These compactors are engineered to tackle the challenges of modern landfill sites, offering superior productivity, low operating costs, and excellent serviceability.
Achieving optimum compaction through even material distribution, BOMAG compactors enhance the lifespan of landfill sites. Every additional cubic meter gained directly translates to increased profitability. The BOMAG design features wheel geometry, scrapers, and uniform ground contact, while the machine's weight further optimizes compaction results.
Precision handling, high pushing power, and excellent traction come as standard on all BOMAG refuse compactors. The easy-to-use joystick provides excellent operational accuracy, while the smooth hydrostatic drive efficiently converts the engine’s power into high drive force. The load limit control automatically adjusts travel speed to ensure optimal power usage. A standout feature is the oscillating articulated joint, allowing for a 15° oscillation and 40° steering between the front and rear frames, ensuring all wheels maintain ground contact for maximum traction and compaction.
