The Wacker Neuson Protecting Edge is a genuine OEM component designed for the DPU 7060 and DPU 7060RC reversible vibratory plate compactors. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part carries the same specifications as the original installed at the factory, so you can install it with confidence. It fits both the standard DPU 7060 and the remote-controlled DPU 7060RC variants, covering the full 70 kN output range in this machine family.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Material Match — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original material grade and dimensional spec for the protecting edge position, ensuring the correct hardness and wear profile for heavy-duty compaction use.
- Drop-In Replacement — Mounts directly to the baseplate perimeter of the DPU 7060 series using the original fixing points, with no rework or adaptation to the plate assembly needed.
- DPU 7060 Series Fitment — Confirmed fit for the DPU 7060 (5000007938) and DPU 7060RC (5000007939), both 70 kN reversible vibratory plate compactors with a 60 cm / 24 in drum width.
- Baseplate Edge Protection — Shields the outer edge of the compaction plate from impact damage, chipping, and wear during reversible operation across soil and aggregate surfaces, extending the service life of the plate itself.
- Verified OEM Part Number — Part number 5000058898 is the current Wacker Neuson release for this application, giving you a direct cross-reference point when ordering replacements or logging fleet maintenance records.
The protecting edge runs along the perimeter of the vibratory plate's baseplate, absorbing and deflecting impact forces that occur during forward and reverse compaction passes. Without it, the exposed steel edge of the plate is vulnerable to chipping and deformation, particularly when the machine transitions direction or encounters hard aggregate, stone, or trench edges. A worn or missing protecting edge can accelerate damage to the baseplate itself, making timely replacement an important part of routine plate compactor maintenance.
