The Wacker Neuson Star Grip is a genuine OEM component designed for BPU and DPU series reversible vibratory plate compactors. This direct-replacement grip fits an extensive range of Wacker Neuson reversible plates, including the BPU 2440A, BPU 2450A, BPU 2950A, BPU 5045A, DPU 2430F, DPU 2440F, DPU 2440H, DPU 2450F, DPU 2450H, DPU 2870, DPU 2950, DPU 2960, DPU 2970, DPU 4045H, DPU 5045H, DPU 9070, and DPU 100-70. As a genuine Wacker Neuson part, the is sourced directly from the manufacturer to ensure it meets the same material and dimensional standards as the original. Keeping operator controls in proper condition helps maintain confident, fatigue-free machine handling throughout long compaction shifts.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Material Match — Manufactured to the same grip compound hardness and surface texture as the original, maintaining secure hand contact during sustained vibration exposure.
- Star-Pattern Fastening Design — The star grip configuration allows tool-free or low-effort installation directly onto the handlebar assembly of compatible BPU and DPU compactors.
- Broad BPU and DPU Compatibility — Fits over 25 reversible vibratory plate models across the BPU and DPU families, from compact 24 kN units to heavy-duty 100 kN configurations.
- Operator Comfort and Control — A correctly fitted grip absorbs surface vibration transfer to the handle, helping operators maintain steady directional control of the plate during soil and aggregate compaction passes.
- Worn Grip Replacement — A cracked, slipping, or hardened grip reduces operator control and increases fatigue; replacing it with part 5000039143 restores the original handling feel.
The star grip is the operator's primary point of contact with the compactor's handlebar system. It provides the tactile interface between the machine and the person guiding it, helping to dampen vibration transmission to the hands while maintaining a secure hold during forward and reverse compaction passes. When a grip wears out, cracks, or loosens on the bar, it creates an unstable hold that can reduce steering accuracy and increase operator fatigue — making timely replacement an important part of routine compactor maintenance.
