All-round visibility for operators on jobsites is the key to Bomag’s new range of single-drum rollers – just some of the parent group’s 25 product launches at bauma 2016.
Well known in the compaction field, BOMAG continues to raise its profile in the paving sector with the launch of another new machine, the BF300 paver. This model replaces the earlier Marini-developed BF331 and is said to be a combination of the best German and Italian engineering as well as sharing some features with the BF600 series launched by BOMAG during last year. Developed for the 7-8tonne class the BF300 is versatile and manoeuvrable and has a transport width of just 2.5m, even including its mounted
BOMAG is offering two new recycling machines to meet the needs of customers. The RS500 has innovative features including a cab that can be raised to improve operator visibility while working, and lowered for transport from site to site. Another important feature of the RS500 recycler is its ability to offset the cutter drum by 300mm to either side. This allows the machine to work close to an edge or kerb and also means that there is no need to turn around on sites with restricted space. The machine is equip

New compaction machines will meet the latest emission standards for Europe and North America while firms from China are also competing globally - Mike Woof writes. The market for compaction equipment has become very competitive in recent years, most notably in the segment for soil compactors. The major US and European firms have developed more productive machines for use in both developed and developing markets. Meanwhile Chinese manufacturers are also competing in the soil compaction segment for the local
