The Wacker Neuson Apron is a genuine OEM component designed for the DPU 6055 and DPU 6555 series reversible vibratory plate compactors. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this apron delivers an exact fit to the original specification, ensuring proper installation without guesswork or modification. Fitment covers a wide range of DPU 6055 and DPU 6555 variants, including the DPU 6055He, DPU 6055 WC, DPU 6555He, DPU 6555H, DPU 6555Heap, DPU 6555Hec, and their US-market counterparts. When you need a direct, like-for-like replacement for your heavy-duty diesel reversible plate, part is the correct choice.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original material and dimensional tolerances, so the apron seats and seals exactly as the factory-installed unit did.
- Direct-Fit Replacement — Matches the original mounting geometry of the DPU 6055 and DPU 6555 platform, dropping in where the worn or damaged apron came out.
- Broad DPU Series Coverage — Confirmed fitment across multiple DPU 6055 and DPU 6555 variants, including He, H, Heap, Hec, WC, and US-market configurations.
- Protects Critical Undercarriage Components — A correctly fitted apron shields the baseplate edge and surrounding compaction hardware from debris, wear, and impact damage during operation.
- Verified Part Number — Order with confidence using Wacker Neuson part number 5000048516; cross-reference your machine's serial number plate to confirm your specific variant before purchasing.
The apron on a reversible vibratory plate compactor serves as a protective trim or shield along the leading and trailing edges of the baseplate assembly. It acts as a barrier between the vibrating plate and ground-level debris, preventing premature wear to the baseplate edge and protecting adjacent components from impact and abrasion. When the apron becomes cracked, worn through, or detached, it exposes the baseplate to accelerated edge damage and can allow material to migrate into areas it should not reach — ultimately shortening the service life of the compaction plate itself and reducing output consistency on soil and aggregate compaction passes.
