The Bomag 05901818 Gear Unit for Travel is a genuine OEM component designed for Bomag BW 141 and BW 151 series tandem rollers, including the BW 141 AD-4, BW 141 AD-4 AM, BW 141 AD-5, BW 141 AD-50, BW 151 AD-4, BW 151 AD-4 AM, BW 151 AD-5, BW 151 AD-5 AM, BW 151 AC-4, BW 151 AC-5, BW 151 AC-50, BW 151 AD-50, BW 170 AD-2 AM, and BW 170 AP AM tandem rollers. Sourced directly from Bomag, this gear unit meets the same engineering standards as the original part it replaces, ensuring a correct, no-compromise installation. Confirm part number 05901818 against your machine's documentation before ordering to ensure full compatibility with your specific model and serial range.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Drivetrain Precision — manufactured to Bomag's exact gear ratio and torque transfer specifications for the travel drive system, so this unit performs identically to the original.
- Direct-Fit Replacement — mounts to the same interface points as the original gear unit, so installation follows the standard service procedure without additional modification to housings or couplings.
- Broad BW 141 and BW 151 Series Coverage — confirmed fitment across BW 141 AD-4, BW 141 AD-5, BW 141 AD-50, BW 151 AD-4, BW 151 AD-5, BW 151 AC-4, BW 151 AC-5, BW 151 AD-50, BW 151 AC-50, BW 170 AD-2 AM, BW 170 AP AM, and AM variants of these tandem rollers.
- Smooth, Controlled Propulsion — a properly functioning travel gear unit delivers consistent speed and traction across both drums, which is critical for achieving uniform compaction passes on asphalt surfaces.
- Prevents Costly Drivetrain Damage — a worn or failing travel gear unit causes erratic roller movement and uneven drum torque; replacing it promptly with a correctly rated OEM unit protects connected drivetrain components from secondary wear.
The Gear Unit for Travel is the mechanical assembly that transmits power from the hydraulic drive system to the roller's drum axle, controlling propulsion speed and direction during compaction passes. It converts hydraulic output into controlled rotational torque at the drum, allowing the operator to manage travel speed precisely across varying surface conditions. When this unit wears or fails, the machine may exhibit sluggish travel response, loss of propulsion in one drum, or uncontrolled movement — all of which compromise compaction quality and operator safety on live paving work.
