BOMAG single drum rollers: power and intelligence
BOMAG 4 th generation single drum rollers
combine new technology such as the cost-
saving drive (BOMAG ECOMODE), inno-
vative drum shapes (polygonal and rock
crushing drums) and intelligent exciter
systems (BOMAG VARIOCONTROL) with
more traditional but no less important bene-
fits such reliability, quality and long term
value.
What’s new about the 4th genera-
tion?
• Higher compaction output from larger
amplitudes (DH-4/PDH-4)
• Up to 30% lower fuel costs with BOMAG
ECOMODE load-dependent, regulated drive
system (DH-4 / PDH-4 / BVC)
• More room, comfort and better ergonomics
for the driver in the cab or on the operator’s
platform
• Glare-free LCD displaying key operational
data to the roller driver
• Superb all-round vision for increased safety
on site
• Modern compaction measurement - based
on soil stiffness achieved ( shown as EVIB in
MN/m 2), now available on single drum mo-
dels with conventional vibration systems
too.
The exciting design concept of the new BOMAG single drum range highlights their practical strengths, i.e. quality, pro-
ductivity and reliability.
• New front frame with added space between
scrapers and frame to avoid build-up during
compaction of wet, cohesive soils using
pad foot shells or pad foot drums
• Hood from high shock-resistant, light com-
posite material: DCPD
• Exciting new styling
Best features from earlier models
incorporated:
• Fast access to all components in the engi-
ne compartment (e.g. filters, pumps and
engine)
• Lower service costs with maintenance-free
components on models up to 16 t (e.g.
articulated joint, steering cylinder and tra-
vel bearing )
• Superior compaction output with optimum
frequencies and static linear loads combi-
ned with maximum centrifugal forces and
amplitudes.
• NO SPIN axle for best off-road capacity
• ANTI-SLIP CONTROL (ASC) for maximum
gradability on all H-series models
• Superior cooling system with air intake at
rear of cab for reduced dust ingress; outlet
angled up at rear to reduce dust creation
• Legendary BOMAG quality for reliability on
site and best resale value
 Optional equipment for added utilisation
BOMAG single drum rollers can be optimi-
sed for specific applications on site using a
wide choice of factory installed or field
options to suit both new and older machines.

Handing you the competitive advantage!
Powerful circular exciter
Single drum rollers with circular exciters
have 2 amplitudes and fixed frequencies.
Manual control is performed at the operator’s
platform. High amplitude is used for thick
layers and low for surface compaction and
thin fill layers.
BOMAG VARIOCONTROL (BVC)
The fast, progressive and automatic adjust-
ment of compaction power with VARIOCON-
TROL guarantees maximum compaction per-
formance with each pass until the level of
soil stiffness (EVIB) preset by the roller driver
is achieved. Six amplitudes can be preset
when compacting close to buildings to limit
the vibration risk. The advantages of VARIO-
CONTROL are:
• High compaction output with high, static
linear loads and amplitudes of up to 2.5
mm
• Permanent display of soil stiffness achie-
ved in EVIB / MN/m 2
• Unnecessary passes avoided: compaction
complete is signalled to the operator
• No over-compaction
• No drum bounce: less wear on all compo-
nents
• Soft spots are quickly identified and fol-
low-up compaction carried immediately
• Uniform bearing capacity increases the
service life of roads and structures.
VARIOCONTROL shows the innovative force of BOMAG.
Smooth and pad foot roller drums
Smooth drums are used for non-cohesive
and mixed soils. Fine-grain materials are
best compacted using the kneading and mil-
ling effect of pad foot drums.
100% increase with polygonal
drums
The sometimes poor depth effect of smooth
drum rollers is eliminated with the successi-
ve action of wedge and plate when rolling
with the polygonal drum. This process incre-
ases the depth effect so as to allow up to
100% layer thickness increases. Polygonal
drums are suitable for most soil types –
cohesive and non-cohesive.
Compaction of rockfill
Rockfill is used on many on large scale con-
struction sites where mobile crushing plants
are typically used. Costs are considerable
and can be avoided altogether with the use of
single drum rollers fitted with a rock crus-
hing drum. The application range extends to
all materials up to 100 MN/m 2 compression
strength.

Our “Less is More” service cost-cutting approach
Maximum productivity on site is only possi-
ble with high reliability and sound technolo-
gy under all kinds of operating conditions.
BOMAG addresses these requirements with
uncompromising component and parts
supply and intelligent roller design.
Roller design:
• Hydraulic and drive technology only from
renowned suppliers
• Reinforced hydraulic hoses with superior
wear resistance
• All wiring harnesses cased to avoid
mechanical damage
• Electronic monitoring of functions and
components prevents downtime and
repairs
• Efficient cooling taking in fresh air where it
is cleanest, i.e. above the machine. Exhaust
air blows out above the rear of the machi-
ne to minimise dust.
• Extra-large filters for air, engine oil and
hydraulic oil protects the drive system
• Two fuel filters as standard (one fitted with
a water separator) protect the state-of-the-
art diesel engines
• Clearly arranged on-board electrics with
numbered cables and routing of central
electrics direct to components.
nings are reached comfortably and safely
from the ground.
The “Less is More” philosphy:
• All models with operating weights up to
16 t have no lubricating nipples: the articu-
lated joint, steering cylinder and travel bea-
rings are maintenance-free and life-time
lubricated. The driver needs only to check
the engine oil level – that takes just a few
seconds.
• Long service intervals: e.g. hydraulic oil is
changed only every 2000 operating hours
or every 2 years
• Faster access to all servicing and mainte-
nance points in the engine compartment
and the drum
• Easy access outlet openings for engine,
hydraulic oil and coolant
• Individually exchangeable rubber buffers

All BOMAG rollers have been designed so

that the time and cost of servicing are kept to
a minimum.

All models have maintenance-free compo-

nents which means total elimination of lubri-
Large fuel filter protects the state-of-the-art engine
cating nipples. The roller driver only needs to
check the engine oil level in the morning and
he’s ready to drive off (BOMAG’s “Less is
More” concept). Also if drivers are frequent-
ly changed, there is no risk of downtime due
to service work being carried out. The capa-
bility of these rollers to work to capacity is
maintained at the highest level.

on filters, the mechanic has an easy job due
to the clever arrangement of the assemblies.
