Boppard, 9 April 2019. At bauma 2019, BOMAG will present trial studies on Light Equipment with electric drives. A unique feature of BOMAG’s battery-operated Light Equipment is that the battery is carried on the operator’s back – like a rucksack with an ergonomic carrying frame. A quick-change system allows operation of either a tamper or a vibratory plate with the same battery, significantly reducing the cost of purchasing electrical equipment. The use of an electric motor, on the other hand, completely eliminates exhaust gases. At the same time, the operation and maintenance of electrical equipment is even easier than with combustion engines.
