The Bomag 57300552 Hood is a genuine OEM replacement built for BC 972 RB and BC 1172 RB series refuse and landfill compactors. Sourced directly from Bomag, this hood carries the same part number and construction as the original, ensuring it fits and functions exactly as designed. It is compatible across multiple generation variants of both compactor families, including the BC 972 RB, BC 972 RB-2, BC 972 RB-3, BC 972 RB-4, BC 1172 RB, BC 1172 RB-2, BC 1172 RB-3, and BC 1172 RB-4.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — manufactured to Bomag's original material and dimensional standards, so this hood fits with the same panel alignment and closure tolerances as the part it replaces
- Direct-Fit Replacement — matches original mounting points and hardware interfaces on supported BC-series refuse and landfill compactors, allowing straightforward swap-out without modification
- Broad Generation Coverage — fits BC 972 RB, BC 972 RB-2, BC 972 RB-3, BC 972 RB-4, BC 1172 RB, BC 1172 RB-2, BC 1172 RB-3, and BC 1172 RB-4 refuse and landfill compactors
- Engine Bay Protection — a properly fitted hood shields engine and hydraulic components from debris, dust, and impact that are common in landfill and refuse compaction environments
- Verified Part Number — ordering by Bomag part number 57300552 confirms you receive the correct hood for your machine generation, eliminating guesswork on multi-variant equipment
The hood on a heavy compactor serves as the primary protective enclosure over the engine compartment, guarding critical powertrain and hydraulic components from the harsh operating conditions found on refuse and landfill sites. A damaged or missing hood exposes the engine to debris, moisture, and impact that can accelerate wear and lead to more serious mechanical failures. Replacing a cracked, bent, or broken hood promptly restores that protection and helps keep the machine running through demanding compaction cycles.
