The Bomag 05901002 Gear Unit for Travel is a genuine OEM component designed for BC-series refuse/landfill compactors and soil compactors, including the BC 472 RB, BC 472 RS, BC 462 EB, BC 462 RB, BC 473 RB-4, BC 473 RS-4, BC 473 EB-4, BC 473 RB-3, and BC 473 EB-3. Sourced directly from Bomag, this gear unit matches the original specification for a direct, hassle-free installation. Confirming part number 05901002 against your machine's service documentation before ordering ensures the correct fit for your specific compactor variant.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Gear Integrity — manufactured to Bomag's original torque and gear-ratio specifications, ensuring the travel drive performs exactly as designed for heavy compaction duty
- Direct-Mount Replacement — engineered to the same mounting interface and output flange dimensions as the original, allowing straightforward installation without modification
- Broad BC-Series Coverage — fits BC 472 RB, BC 472 RS, BC 462 EB, BC 462 RB, BC 473 RB-4, BC 473 RS-4, BC 473 EB-4, BC 473 RB-3, and BC 473 EB-3 compactors across both refuse/landfill and soil compactor variants
- Sustained Propulsion Output — a correctly functioning travel gear unit delivers consistent wheel speed and tractive force across the full operating cycle; a worn or damaged unit causes sluggish travel, loss of drive, and uneven compaction coverage
The Gear Unit for Travel is the primary power-transmission component that converts hydraulic motor output into controlled wheel rotation, propelling the compactor across the working surface. It governs travel speed and pulling force, making it essential to the machine's ability to maneuver on site and maintain consistent compaction passes. When this unit wears out or fails internally, the compactor may lose traction, exhibit erratic speed, or become unable to drive under load — all of which interrupt productive compaction work and can place additional strain on connected drivetrain components.
