure for increased fuel efficiency.

The ROPS/FOPS certified cab provides a safe and comfortable working environment with all-around visibility.

Control in comfort

Step up to the Volvo designed cab and experience industry-leading low noise levels, ultimate comfort and a productive working environment. Safe, spacious and with improved all-around visibility, operators will work efficiently with less fatigue in a Volvo compactor.

Volvo B-series soil compactors: durably designed components

Built to last, the durable SD125B soil compactors are designed to withstand the harshest conditions, equipped with high quality components and a clean design. The robust structure features protected components and intelligent routing to secure machine uptime and maximize profitability of your business.

Seat

The fully adjustable seat now rotates and slides to enhance front and rear visibility for increased safety and comfort.

Operator display

The new high-tech color operator display presents operational information and key diagnostics, reducing the need for regular physical checks. Easy to see in direct sunlight, further functions include service interval information and machine operating conditions. The control keypad is conveniently located on the operator's side console and controls are grouped together for comfort and efficiency.

HVAC system

The cab is equipped with industry-leading climate control to ensure a comfortable environment inside the cab, whether heating or air conditioning is required. High air intake and positive cabin pressure helps to reduce dust from entering the cab.

Impact meter

Integrated into the display, the impact meter ensures you travel at the right speed for target compaction. The impact meter measures impacts per meter for a uniformed smooth finish.

The compactor features the highest quality components, clever routing and clean design.

Robust and reliable

Volvo Construction Equipment produces the most robust and durable compactors on the market. The SD75B and SD115B machines provide easy service access for increased uptime and quick maintenance.

Volvo B-series soil compactors: the power to perform

The Volvo SD75B and SD115B soil compactors are exceptionally efficient and designed for ease of operation, even in the toughest operations. Powered by the advanced Stage IV/Tier 4 Final engine, Volvo's B-series soil compactors are equipped with the productivity-enhancing ECO mode, efficient cooling system and passive regeneration, ensuring high quality performance with minimal fuel consumption and emissions.

Service Access

The tilting cab is standard, providing access to all hydraulic components. For class-leading access, the electric engine hood lifts up giving extensive ground level access to the engine compartment. Maintenance and inspections can be conducted more efficiently with minimal downtime – increasing overall productivity and reliability.

CareTrack

CareTrack is the state-of-the-art telematics system designed for Volvo Construction Equipment. Stay informed, receive reports, alarms and information such as fuel status, machine location and hours so you can plan your service more efficiently. Stay ahead of unscheduled downtime and check that your machine is being operated efficiently.

Sealed electronics

All components and electronics have been moved into the cab and mounted on the rear wall, protecting them from the elements. Fuses are accessible behind the fuse panel for improved accessibility.

Heavy-duty

The heavy-duty drum, center joint and front frame components are designed and manufactured with durability in mind. The thick steel drum shell is engineered for longevity and performance. Frames are robotically welded and built from high quality steel with precise and consistent welds guaranteeing a strong structure.
