BOMAG’s revamped BF 800 paver offers new capabilities

New operating features for the 172 BOMAG BF 800 C-2 paver are said to help increase its output and efficiency when working onsite. An important development is the new traffic light system, which helps improve communications between the paver operator and the asphalt delivery truck driver.
