Engine
• Tier III/IV-certified diesel engines are environmentally friendly;
meet or exceed EPA standards
Drum Performance
• High dynamic forces due to patented drum technology -
heavy-duty bearings/high-strength welding withstand forces,
drum isolators dampen 95% of vibration to frame
• Eight Amplitude Eccentrics: Volvo’s design matches rotation of
drum’s unbalanced weights to the direction of travel - operator
selectable (Volvo models include DD70, 90, 118, 138)
Performance
• Large capacity water tanks with level indicators feature a flow
control system designed to optimize water usage

job sites - drums track each other
