DD105 Volvo DD105 Specifications & Technical Data (2013—2025)

Adaptive power

Volvo automatically adjusts engine output according to jobsite requirements. Power is delivered only when needed for optimum performance and efficiency thanks to the Eco mode and auto-idling features.

Exceptionally efficient

Introducing the new Volvo DD105 double drum compactor – the first of a new generation of exceptionally efficient machines, designed to help you protect the environment and your profits. Powered by an advanced Stage IV engine with efficiency-enhancing Eco mode and auto-idling features built in, this compactor ensures high quality performance with minimal fuel consumption, emissions and noise.

Engine

Built on decades of experience, the advanced Stage IV Volvo engine with variable speed fan drive delivers maximum power and efficiency.

Eco mode

Reduce fuel consumption by up to 30% with Eco mode. Noise and emissions are also decreased, without impacting performance.

Auto idle

When stationary, the auto idling feature automatically reduces engine speed to idle after five seconds, decreasing fuel consumption and noise. The machine returns to high idle when moved out of neutral.

Primed for performance

The Volvo DD105 double drum compactor is primed with a range of features to ensure high performance and efficiency. The new drum vibration system, off-set steering and anti slip control deliver excellent compaction with a smooth and consistent finish whatever the site conditions.

Anti Slip Control (ASC)

ASC ensures excellent traction at all times. Not only does ASC guarantee even performance, it is especially important when loading and unloading the compactor for transport – enhancing site staff safety and preventing damage to the road.

Dd105 osc

The DD105 OSC features a front vibratory drum with dual amplitudes and a rear oscillatory drum with a hardened steel shell. This enables the DD105 OSC to compact in a wider range of applications.

Work in Sensitive Applications with Oscillation

By eliminating vertical drum motion, there is minimal chance of crushing softer aggregates. Oscillation is ideal for flexible pavement materials used on bridges, adjacent to buildings, or over underground utilities.

Achieve Joint Density

When compacting a hot to cold joint, an oscillatory drum does not run the risk of damaging the cool pavement lane. Oscillatory drums are more effective in achieving joint density than static rolling.

Improve Smoothness

The oscillatory movement of the hardened steel drum eliminates drum impacts, which makes oscillation ideal for intermediate and finish rolling.

Compact Thin Lifts

Efficiently achieve density on lifts too thin to vibrate. Thinner lifts cool faster than moderate lifts, and oscillation achieves density faster than static rolling.

Increased Time Available for Compaction

Use of oscillatory rollers extends the Time Available for Compaction (TAC) because the rocking oscillatory drum motion can rearrange aggregate in the asphalt material at lower temperatures than conventional vibratory rollers.

Compact Assist

Unlock the full potential of your machine with Compact Assist, the optional Intelligent Compaction system from Volvo. For a more efficient and precise job, Compact Assist offers real-time insight into the work using pass mapping and temperature mapping.

Designed to fit your needs

There is a lot riding on creating solutions that are suited to the particular needs of different industry applications. Innovation often involves high technology – but it doesn’t always have to. Some of our best ideas have been simple, based on a clear and deep understanding of our customers’ working lives.

Drum visibility

Unobstructed sightlines down to the drum and spray bars allow perfect placement and make it easy to monitor water flow. This allows the operator to maintain excellent control over the machine for consistent results.

Easy refill

Easy access to the water tank at ground level allows for quick and safe refill – keeping the compactor on the job for longer.

Backup pump

The compactor is fitted with two water pumps that alternate during normal operation. This allows the compactor to remain on the job even if a pump malfunctions, as a constant flow of water to the drum surface can still be provided. Uptime is optimized.

Service Access

The swing-up hood design provides easy, complete access to the engine and hydraulic components, allowing inspections and maintenance to be performed more efficiently. Unobstructed daily checkpoints with ground-level access to the engine, radiator, battery and filters saves time and helps ensure daily maintenance is properly completed.

Maintenance made easy

The Volvo DD105 double drum compactor offers the industry’s safest and easiest maintenance access – taking the hassle out of daily service checks. Technicians can access all service hatches – as well as the cab door and ignition – with a single key while fuses and relays are grouped together for speed and convenience. Achieve maximum uptime from your compactor.

Hand serviceable sprays

The fan-spray nozzles and screens in the water spraying system can be cleaned quickly and easily without the use of tools. This minimizes the time required for maintenance.

Fuses and relays

Fuses and relays are grouped and centrally mounted in the roof of the operator platform, protected from water or damage. This design speeds up routine maintenance for maximum uptime from the machine.

Machined drums

Each drum is specially machined to ensure it is perfectly cylindrical for a smooth, even finish. The edges are chamfered to avoid marking the mat while rolling.

A home away from home

With industry-leading comfort, control and visibility the Volvo DD105 offers one of the most productive operator environments on the market. The comfortable seat slides and rotates to provide clear views of the mat and drum edge while the padded floor reduces noise and vibrations for a smooth, quiet ride and minimal fatigue.

Seat

Sliding and rotating seat with clear views of the mat and drum edge. The clear floor design keeps moving parts tucked away and clean in the rear wall.

Cool environment

Control your climate with Volvo’s efficient, industry-leading climate control system. With well-spaced vents quickly heating or cooling the cab, this air circulation and defrosting system increases comfort and productivity.

Ergonomic controls

The compactor’s controls are easy to reach and help minimise fatigue. The display is easily in view and allows the operator keep an eye on the road at all times.

Low noise

By locating the engine in the rear frame, as far away from the operator as possible, noise in the cab is kept to a minimum – increasing operator comfort and performance.

Pillar-less View

With large expanses of curved glass, the Volvo cab offers a commanding view of the jobsite for optimum safety and precision. The pillar-less forward view puts less steel between the operator and the road.
