The new rubber tyred compactor from BOMAG offers improved productivity
BOMAG says that its new BW 28 RH pneumatic roller offers improved performance, with easily adjustable ballasting, an ergonomic cabin and high productivity.


The front end of the BW 28 RH is designed for better visibility of the wheel surface, allowing the operator to check whether the wheels are sufficiently wet to prevent asphalt from sticking.

The clear view of the work area also boosts efficiency as it is possible to work accurately to asphalt edges or joints. The BW 28 RH is said to boost versatility due to the range of ballasting options offered by the pneumatic tyred roller. It is available with operating weights from 8.6-28tonnes and can be adjusted quickly and simply to the respective task. Its steel and concrete weights can easily slide in or out. In addition, the 3m³ capacity ballast compartment can be used for custom ballasting. By changing the operating weight, it is possible to first compact the base layer and then the binder or wearing course of a road, or process construction sites with different applications.

Overall the machine is said to be able to handle a wide variety of tasks in earthworks and asphalt paving, the compaction of stabilised soil layers and rolling chippings on surface treatment work.

    New generation wheeled pavers aimed at use in territories such as the UK, Italy, South Africa and Southern Germany are now coming to market. Pavers in these countries are often expected to be driven from one part of a site to another or for short distances, which is why the additional mobility of the wheeled machine is preferred in many instances over similarly-sized tracked models. This preference for wheeled units comes in spite of the greater stability offered by tracked machines. BOMAG, Caterpillar and
