Sourced directly from Bomag, this unit carries the same part number and specification as the original component installed at the factory, ensuring an exact match for your machine. This gear unit for travel is the correct direct replacement when the original unit shows signs of wear, slippage, or loss of drive response. If you are servicing a BW 174 or BW 170 AD-2-series tandem roller, confirming part number 05901203 against your machine's serial plate guarantees you are ordering the right unit for the job.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Precision — Manufactured to Bomag's exact torque-transfer and gear-ratio specifications for tandem roller travel drives, so output performance matches what the machine was built to deliver.
- Drop-In Replacement — Retains the original mounting interface and connection points, allowing the unit to seat directly in place of the worn component without additional machining or adaptation.
- Broad BW 174 and BW 170 AD-2 Coverage — Confirmed fitment across BW 174 AD-2 AM, BW 174 AD-2, BW 174 AC-2, BW 174 AC-2 AM, and BW 170 AD-2 AM tandem rollers.
- Restored Drive Responsiveness — A worn travel gear unit causes sluggish propulsion, uneven roller speed, and difficulty maintaining consistent paving passes; replacing it with this unit restores smooth, predictable machine movement.
- Verified Part Number — Order with confidence knowing part number 05901203 is the authoritative Bomag reference for this application, eliminating guesswork during procurement.
The gear unit for travel is the core power-transmission component responsible for converting hydraulic or mechanical input into the rotational force that propels the tandem roller across the work surface. It governs travel speed, directional response, and the consistency of drum movement during compaction passes. When this unit begins to fail — through internal gear wear, seal degradation, or loss of engagement — the operator will notice reduced propulsion, erratic speed changes, or a complete loss of drive, all of which compromise compaction quality and bring production to a halt. Replacing the unit with the genuine Bomag 05901203 restores full drive capability and keeps the roller performing to its rated specification.
