JCB VM 117

The JCB VM117 soil compactor runs on a 74 HP JCB 430S5 55 Stage 5 diesel engine. It produces 440 Nm of torque at 1150 rpm to help the compactor handle long hours of compaction work.

To run the machine, the VM117 uses a hydrostatic direct drive system. This system drives the rear axle and drum, allowing operators to control the compactor on different soil surfaces. In addition, the drum uses an electrically controlled hydrostatic exciter drive with a single shaft circular exciter. 

Inside the operator station, the instrument panel displays key machine information. Gauges show engine speed, fuel level and engine temperature. VM117 also has warning indicators that alert about engine oil pressure, battery charging status and hydraulic oil condition. This helps operators monitor the machine while working.

• Maximum Gradient with HFLA Vibration: Climbs slopes up to 25% when vibration is in use.

Weight and Capacity

• Operating Weight: Weighs 11525 kg to maintain stability during compaction.
• Fuel Tank Capacity: Holds 300 litres of diesel for long working hours on construction sites.
• Engine Oil Capacity: Requires 14.5 litres of engine oil for lubrication during operation.
• Hydraulic Oil Capacity: Stores 84 litres of hydraulic oil for machine systems and functions.
• Exciter Gear Oil Capacity: Uses 3.3 litres of gear oil to support exciter system operation.
• Coolant Capacity: Uses 22 litres of coolant to maintain engine temperature during operation.

Dimensions

• Overall Width: 2240 mm allows the compactor to move through narrow construction sites.
• Wheelbase: 2906 mm wheelbase that helps maintain machine balance during compaction work.
• Machine Length: 5781 mm provides stabilization of the machine.
• Height to Top of ROPS: Reaches 2997 mm including the ROPS canopy structure.
• Ground Clearance: Offers 443 mm clearance which helps the compactor travel on uneven ground surfaces.
• Drum Width: Comes with a 2100 mm drum width that covers a wider soil area during compaction.
• Drum Diameter: Uses a 1500 mm drum diameter designed for soil compaction work.

Steering

• Steering System: Uses servo assisted centre articulation steering that helps operators turn the machine on construction sites.
• Oscillation Angle: Provides a 15 degree oscillating angle which helps maintain ground contact on uneven surfaces.
• Steering Angle: Offers a 35 degree steering angle from lock to lock for machine movement.
• Turning Radius (Outside Roller): Has a minimum turning radius of 5668 mm which helps the machine turn within site areas.

Braking System

• Service Brake: Uses the hydrostatic propulsion system to control machine braking during movement.
• Parking Brake: Includes a hydraulically released multi disk brake on the rear axle and drum drive to hold the machine in position.
• Emergency Brake: Uses an electrically controlled disk brake designed for emergency stopping conditions.

Operator Indicators and Lighting

• Instrumentation Panel: Displays engine speed, working hours, fuel level and engine temperature for machine monitoring.
• Warning Indicators: Alert operators about engine oil pressure, battery charging status, hydraulic oil condition and air filter status.
• Lighting System: Includes four working lights and headlamps that improve visibility during low light operation.
• Signal Indicators: Comes with turn signals and hazard warning lights for machine movement on site.
• Back Up Alarm: Provides an acoustic back up alarm that alerts nearby workers when the machine reverses.
