The Bomag 72310179 Assembled Travel Motor is a genuine OEM component designed for the BMP 8500 trench compactor. Sourced directly from Bomag, this assembled travel motor meets the original engineering specifications for the BMP 8500, ensuring the unit installs as a complete, ready-to-fit replacement with no assembly of internal components required. If your BMP 8500 is experiencing drive loss, sluggish propulsion, or motor failure, this is the correct OEM-specified replacement to restore full machine operation.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Hydraulic Motor Assembly — supplied fully assembled to Bomag's original hydraulic and mechanical specifications, ensuring correct displacement, port sizing, and internal clearances for the BMP 8500 drive system
- Complete Drop-In Replacement — delivered as a fully assembled unit, matching the original mounting configuration and hydraulic connections of the BMP 8500 travel drive
- Verified Fitment for the BMP 8500 — confirmed compatibility with the BMP 8500 trench compactor; cross-reference part number 72310179 before ordering to confirm your application
- Restores Full Propulsion Performance — a worn or failed travel motor causes loss of drive force, uneven compaction passes, or complete mobility failure; this replacement brings the machine back to full operational capacity
- Hydraulic System Integrity — as a critical component in the BMP 8500's hydraulic drive circuit, a correctly spec'd travel motor prevents excessive heat, pressure loss, and downstream damage to the hydraulic system
The travel motor is the hydraulic component responsible for converting fluid pressure from the machine's hydraulic system into rotational force that drives the BMP 8500's wheels or tracks forward and in reverse. On a remote-controlled trench compactor like the BMP 8500, reliable travel motor performance is essential — the machine must maneuver precisely in confined trench environments under load. When a travel motor begins to fail, symptoms include reduced drive speed, one-sided pulling, overheating hydraulic fluid, or complete loss of propulsion, any of which can halt compaction operations entirely.
