The Bomag 05901313 Gear Unit for Travel is a genuine OEM component designed for the BC 972 RB refuse/landfill compactor. Sourced directly from Bomag, this gear unit delivers an exact match to the original assembly, ensuring correct torque transmission and drive response on the machine. Confirmed fitment for the BC 972 RB makes this the right choice for operators who need a dependable, spec-correct replacement without guesswork.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Gear Integrity — manufactured to Bomag's original torque and load-bearing specifications, so the travel drive performs exactly as engineered for heavy refuse compaction cycles
- Direct-Fit Replacement — engineered to bolt into the BC 972 RB drive system with the same mounting configuration and interface dimensions as the original unit
- Confirmed BC 972 RB Fitment — verified for the BC 972 RB refuse/landfill compactor, eliminating compatibility uncertainty on a high-value driveline component
- Restored Travel Drive Performance — a worn or failed travel gear unit causes loss of propulsion, erratic ground speed, or complete drive failure; this replacement restores full, controlled machine movement
- Critical Driveline Safety — a compromised travel gear unit on a large compactor creates serious maneuverability and braking risks; replacing with a genuine OEM unit keeps the machine operating safely under load
The gear unit for travel is a core component of the machine's propulsion system, transferring power from the hydraulic drive motor to the wheels or drum to move the compactor across the work surface. On a refuse/landfill compactor like the BC 972 RB, this unit operates under extreme cyclic loads and must maintain consistent torque delivery across rough, uneven terrain. When the gear unit wears or fails, the machine loses the ability to propel itself reliably — resulting in reduced productivity, potential damage to connected driveline components, and safety hazards on the landfill face.
