BC462EB Soil Compactor

The 51,000-lb. BC462EB combines the features of Bomag's single-drum rollers with design features from its refuse compactors to produce a product well suited to push, spread and compact soil on medium to large-scale dirt projects.

• Incorporates four-wheel hydrostatic drive and a 255-hp water-cooled Deutz water-cooled diesel engine
• Sealed frame design keeps materials from entering frame or engine compartment, while protecting drivetrain components
• Scraper bar system keeps wheels free of dirt
• Travel speed provides high productivity

The 51,000-lb. BC462EB combines features of the company's single-drum rollers with design features from its refuse compactors to produce a product well suited to push, spread and compact soil on medium to large-scale dirt projects. Four-wheel hydrostatic drive and a 255-hp Deutz water-cooled diesel engine ensure optimal power, gradeability and traction. A sealed frame design keeps materials from entering the frame or engine compartment, while providing complete protection to drivetrain components. A scraper bar system keeps the wheels free of dirt to maintain a high level of compaction performance.

Loadrite X-Weigh 2350

The LOADRITE X-Weigh 2350 onboard weighing system for excavators ensures all trucks are loaded to their full legal capacity.

• Uses Multi-Dimensional Compensation weighing technology
• Accurate to within +/- 3%
• Multiple sensors track angle and position of the boom and stick, as well as changes to hydraulic pressure
• Two tilt sensors enable weight calculations to remain accurate even on sloping or uneven ground
• Alarm alerts operator once the load reaches the truck's legal limit

The LOADRITE X-Weigh 2350 features Multi-Dimensional Compensation weighing technology that is accurate to +/- 3% and enables weighing of materials while the excavator is in operation. The angle and position of the boom and stick, as well as changes to hydraulic pressure, are monitored by sensors mounted on the pivot points of the arm. Readings are transferred to an onboard software package, and the weight of each bucket is displayed via the easy-to-use graphic interface. As sequential readings are added up in the system, an alarm alerts the operator once the load has reached the truck's legal limit.
