BOMAG Americas, Ridgeway, South Carolina, had a number of announcements in first quarter 2026, including that Mid South Machinery is its new full line equipment dealer for the state of Mississippi. Mid South now provides its customers with sales, rental, service and parts support for BOMAG’s full range of asphalt distribution and compaction, paving, milling, and recycling/stabilizing equipment, single drum rollers and soil compactors, and landfill compactors. Mid South supports its customers from three strategic locations—Tupelo in the north, Hattiesburg in the south and its central Mississippi headquarters in Jackson.
BOMAG also announced in February the launch of a new BP Series line of six gas-engine plate compactors. These are the BP 10/30, BP 12/35, BP 12/50, BP 15/40, BP 20/45 and BP 25/50, and they offer compaction widths from 12.6 inches to 19.7 inches. An additional cyclone filter on BP 15/40, BP 20/45 and BP 25/50 models precleans intake air to reduce the amount of dust reaching the main filter to increase the engine’s service life.
Mid South Machinery in Mississippi will now provide its customers with sales, rental, service and parts support for BOMAG’s full range of asphalt equipment.
While delivering high compaction forces on sand, gravel, and mixed, non-cohesive soils, these single direction plates are easy on the operator, according to the manufacturer. The guide handle offers maneuverability right up to walls and directly on foundations. When it’s time to leave the job site, the handle quickly folds without tools to take up less room for transport. The new BP series can be customized with BOMAG transport wheels to help move about the site or from site to site. The wheels fold up and out of the way when the compactor is in use.
For asphalt applications, contractors can equip the machine with BOMAG’s spray bar kit, featuring a large capacity tank with wide opening for easy filling. The kit sprays water directly across the entire plate width, preventing asphalt material from sticking to the plate.
