About · Bomag BW226

Overview

The Bomag BW226 is a heavy single-drum soil compactor in the 25-tonne class, producing 201 hp and an operating weight of 25,210 kg. It belongs to a segment of large vibratory rollers designed for high-output earthworks and infrastructure compaction. As a Bomag product, it carries the engineering lineage of a specialist compaction manufacturer with broad recognition in the European construction equipment market.

Typical applications

Where this machine is used

Large single-drum compactors in this weight and power class are typically deployed on major earthworks projects including road subbase preparation, embankment construction, dam and levee compaction, and large-scale site preparation. Their high operating weight and drum force output make them suitable for achieving deep compaction passes on cohesive and granular soils. Contractors working on highway, civil infrastructure, and heavy earthmoving contracts commonly specify machines in this category.

Used-market inspection

What to check before buying

When inspecting a used BW226 or comparable heavy compactor, prioritize a full assessment of the drum shell and edge wear, as these are high-wear components that directly affect compaction performance. Check the condition of the vibration bearing system, as bearing wear in the exciter assembly is a common service item on high-utilization machines. Inspect all hydraulic circuits, hoses, and fittings for leaks or deterioration, and review the engine service history for evidence of consistent oil, filter, and coolant maintenance. Verify that the articulation joint and steering cylinders move freely without play, and confirm the condition of the ROPS structure. A dealer or independent technician inspection is advisable before purchase on any machine of this operating weight.

Current market

Price position

Available European market data places the BW226 at an average of EUR 69,500, with the current observed price range also centered at EUR 69,500, indicating limited price dispersion in available listings at the time of survey. Directly comparable competitor models in this segment include the Hamm H13i and Hamm H16i, which buyers should evaluate alongside the BW226 when assessing value, parts support, and dealer network coverage in their operating region.
