The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Protective Frame designed for the DPU 2870, DPU 2950, DPU 2960, and DPU 2970 series reversible vibratory plate compactors. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part is manufactured to the same standards as the frame that shipped with your machine — ensuring a direct, bolt-on replacement with no guesswork. Compatible across multiple DPU variants including 50cm and 70cm deck widths, the covers a broad range of configurations within the DPU 2000 series lineup. When your protective frame is cracked, bent, or worn, replacing it promptly with a genuine part keeps your compactor operating safely and protects surrounding components from impact damage.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured by Wacker Neuson to match the original frame geometry, material grade, and mounting points of your DPU compactor — not an approximation.
- Direct Bolt-On Replacement — Mounts to the same attachment points as the original frame, so installation is straightforward without cutting, drilling, or adapting.
- Broad DPU Series Fitment — Compatible with the DPU 2870, DPU 2950, DPU 2960, and DPU 2970 reversible vibratory plate compactors across both 50cm and 70cm deck configurations.
- Impact and Tip-Over Protection — The protective frame shields the engine, fuel system, and key compactor components from damage during operation, transport, and accidental tip-overs on site.
- Structural Integrity Where It Counts — A bent or fractured frame leaves critical compactor components exposed; replacing it restores the machine's protective envelope and helps prevent costly secondary damage.
The protective frame on a reversible vibratory plate compactor serves as the machine's primary physical guard — wrapping around the engine and upper assembly to absorb impact during tip-overs, loading, and rough transport. On DPU-series compactors working in trenches, tight excavations, or on slopes, this frame is the last line of defense between a hard knock and expensive internal components like the carburetor, fuel tank, or recoil starter. When the frame becomes bent or structurally compromised, it can no longer absorb impact effectively, putting the rest of the machine at risk with every use.
