About · Bomag BW141Overview
The Bomag BW141 is a single-drum vibratory soil compactor in the mid-range compactor class, with an operating weight of 6900 kg and an engine output of 74 hp. These characteristics place it in a segment suited to contractors requiring a balance between compaction performance and machine maneuverability. Bomag is an established manufacturer in the compaction equipment sector, and the BW141 reflects the brand's standard engineering approach for this weight class.
Typical applicationsWhere this machine is used
Single-drum vibratory compactors in this weight and power range are commonly deployed on road base preparation, earthworks, embankment compaction, and site infrastructure projects. They are well suited to medium-scale civil construction assignments where consistent compaction depth and pass efficiency are operational priorities. Contractors in utility, road, and general groundworks sectors regularly specify machines of this class.
Used-market inspectionWhat to check before buying
Prospective buyers should inspect the drum for cracks, flat spots, and bearing wear, as drum condition directly affects compaction quality and reconditioning can be significant. The vibration system, including eccentric bearings and hydraulic drive components, warrants close attention given its role in machine performance and its exposure to continuous operational stress. Engine condition, articulation joint integrity, and the state of rubber buffers between the drum frame and mainframe are standard checkpoints for this machine class. Requesting full service history and any available inspection records supports a more accurate assessment of remaining service life.
Current marketPrice position
In the European used market, the BW141 trades at an average of EUR 37,433, with a typical price range spanning EUR 33,900 to EUR 41,460. Buyers evaluating this machine against comparable models should also consider the Ammann ARX45 and the Hamm HD14, which compete in the same weight and application segment. Pricing position within the stated range will generally reflect machine age, hours, condition, and the presence of service documentation.
