Wacker Neuson has expanded its reversible-plate lineup with two new medium-weight models: the Honda gas-powered BPU5260 and BPU6275 and Hatz diesel-powered DPU5260 and DPU6275
The new models range in operating weight from 822 to 1,124.4 pounds and are designed for trench and surface compaction. A 20% boost in travel speed compared to previous models, now comparable to Wacker Neuson’s WP1550 vibratory plate compactor, is possible thanks to redesigned placement of the machines’ exciter.
The new models also offer 30% more gradeability and lower hand arm vibration (under 2.5 m/s²) compared to previous models. They also get a more ergonomic user interface and an adjustable center handle.
Operators can now change travel direction by turning the plates’ handle, enabling operators to work with both hands at all times. An open base plate design allows for easier component cleaning.
Standard features on the basic DPU 5260 and DPU 6275 include on-board diagnostics via an LED display, compatibility with the Wacker Neuson diagnostics 2.0 service tool, and push-button electric start and stop.
Options available for all four models include Wacker Neuson Compatec compaction meter, Compamatic site manager and a nylon paver pad for paver protection and plate dampening.
