The Bomag 57300752 Engine Hood is a genuine OEM replacement built for BC 972 RB-2 and BC 1172 RB-2 refuse and landfill compactors. Sourced directly from Bomag, this engine hood matches the original in dimensions, mounting points, and material grade — ensuring a clean, correct installation without modification. It is confirmed compatible with both the BC 972 RB-2 and BC 1172 RB-2, making it the straightforward choice when your compactor's hood is damaged, corroded, or due for replacement.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — manufactured to Bomag's original design specifications, with the material thickness and finish grade expected on heavy-duty refuse and landfill compactors operating in demanding environments
- Direct-Fit Replacement — mounts to the existing hardware and hinge points on BC 972 RB-2 and BC 1172 RB-2 compactors, aligning with original body lines and latching hardware
- Confirmed Fitment — verified for BC 972 RB-2 and BC 1172 RB-2 refuse and landfill compactors; use part number 57300752 to confirm before ordering
- Engine Protection — a correctly fitted hood shields the engine compartment from debris, waste material, and weather exposure common on landfill and transfer station worksites, helping maintain safe operating temperatures and cleanliness
- Operator Safety — a structurally sound, properly latching hood keeps personnel clear of rotating engine components and hot surfaces during machine operation, meeting the original safety design intent
The engine hood on a refuse and landfill compactor serves as the primary protective enclosure for the power unit, shielding the engine from the extreme debris, waste material, and impact hazards present on landfill and transfer station sites. A damaged or ill-fitting hood can compromise engine cooling airflow, expose critical components to contamination, and create a safety hazard for operators working near the machine. Replacing a worn or broken hood with a correctly fitted OEM unit restores the enclosure's protective function and ensures the engine compartment remains properly sealed during operation.
