The Bomag 05800973 Tandem Pump is a genuine OEM Tandem Pump designed for BC 972 RB and BC 1172 RB series refuse and landfill compactors. Sourced directly from Bomag, this component meets the original engineering specifications for these heavy-duty machines. This tandem pump is the correct replacement for 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. Ordering by part number 05800973 ensures you receive the exact unit your machine calls for — no guesswork, no sourcing risk.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Hydraulic Precision — manufactured to Bomag's original flow-rate and pressure specifications for the dual-circuit hydraulic system on these refuse compactors, ensuring the pump delivers the output your machine was engineered around
- Direct-Fit Replacement — engineered to match the original mounting configuration and port orientation of the BC 972 RB and BC 1172 RB series, allowing a straightforward swap without custom adaptation
- Full Series Coverage — compatible with all generation variants of the BC 972 RB and BC 1172 RB, including RB-2, RB-3, and RB-4 builds, making part number 05800973 the single correct answer across the entire RB lineup in these two size classes
- Restored Hydraulic Drive Performance — a worn or failing tandem pump causes sluggish travel, loss of compaction force, and erratic steering response; replacing it with this OEM unit restores the hydraulic output the machine depends on for productive landfill compaction
- Operational Safety Under Load — hydraulic pump failure on a refuse compactor operating on landfill terrain creates serious control and stability risks; using the correct OEM pump maintains predictable hydraulic response in demanding, high-load conditions
A tandem pump combines two hydraulic pump sections within a single housing, driven by a shared input shaft. On BC 972 RB and BC 1172 RB refuse and landfill compactors, this arrangement supplies hydraulic flow to multiple circuits simultaneously — typically the drive system and the working hydraulics — allowing the machine to travel and compact without interruption between functions. When the tandem pump wears or fails, flow to one or both circuits drops, resulting in reduced travel speed, weak compaction force, overheating, and potential loss of steering control. Replacing this component with the correct OEM part restores full dual-circuit hydraulic capacity and keeps the compactor operating safely under the extreme loads typical of landfill work.
