Boppard, 17.09.2024: BOMAG presents the new BW 177 BVO-5 PL single drum roller. This powerful and versatile machine is ideal for a wide range of soil compaction applications on small and medium-sized construction sites. Compaction with oscillation technology makes it particularly suitable for use on challenging subgrades or for sensitive compaction work close to buildings.

Versatility at the highest level

The BW 177 BVO-5 PL single drum roller stands out for its versatile areas of application. With three adjustable compaction modes – oscillation, low amplitude and high amplitude – the machine is equipped for a wide range of construction site requirements. While the high amplitude mode allows for impressive deep compaction, and easily handles layer thicknesses of up to 50 cm on gravel and sand and 40 cm on mixed soils, the oscillation mode ensures gentle but effective compaction on sensitive areas. This makes the BW 177 BVO-5 PL the perfect choice not only for standard earthworks but also for work over pipelines or near buildings.

Easy operation for maximum efficiency

The BW 177 BVO-5 PL is designed to be particularly user-friendly. A simple rotary switch allows the machine operator to switch effortlessly between compaction modes and adapt the machine's performance to the respective site conditions. This intuitive operation enables quick and efficient work without the driver having to make complex settings. Operator comfort is maintained even over long working hours thanks to the ergonomically designed cab, ensuring fatigue-free work and providing the operator with an optimum overview of the working area.

Smart engine technology for maximum efficiency

The BW 177 BVO-5 PL incorporates ECOMODE technology, providing smart speed control that reduces fuel consumption by up to 30% while significantly reducing noise emissions. In addition, BOMAG offers the optional ECOSTOP system, which further minimises fuel consumption and wear. This advanced engine technology helps cut operating costs and environmental impact without compromising the machine's performance.

High compaction performance even under difficult conditions

The 177 BVO-5 PL is designed for demanding jobs, and offers impressive compaction performance, even in tough conditions. Thanks to its double pump technology, the machine achieves gradeability of up to 60%, both forwards and backwards, while ensuring optimal traction at all times. This makes the single drum roller a reliable and powerful machine, even on steep terrain and challenging surfaces.

Ease of servicing as a key success factor

The BW 177 BVO-5 PL is designed for easy maintenance. With its "Easy Service" concept, BOMAG aims to minimise service points and make necessary maintenance work as simple as possible. For example, the single drum roller has no lubrication points, and all important components, such as the dipstick, filter and filling points, are easily accessible from the ground. The rubber buffers on the drum can also be replaced without dismantling frame parts.
