Wacker Neuson 5100027672 Baseplate Belt Guard Kit WP1540

The Wacker Neuson 5100027672 is a genuine OEM Baseplate Belt Guard Kit WP1540 designed for the WP1540Aw and WP1540A single-direction vibratory plate compactors. As a direct OEM replacement sourced from Wacker Neuson, part 5100027672 matches the original assembly exactly — no guesswork on fitment, no adaptation needed. This kit covers both the standard and US-market configurations of the WP1540A and WP1540Aw, making it the correct choice for operators running either variant. Keep your plate compactor protected and compliant with the same guard assembly it left the factory with.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM Construction: — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original design tolerances, ensuring the guard mounts flush and secures properly around the drive belt without gaps or misalignment.
• Complete Kit: — Supplied as a full Baseplate Belt Guard Kit WP1540, so all necessary components for the guard assembly are included in a single order.
• Confirmed Fitment: — Verified for WP1540Aw, WP1540Aw US, WP1540A, and WP1540A US single-direction vibratory plate compactors across both standard and US-market configurations.
• Drive Belt Protection: — Shields the drive belt from debris, aggregate, and compaction material that would otherwise accelerate belt wear or cause premature failure during operation.
• Operator Safety: — A properly fitted belt guard keeps rotating drive components enclosed, reducing exposure risk for operators working around the machine during use.

The belt guard on a vibratory plate compactor shields the drive belt that transfers power from the engine to the exciter mechanism. Without a properly secured guard, the belt is exposed to dirt, stone chips, and compaction debris that can cause rapid wear, slipping, or sudden failure — interrupting compaction work and potentially damaging surrounding components. On WP1540 series compactors, the baseplate portion of this kit anchors the guard assembly to the machine frame, ensuring the enclosure stays secure across the vibration loads generated during normal operation.
