The Bomag 05903817 Oil Cooler is a genuine OEM component designed for BC 1172 RB-3 and BC 972 RB-3 refuse and landfill compactors. Sourced directly from Bomag, this oil cooler matches the original unit in form and function, ensuring a drop-in installation with no guesswork on compatibility. This part is the correct replacement for operators and fleet managers maintaining BC-series refuse compactors running in demanding landfill applications.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Thermal Management — manufactured by Bomag to the exact cooling capacity and porting specifications of the original oil cooler, so hydraulic and engine oil temperatures stay within the operating range these machines demand
- Direct-Fit Replacement — mounting points, inlet and outlet connections, and core dimensions match the factory unit on BC 1172 RB-3 and BC 972 RB-3 compactors, supporting a straightforward swap during scheduled maintenance or emergency replacement
- Verified Fitment — confirmed for BC 1172 RB-3 and BC 972 RB-3 refuse and landfill compactors; reference part number 05903817 when ordering to ensure an exact match
- Protects High-Load Drive Systems — landfill compactors run continuous heavy-duty cycles that push hydraulic systems hard; a properly functioning oil cooler prevents overheating that leads to seal degradation, fluid breakdown, and costly drivetrain damage
- Authentic Bomag Quality — as a genuine OEM part, the oil cooler meets Bomag's material and pressure ratings for the BC-series platform, giving you confidence in long-term durability under the punishing conditions of refuse compaction work
An oil cooler regulates the temperature of hydraulic and engine oil by transferring heat away from the fluid as it circulates through the system. On heavy refuse and landfill compactors like the BC 1172 RB-3 and BC 972 RB-3, the hydraulic system works under sustained high load — pushing and steering the machine across uneven waste material for extended shifts. When the oil cooler becomes clogged, corroded, or fails, fluid temperatures climb rapidly, accelerating wear on pumps, motors, valves, and seals throughout the machine. Replacing a damaged or degraded oil cooler promptly is one of the most effective ways to protect the broader hydraulic system and keep the compactor operating through a full work cycle.
