What the specifications mean
BOMAG documents both soil mixing and road recycling for the RS 500, so it belongs in the combined subtype. Rotor setup and the material design determine which role it can perform on a particular job.
The standard width B and lowered cab H form the published transport basis. A raised or shifted cab, displaced rotor or optional widened track requires a separate operating-clearance check.

A brochure configuration is not an individual marketplace machine. Serial/PIN and build information are required for exact verification.
Used RS 500 inspection priorities
- Verify the engine plate and standard versus widened front track. Inspect the rotor sliding mechanism, FLEXMIX components, holder system and evidence of uneven rotor wear.
- Demonstrate cab raising and repositioning, steering modes and the fitted water or emulsion metering system; inspect hoses and keep the demonstration within the manual procedure.
Configuration-aware inspection: these checks are triggered by machine category, installed configuration and technology package. Brochure-listed technology must be physically present, active, licensed and calibrated on the used machine.
Hours, condition and ownership cost
Hours are context, not a condition grade. Duty cycle, idle time, maintenance evidence, wear-system measurements, structural repairs and installed technology should be evaluated together.
Cost drivers to model
- Separate rotor-tool and metering-system costs from carrier hours. A machine used for abrasive recycling can have different wear exposure from one used mainly for soil treatment.
- Confirm availability of service support for the OM 460 LA revision and budget for the binding-agent supply and quality-control work required by the project.
