Product Gallery: Introducing the BOMAG BW 177 BVO-5 PL Roller

With oscillation technology, the new BW 177 BVO-5 PL roller from BOMAG, Ridgeway, South Carolina, handles sensitive compaction work close to buildings and over pipelines. The single-drum roller is part of BOMAG’s roller Performance Line and features three compaction modes—high and low amplitudes plus oscillation. Its dual pump system plus self-locking differential allows the machine to achieve up to 60% gradeability in forward and reverse. Its articulating/oscillating joint provides +/- 12º oscillation, ensuring the drum stays in contact with material when working in poor underfoot conditions.

Leveraging ECOMODE operation, the new single drum roller keeps the engine running at the optimum RPM range at all times for up to 30% fuel savings, according to the manufacturer. Further helping to reduce fuel consumption and lower wear costs, available BOMAG ECOSTOP technology automatically switches off the engine after 5 to 15 minutes of idling with shut-off time adjustable by the operator.
