The latest addition to the Volvo Construction Equipment soil compaction range, the SD70 is a soil compactor designed to deliver premium performance at a value price. A new 66” roller in the 7-ton class for Volvo, the SD70 delivers the same outstanding drum performance as the SD75, combined with a streamlined design optimized with cost efficiency in mind. With simplified features ideal for rental fleets, low fuel consumption and strong residual value, the SD70 keeps costs down and uptime high. Designed for easy servicing and complemented by CareTrack telematics and Volvo’s standard lifetime frame guarantee, the SD70 represents a solid investment for value-driven operations.
- Value-focused alternative to SD 75: Same general size class and performance intent, but without some premium features (e.g., Compact Assist) to hit a lower price point for value-conscious buyers and rental fleets.
- Simple, intuitive operation: Operator interface and controls are laid out so a new operator can learn the basics in under a minute and “look like an expert” quickly, reducing training time.
- Versatile drum configurations: Available with a smooth drum, dedicated padfoot drum, or clamp-on shell that converts a smooth drum into a padfoot-style drum for cohesive soils (e.g., clays, including dense red clay).
- Excellent visibility: “Wide open” sightlines from the operator’s seat, with a clear view of the entire drum surface and the tires, improving control, safety, and confidence in varying terrain.
- Parts compatibility with SD 75: Parts commonality across Volvo's soil compaction range: The padfoot shell kit is the same for the SD75 and SD70, while heavy-duty components like the drum, engine, axle and motors are the same as other models, making it easier for fleets with Volvo SD45 and SD75 rollers to add the SD70 without duplicating accessories and parts needed.
