The Bomag 51200801 Travel Lever is a genuine OEM component designed for BW 172 D-2, BW 142 D-2, and BW 212 D-2 single drum rollers. Sourced directly from Bomag, this travel lever delivers an exact match to the original specification, ensuring proper mechanical engagement with the machine's propulsion controls. If your roller is showing sluggish response, imprecise directional control, or a worn or damaged lever assembly, replacing it with the correct OEM part restores the operator interface to its original working condition. Verify your model against part number 51200801 before ordering to confirm compatibility.
Key Features
- OEM-Grade Control Integrity — manufactured to Bomag's original specification, ensuring the lever delivers the correct mechanical travel, engagement feel, and positional feedback expected by operators on these single drum rollers
- Direct-Fit Replacement — engineered to match the original mounting points and linkage geometry, so this travel lever installs into the control assembly without modification
- Confirmed Fitment — fits Bomag BW 172 D-2, BW 142 D-2, and BW 212 D-2 single drum rollers; cross-reference part number 51200801 with your machine's service documentation before ordering
- Restored Propulsion Control — a correctly functioning travel lever provides smooth, responsive directional input; a worn or failed lever can result in erratic machine movement, operator fatigue, and loss of precise speed control on grade
- Operator Safety Relevance — the travel lever is a primary operator control; using a properly rated OEM replacement maintains the correct actuation force and travel range, reducing the risk of unintended machine movement
The travel lever is the primary operator input that controls the forward and reverse propulsion of the single drum roller. It connects mechanically to the hydrostatic drive circuit, translating lever position into directional travel speed — push forward for forward travel, pull back for reverse. When the lever wears, bends, or loses its detent feel, the operator loses precise control over machine movement, which can affect compaction pass accuracy and site safety. Replacing a damaged travel lever promptly keeps the machine's drive response sharp and predictable under working conditions.
