BOMAG has unveiled the BW 177 BVO-5 PL, a state-of-the-art single drum roller designed to enhance compaction efficiency for small to medium-sized construction projects. Packed with advanced technology, fuel-saving features, and an operator-friendly design, this machine promises higher productivity, cost efficiency, and ease of maintenance.
Powerful Performance on Steep Slopes
The BW 177 BVO-5 PL is built to handle challenging terrains with 60% gradeability, thanks to its dual pump system and self-locking differential. Whether moving forward or in reverse, it maintains steady compaction on steep slopes, making it a reliable choice for hilly and uneven job sites.
Three Compaction Modes for Versatility
To ensure optimal results across different soil types and construction needs, the roller features three adjustable compaction modes:
✔ High Amplitude – Ideal for compacting tough materials like rock fill.
✔ Low Amplitude – Designed for delicate compaction tasks.
✔ Oscillation Mode – Perfect for granular and mixed soils, making it suitable for pipeline backfills and construction near buildings.
Additionally, an optional padfoot segment kit can be added for better compaction of silt and clay materials.
Fuel Efficiency and Cost Savings
The ECOMODE technology optimizes engine RPM, reducing fuel consumption by up to 30%, while the ECOSTOP feature automatically shuts off the engine after 5-15 minutes of idling, helping extend engine life and lower operating costs.
User-Friendly Operation & Operator Comfort
The BW 177 BVO-5 PL is designed with ease of use in mind:
✅ Simple Controls – A rotary dial allows operators to switch between compaction modes effortlessly.
✅ Spacious Cabin – Ensures comfort for long shifts with excellent job-site visibility.
✅ High Productivity – With a wide 66.5-inch (170 mm) drum, the roller achieves an impressive processing volume of up to 968 cubic yards (740 cubic meters) per hour.
Smart Compaction Technology
To maximize efficiency, the BW 177 BVO-5 PL comes equipped with cutting-edge monitoring tools:
🔹 BOMAG TERRAMETER – Measures soil stiffness in real-time, alerting operators when optimal compaction is reached.
🔹 BOMAP App – A digital tool for real-time tracking of compaction progress, compatible with any roller brand.
Hassle-Free Maintenance for Long-Term Reliability
BOMAG has designed this roller for easy servicing, minimizing downtime:
✔ No lubrication points – Maintenance is simplified with a lubrication-free oscillating and articulating joint.
✔ Easy access – Dipsticks, filters, and fluid filling points are accessible from ground level for quick routine checks.
The Ultimate Compaction Solution
With its versatile compaction modes, fuel-saving features, advanced monitoring systems, and easy maintenance, the BOMAG BW 177 BVO-5 PL is an ideal choice for contractors seeking superior performance, cost efficiency, and reliability.
