The Bomag 05901308 Gear Unit for Travel is a genuine OEM component designed for Bomag BC-series refuse/landfill compactors and soil compactors, including the BC 671 RB, BC 771 RB, BC 771 RS, BC 772 RB, BC 772 RS, BC 672 RB, BC 772 EB-2, BC 672 EB-2, and related generation variants through the BC 772 EB-4. Sourced directly from Bomag, this gear unit matches the original equipment specification for a straight-forward, dependable installation. Confirm part number 05901308 against your machine's serial plate before ordering to ensure correct fitment across the full range of covered models.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Drivetrain Precision — manufactured to Bomag's exact gear geometry and torque-rating specifications, ensuring the travel drive delivers consistent tractive force under heavy compaction loads.
- Direct-Mount Replacement — engineered to bolt into the original travel drive position on covered BC-series compactors without rework to mounting flanges or hydraulic ports.
- Broad BC-Series Coverage — fits BC 671 RB, BC 771 RB, BC 771 RS, BC 772 RB, BC 772 RS, BC 672 RB, BC 772 RB-2, BC 672 RB-2, BC 772 RS-2, BC 772 EB-2, BC 672 EB-2, BC 772 RB-3, BC 672 RB-3, BC 772 RS-3, BC 772 RB-4, BC 772 RS-4, BC 672 RB-4, and BC 772 EB-4 refuse/landfill compactors and soil compactors.
- Sustained Propulsion Under Load — a properly functioning travel gear unit allows the compactor to maintain controlled ground speed and steering response across the landfill face or soil compaction pass; a worn unit causes slippage, erratic travel, and accelerated hydraulic motor wear.
- Operational Safety Integrity — the travel gear unit is a primary element of machine mobility and brake-load management; using an OEM-specification replacement preserves the intended dynamic braking and hill-holding behavior of the machine.
The Gear Unit for Travel is the final mechanical stage between the hydraulic travel motor and the compactor's drive wheels, converting hydraulic power into controlled rotational force to propel the machine across the compaction site. It governs both forward and reverse travel speed and transfers braking loads when the operator slows or holds position on grade. When the gear unit wears or fails, the compactor may lose tractive effort, exhibit uneven travel response, or become unable to hold its position on sloped terrain — all conditions that interrupt compaction operations and can create safety hazards on an active landfill or earthwork site.
