The Bomag 05851480 Fork is a genuine OEM replacement built for BC 972 RB, BC 972 RB-2, and BC 1172 RB-2 refuse and landfill compactors. Sourced directly from Bomag, this fork delivers an exact match to the original component, ensuring seamless installation without guesswork. It is the correct replacement for operators and fleet managers who demand original-quality parts to keep their heavy compaction equipment running at full capacity.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — manufactured to Bomag's original specifications, ensuring the same material grade, geometry, and load-bearing capability as the part it replaces
- Direct-Fit Replacement — engineered to align with the existing mounting points on BC-series refuse and landfill compactors, dropping in cleanly with no rework required
- Confirmed Fitment — compatible with BC 972 RB, BC 972 RB-2, and BC 1172 RB-2 refuse and landfill compactors; use part number 05851480 to verify your application before ordering
- Structural Integrity Under Demanding Conditions — landfill compactors operate in punishing environments where forks are subjected to constant impact and stress; an OEM fork maintains the structural strength needed to handle these loads cycle after cycle
- Protects Surrounding Components — a worn or damaged fork can place undue stress on adjacent linkage and frame components; replacing it promptly with a correctly rated OEM part helps preserve the integrity of the broader assembly
The fork is a critical structural and mechanical linkage component on refuse and landfill compactors, transmitting force and guiding movement within the machine's operating system. On heavy BC-series compactors working across landfill and waste-processing sites, the fork is exposed to severe impact loads, abrasive debris, and continuous mechanical stress. When a fork becomes bent, cracked, or excessively worn, it compromises the machine's ability to operate precisely and safely, and continued use can accelerate wear on connected components. Replacing it with a genuine Bomag fork restores correct function and protects the broader drivetrain and linkage assembly.
