The Bomag 05901266 Supporting Axle is a genuine OEM replacement designed for BC 972 RB, BC 972 RB-2, BC 1172 RB, and BC 1172 RB-2 refuse and landfill compactors. Sourced directly from Bomag, this supporting axle matches the original component specification, ensuring a correct, hassle-free installation. Whether you are restoring a machine to full working order or completing a planned service, ordering by part number 05901266 guarantees you receive the right part for your compactor.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — manufactured to Bomag's original design tolerances, delivering the structural integrity and load-bearing capacity expected of a heavy-duty refuse and landfill compactor axle component
- Direct Bolt-In Replacement — engineered to the same dimensions and interface specifications as the original, allowing this supporting axle to seat and secure exactly as the factory component did
- Broad BC-Series Coverage — fits BC 972 RB, BC 972 RB-2, BC 1172 RB, and BC 1172 RB-2 refuse and landfill compactors, covering both standard and second-generation variants across the family
- Maintains Structural Stability — a correctly fitted supporting axle keeps compactor wheel assemblies properly aligned and load-transferring; a worn or failed axle compromises machine handling and accelerates wear on surrounding components
- Verified by Part Number — cross-referencing part number 05901266 against your machine's serial plate confirms fitment accuracy before the part ships, eliminating costly return delays on large-machine components
The supporting axle is a structural load-bearing component within the wheel or drum mounting assembly of the compactor, transferring the machine's considerable operating weight and compaction forces between the frame and the ground-contact elements. On refuse and landfill compactors like the BC 972 RB and BC 1172 RB series, these components endure continuous stress from uneven terrain, heavy debris, and sustained high-load cycles. When a supporting axle wears, cracks, or fails, the result is misalignment of the wheel assembly, uneven compaction, and potential damage to bearings, seals, and adjacent structural members — making prompt replacement essential to keeping the machine safe and productive.
