NEW! This updated SV544-1 series has replaced the SV544 series. Primary enhancements are the more powerful & fuel efficient F3.8 engine as well as some packaging changes.
Engineered for robust performance on medium to high production site work, the SV544T-1 84-inch padfoot single drum vibratory soil compactor delivers exceptional results. Weighing approximately 12.6 tons, this powerful roller is purpose-built for efficiently compacting cohesive and semi-cohesive soils typical of demanding projects like highway and airport subgrades and subbases, large embankments, and commercial industrial tracts. Powered by a 148 HP Cummins diesel, the SV544T-1 ensures sustained power and efficiency. Its standard, user-selectable traction control system provides confident operation even on slopes up to approximately 32 degrees (63% grade), proving invaluable for challenging inclines and tough terrains.
The SV544T-1 compactor embodies SAKAI’s legacy of dependability, durability, and user-friendly design. Operators will appreciate the intuitive control layout, featuring physical switches and knobs for precise command and a reduced learning curve for new personnel, all without the complexities of modern touchscreens. Built with a heavy-duty center hitch and long-lasting drum isolators, this SAKAI compactor is designed for maximum uptime and minimal maintenance. Choose the SV544T-1 for a powerful, reliable, and consistently productive compaction solution for your most demanding site prep needs.
