The Bomag 05903083 Compensation Tank is a genuine OEM component designed for BC 972 RB, BC 1172 RB, BC 972 RB-2, and BC 1172 RB-2 refuse and landfill compactors. Sourced directly from Bomag, this compensation tank matches the original specifications of the machine it replaces, ensuring a correct, trouble-free installation. Operators running BC-series refuse and landfill compactors can order with confidence knowing this is the same part built into these machines from the factory.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — manufactured to Bomag's original design tolerances, ensuring the tank maintains correct fluid volume buffering and pressure compensation specific to BC-series hydraulic systems
- Direct-Fit Replacement — engineered to match the original mounting configuration and port connections on BC 972 RB, BC 1172 RB, BC 972 RB-2, and BC 1172 RB-2 refuse and landfill compactors
- Confirmed Fitment Coverage — compatible across the BC 972 RB and BC 1172 RB families, including both standard and second-generation RB-2 variants
- Hydraulic System Integrity — a functioning compensation tank keeps hydraulic fluid properly conditioned and prevents pressure spikes that can damage pumps, valves, and actuators in high-demand compaction cycles
- Verified Part Number Traceability — order by Bomag part number 05903083 to confirm you are receiving the correct tank for your machine, eliminating guesswork on the jobsite
A compensation tank serves as the hydraulic system's fluid reservoir buffer, absorbing thermal expansion and maintaining consistent fluid supply to the hydraulic circuit under varying load conditions. On heavy-duty refuse and landfill compactors like the BC 972 RB and BC 1172 RB, where hydraulic demand fluctuates rapidly during compaction passes, this component is critical to stable system pressure and component longevity. When the compensation tank cracks, leaks, or fails, hydraulic pressure becomes erratic, risking pump cavitation and accelerated wear throughout the entire hydraulic circuit.
