    Top 100: Highest VPM and Centrifugal Force

    Sept. 28, 2010

    Bomag’s BW205 84-inch-wide vibratory roller offers the highest combination of operating frequency (up to 4,000 vpm) and centrifugal force (34,665 pounds in low amplitude and 41,235 pounds in high amplitude) in the industry. That performance makes the machine ideal for Superpave projects. It boasts a 26,500-pound operating weight, while 54-inch-diameter drums help to minimize shoving. An exclusive control system provides one joystick for steering and a separate joystick for travel control, plus complete fingertip control of all major functions. Dual swivel seats enhance visibility.
