Boppard, 23 June 2026: With the new BPA 100 and BPA 300 attachment compactors, construction equipment manufacturer BOMAG is expanding its compaction technology portfolio with high-performance solutions for excavator applications. The hydraulically driven add-on attachments turn an excavator into a versatile compaction tool—particularly where rollers or vibratory plates can only be used to a limited extent, such as in trenches or on embankments.
By adding attachment compactors for excavators, BOMAG is taking a logical next step: as an established supplier in compaction technology, the company is broadening its range with an attachment solution that extends existing compaction concepts to further applications—above all where compaction is performed by the carrier machine.
The BPA 100 and BPA 300 models are designed for the efficient compaction of small to medium-sized areas, including trench work, path and road construction and landscaping. They are suitable for sand, gravel, crushed rock and cohesive soils, and deliver uniform compaction with pronounced depth penetration.
Two variants are available for different carrier machines: the BPA 100 is designed for excavators with an operating weight of 5–12 tons, and generates a maximum centrifugal force of 55 kN. The BPA 300 is suited to excavators with an operating weight of 14–32 tons. It uses a circular vibratory system with two amplitude settings and delivers up to 110 kN of centrifugal force.
Both attachment compactors are compatible with common mechanical and hydraulic coupling systems and can be fitted with an optional rotator. One particular design feature is the positioning of the stop buffers: alongside spot compaction, this also makes the attachment compactor suitable for 'drag compaction'. This means the compactor is moved across the ground in a continuous pulling motion. At the same time, the stop buffers reduce the risk of damage caused by excessive contact pressure during operation.
When working in trenches, on slopes or in hard-to-reach areas, compaction can be carried out using the excavator without operators needing to be in the immediate working area. And as the carrier machine does the work, operators are no longer directly exposed to the exhaust emissions of conventional hand-guided compaction machines.
