Robust, powerful and reliable, the new generation Bomag BMP 8500 multi-purpose compactor features an improved radio remote control design that allows the controller to be used on every BMP 8500 in the fleet. The remote control’s unique teach function quickly and intuitively pairs the unit to the machine to save contractors time and money. Should the controller be misplaced, a new one can be paired to any machine in the fleet quickly and without special knowledge or tools.
The BMP 8500 establishes a secure 100 percent connection between the remote-control unit and machine. Multiple trench rollers can be operated simultaneously at the job site without the need to coordinate or adjust individual radio frequencies, increasing operational flexibility.
Two standard batteries for the remote control deliver a continuous combined worktime of up to 40 hours for more operating time. The two-battery solution allows one battery to charge while the other powers the controller, so the BMP 8500 is always ready for work. Battery charge status is displayed on the remote-control unit’s screen, alerting operators when the battery needs to be charged. Integrated into the trench roller’s storage compartment, an optional charger allows the second battery to be topped off during machine operation.
The lightweight remote controller features a new ergonomic design with paddle-style joysticks to simplify compactor travel and multiple indicator lights for intuitive control. It offers reliable operation, even in direct sunlight.
Modern design, reliable operation
Every component was developed with a focus on low maintenance and dependable operation. A single power board for all fuses improves operating reliability, while the standard fuse tester allows users to quickly detect and replace a bad fuse. Encasing the exciter housing prevents water and dirt infiltration, improving the machine’s longevity. No-grease nipples at the articulation joint reduces maintenance requirements.
The Bomag BMP 8500 offers a variable working width that can be quickly adjusted from 24 to 33.5 inches in a few simple steps. It is powered by the 19.4-horsepower Kubota D 1005 diesel engine meeting Tier 4F / Stage V emissions standards. The integrated BOMAG Operator Safety System (BOSS) automatically shuts down the machine if it comes too close to the operator for safety. Keeping the operator updated on compaction progress, Bomag Economizer allows soft spots in the fill to be easily identified and addressed to avoid unnecessary passes.
