BOMAG’s new 8-foot CR802T-2 rubber-track paver, unveiled at the 2025 World of Asphalt, is designed for contractors wanting to start larger paving projects.
It features a 10-ton hopper, 173-horsepower engine and variable paving widths up to 16 feet.
Zachary Watson, BOMAG Americas paving product manager, says the CR802T-2 is great for contractors looking to enter the highway paving market. In the video above, he leads us on a walkaround tour of the new paver.
New to the CR paver lineup is an independent auger conveyor control system. Watson says seasoned operators will remember certain elements from previous designs.
“Legacy operators may be familiar with the old design of having flow gates, and when you ran your augers, you run your conveyors,” he says. “With the new independent auger conveyor control, you're able to fine tune your head and material, and you can precisely control how much mix you are feeding with your conveyors and how fast your augers are feeding that material out to your extensions."
A new outboard-driven auger system, also unique to the CR pavers, was adopted from BOMAG’s CR remix pavers. It moves the chain boxes of the augers to the outside of the paver, cleaning the center of the auger tunnel and preventing centerline segregation.
Another new feature is an updated human machine interface. The BOMAG A-Pave panel allows for instant hook-up of MOBA-integrated automation, meaning operators no longer need a control box on the screed.
“It helps clear up the screed area bit for operators, but it's a plug and play now. So you can set all your parameters for MOBA right here on this panel,” says Watson. “This also helps you control your feed, set your auger speeds, your conveyor speeds, to make sure that you have a proper proportion to each one to make sure that you are good to go.”
