The Bomag 72400173 Horn is a genuine OEM Horn designed for the BPH 80/65 S reversible vibratory plate and BMP 851 and BMP 8500 trench compactors. As a factory-sourced component, this horn meets Bomag's original design and output specifications, ensuring a drop-in replacement with no guesswork on compatibility. This part is the correct choice when servicing the audible warning system on any of these covered machines.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Sound Output — sourced directly from Bomag, this horn delivers the correct audible output level and tone specified for these machines, not a generic approximation
- Direct-Fit Replacement — engineered to the original mounting configuration and electrical connection of the BPH 80/65 S, BMP 851, and BMP 8500, so installation follows the same procedure as the factory-fitted unit
- Confirmed Fitment — verified for the BPH 80/65 S reversible vibratory plate and BMP 851 and BMP 8500 trench compactors under part number 72400173
- Operational Safety Compliance — a functioning horn is a required audible warning device on compaction equipment operating around personnel; replacing a failed unit with the correct OEM part keeps the machine compliant with worksite safety expectations
- Corrosion-Resistant Construction — built to withstand the vibration, dust, and moisture exposure typical of compaction equipment operating in trench and ground-preparation environments
The horn is the machine's primary audible warning device, used to alert ground workers and bystanders during operation. On compaction equipment like reversible vibratory plates and trench compactors, where the operator's field of view can be limited and ambient noise levels are high, a properly functioning horn is essential for safe site communication. When the horn fails — whether due to electrical fault, moisture ingress, or physical damage from vibration — the machine loses its warning capability, creating a worksite safety gap that should be addressed promptly with the correct replacement part.
