BOMAG is planning its largest trade show display for ConExpo 2023, bringing out more than 40 machines, including an electric tandem-drum compactor and the autonomous concept Robomag 2 roller.
BOMAG’s new BW 100 AD e-5 tandem roller runs on two rechargeable batteries to power the two electric motors that independently control vibration and travel. Only one motor is needed for traveling, which saves on battery life, the company says.
The electric roller is geared toward night work or urban jobsites where noise and emissions are concerns. Its drums are 39.4 inches wide and operate at 3,900/3,336 vibrations per minute and 0.020-inch amplitude.

For diesel-engine ride-on rollers, BOMAG will display its new BW 120 SLC-5 combination roller, which features 1.97-inch crab steering for compacting around buildings and other structures.
It also is equipped with Intelligent Vibration Control, which lets the operator know when optimum compaction has been achieved. The roller has a 47.2-inch front vibratory steel drum and four smooth rear tires.
