BOMAG's study of emission-free Light Equipment machines completely eliminates exhaust fumes. This allows users of hand-guided compaction equipment to use it even in poorly ventilated spaces, such as for earth compaction in deep trenches, or to work in enclosed spaces like in car parks. The use of low-emission or even zero-emission electrical equipment is becoming increasingly popular, especially on inner-city construction sites. The real highlight of the study on electric hand-held compaction equipment such as tampers or vibratory plates, however, is on the operator's back: The battery is not integrated in the machine, but carried as a backpack. The operator can use it to power either an electric tamper or an electric vibratory plate. Because the battery constitutes a large part of the capital outlay, the externally carried power unit reduces acquisition costs. Furthermore, several Light Equipment machines can be universally supplied with power by means of an exchangeable rechargeable battery. The battery features a quick-change system so that no time is lost when switching between the electric Light Equipment machines. The power source is plugged from one machine to the other in an instant. In addition, the operation and, above all, maintenance of electrical devices is generally easier. For recharging, the battery is simply connected to the mains. At BOMAG, designing construction machines that are optimally tailored to customer requirements is part of the company's philosophy. This is why BOMAG pursues new developments in close cooperation with its customers. BOMAG looks forward to discussing the opportunities and benefits of electrically powered Light Equipment with its customers at bauma 2019.
