The Wacker Neuson 5100016840 is a genuine OEM Bow Plate designed for the RD18-80 tandem roller series. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part meets the same specifications as the original component installed at the factory. Fitment has been confirmed across multiple RD18-80 configurations, including the standard, US, and SE variants.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction: — Manufactured to the same structural and material standards as the original bow plate, ensuring correct geometry and load-bearing characteristics specific to tandem roller frame assemblies.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement: — Engineered to match original mounting points on the RD18-80 frame, allowing straightforward installation without reworking surrounding components.
- Broad RD18-80 Compatibility: — Confirmed fit across RD18-80 standard, RD18-80 US, and RD18-80 SE configurations, covering a wide range of this roller's production variants.
- Structural Integrity Restored: — A damaged or worn bow plate compromises the structural connection at the articulation zone; replacing it with an OEM part restores the machine's operational rigidity and handling characteristics.
- Verified Part Number: — Part number 5100016840 is the genuine Wacker Neuson reference for this component — confirm this number against your machine's serial plate before ordering.
The bow plate is a structural component located at the articulated joint area of the RD18-80 tandem roller, where it serves as a formed connection plate that supports and aligns the roller's frame sections. On a tandem roller, the articulation point endures constant stress from steering loads and drum vibration, making the integrity of the bow plate critical to stable machine operation. A cracked, bent, or missing bow plate can introduce misalignment at the frame joint, affecting steering response and placing undue stress on adjacent structural and hydraulic components.
