The Bomag 05851433 Fork is a genuine OEM component designed for BC 972 RB and BC 1172 RB refuse and landfill compactors. Sourced directly from Bomag, this fork delivers the exact dimensions and material grade specified for these heavy-duty machines. Confirmed fitment for BC 972 RB and BC 1172 RB compactors means you can order with confidence and get your machine back to work without guesswork.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — manufactured to Bomag's original material and dimensional specifications, ensuring the structural integrity demanded by refuse and landfill compactor duty cycles
- Direct OEM Replacement — engineered to the same geometry as the original, so this fork installs directly into the existing mounting without rework or adapters
- Confirmed Compactor Fitment — validated for BC 972 RB and BC 1172 RB refuse and landfill compactors, covering Bomag's large-frame RB compactor line
- Sustained Linkage Performance — a correctly fitted fork maintains precise articulation and load transfer throughout the compactor's working range; a worn or damaged fork introduces play that accelerates wear on connected components
- Verified Part Number Traceability — ordering by Bomag part number 05851433 ensures you receive the exact component matched to your machine's design, eliminating the risk of fitment errors
A fork is a pivoting linkage component that connects two mechanical members and allows controlled rotational or articulation movement between them. In a large refuse and landfill compactor like the BC 972 RB and BC 1172 RB, this type of component is subjected to continuous high-cycle stress as the machine traverses uneven terrain and processes compacted material. When a fork becomes worn, cracked, or develops excessive play, it compromises the precision of the connected assembly, which can lead to accelerated wear on adjacent pins, bearings, and structural members. Replacing it with a genuine Bomag OEM part restores the original clearances and keeps the drivetrain or linkage system operating as designed.
