It may be a member of the Bomag heavy compaction product family, but the BW124-40 Series vibratory roller was right at home being launched at The Rental Show 2008.rnWith a 47-inch drum, the smallest of Bomag's heavy single-drum rollers is "a perfect machine" for the rental market, says Dave Dennison, product manager, Bomag Americas. Beyond avoiding transport restrictions, "it's got the ability to be used in confined areas - utility installations, landscaping jobs - applications that are really in that rental niche." Rolled out at the American Rental Association's annual February trade show, held at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, the smooth-drum BW124DH-40 and the corresponding padfoot-drum BW124PDH-40 feature noticeable design enhancements from the predecessor BW124-3 Series that go beyond the new Tier-3 Deutz three-cylinder diesel engines. These include ROPS/FOPS with a sun canopy as standard and a more vertically opening hood.
