The Bomag 05834111 Float Switch is a genuine OEM component designed for BC 972 RB, BC 972 RB-2, BC 972 RB-3, BC 1172 RB, BC 1172 RB-2, and BC 1172 RB-3 refuse and landfill compactors. Sourced directly from Bomag, this float switch delivers an exact OEM match in form, fit, and electrical function — no guesswork on compatibility. It is the correct service replacement for any BC-series refuse compactor in this lineup showing fluid-level sensing faults or switch failure.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Sensing Accuracy — manufactured to Bomag's original switching threshold and electrical specifications, ensuring the fluid-level signal your compactor's control system expects
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — matches the original mounting configuration and connector interface, allowing straightforward installation without modification
- Broad BC-Series Coverage — fits BC 972 RB, BC 972 RB-2, BC 972 RB-3, BC 1172 RB, BC 1172 RB-2, and BC 1172 RB-3 refuse and landfill compactors
- Protects Critical Fluid Systems — a correctly functioning float switch prevents the machine from operating with dangerously low fluid levels, safeguarding pumps and hydraulic components from dry-run damage
- Electrical Safety Compliance — as an OEM part, this switch meets the original circuit protection and signaling requirements built into Bomag's machine safety architecture
A float switch monitors the fluid level inside a reservoir or tank and sends an electrical signal to the machine's control system when that level drops below a safe threshold. On BC-series refuse and landfill compactors, this alert allows the operator or system to take action before a pump, hydraulic circuit, or cooling system suffers damage from running dry. When the float switch fails or sticks, the machine may either ignore a genuine low-level condition — risking serious component damage — or trigger false alarms that interrupt productive operation. Replacing a faulty switch promptly with a genuine Bomag part restores accurate fluid-level monitoring and keeps the compactor running safely.
