Like all BOMAG refuse compactors, the BC472RB features a hydrostatic drive system for superior control and traction. Powered by a 255-horsepower Tier 3 Deutz water-cooled diesel engine, the hydrostatic drive efficiently transfers power and torque to the wheels, providing high pushing power and tractive effort while reducing fuel consumption.

Adjustable scraper bars and wire cutters keep the wheels free of debris, maintaining traction and allowing maximum tooth penetration

Like the larger compactors in the BOMAG line, the BC472RB features a sealed frame and hubs, which protect major drive components and prevent debris from entering the engine compartment and causing inboard fires or other damage.  The compactor has 23 inches of ground clearance and an articulating/oscillating center joint, helping to maintain greater wheel contact, control and maneuverability.  Adjustable scraper bars and wire cutters keep the wheels free of debris, maintaining traction and allowing maximum tooth penetration.

In addition to offering superior compaction to extend landfill lifespan, the BC472RB also reduces maintenance costs and labor.  A standard automatic central lubrication system automatically greases all major joints, eliminating the need for regular manual greasing. The vertically opening hood and lower access door provide complete access to all engine maintenance points.
