The Wacker Neuson Star Grip is a genuine OEM component designed for BPU and DPU series reversible vibratory plate compactors. As a direct OEM replacement sourced from Wacker Neuson, part is manufactured to the same specifications as the original hardware installed at the factory. This Star Grip is confirmed to fit a broad range of BPU and DPU models, including the BPU 5045A, BPU 3545A, DPU 4045H, DPU 5045H, DPU 6055, DPU 9070, and DPU 100-70. Keeping the correct grip hardware in place ensures the operator maintains a secure, confident hold on the machine during compaction runs.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction: — Molded and rated to the same material and dimensional spec as the original, ensuring the grip seats flush and holds firm under sustained vibration loads.
- Drop-In Replacement: — Installs directly onto the handle assembly of compatible BPU and DPU models using the existing mounting points — no additional hardware needed.
- Wide BPU and DPU Compatibility: — Fits BPU 3545A, BPU 5045A, DPU 4045H, DPU 5045H, DPU 6055, DPU 9070, and DPU 100-70 reversible vibratory plate compactors.
- Sustained Operator Control: — A worn or cracked grip reduces hand purchase and allows the machine to move unpredictably during operation; a fresh Star Grip restores full tactile control of the compactor.
- Operator Safety: — Handle grip integrity is a direct safety factor on vibratory plate compactors; replacing a degraded grip with a correct OEM part helps maintain secure machine handling at all times.
The Star Grip is a handle-mounted knob fitted to the operator control frame of reversible vibratory plate compactors. It provides the primary gripping surface the operator uses to steer, lift, and maneuver the machine across the work surface. Over time, vibration exposure, UV weathering, and repeated handling cause the grip material to crack, harden, or break away entirely, reducing the operator's ability to control the plate safely and accurately. Replacing a worn Star Grip restores proper handling feel and keeps the operator securely connected to the machine during compaction work.
