Wacker Neuson 5000058256 Center Pole Head

The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Center Pole Head designed for DPU and BPU series reversible vibratory plate compactors. This part is sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, ensuring it meets the exact specifications of the original component fitted at the factory. Verified fitment covers a wide range of models including the DPU 2440H, DPU 2440F, DPU 2450F, DPU 2450H, DPU 2870, DPU 2950, DPU 2960, DPU 2970, BPU 2440A, BPU 2450A, and BPU 2950A. When you order part number, you get the same component Wacker Neuson installs on the production line — no guesswork, no adapting.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM Construction: — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original material and dimensional tolerances, so the pole head seats and functions exactly as the unit it replaces.
• Drop-In Fitment Across DPU and BPU Families: — Designed to install directly into the exciter/handle assembly of compatible DPU and BPU reversible vibratory plate compactors without alteration.
• Broad Model Coverage: — A single part number covers DPU 2440, 2450, 2870, 2950, 2960, and 2970 variants as well as BPU 2440A, 2450A, and 2950A machines, making it a versatile stocking part for multi-machine fleets.
• Structural Integrity for High-Vibration Environments: — The center pole head is the critical connection point between the operator handle and the compactor's vibrating base plate; a worn or cracked head allows play and vibration transfer that degrades control and operator comfort.
• Operator Handling and Control: — A correctly functioning center pole head keeps steering and direction-change inputs responsive on reversible plates, which is essential for accurate compaction passes in tight trench and pavement work.

The center pole head is the structural hub where the guide pole or handle assembly connects to the upper frame of the vibratory plate compactor. On reversible plate compactors like the DPU and BPU series, this component absorbs and dampens vibration transmitted up from the exciter unit, while also transferring the operator's directional inputs to the machine. Over time, the repeated shock loading of compaction cycles can cause the pole head to crack, deform, or develop excessive play. When that happens, steering precision drops, vibration is transferred more aggressively to the operator, and the structural connection between handle and base plate becomes compromised — making replacement with a correctly rated part essential.
