The Wacker Neuson Baseplate 40Cm is a genuine OEM component designed for the VPA1740 and VPA1340 series battery-powered vibratory plate compactors. As a direct factory replacement, this baseplate ships with the exact dimensions and material spec required to restore your machine to its original operating condition. Wacker Neuson OEM parts are sourced through authorized supply channels, ensuring the part you receive matches the original production unit precisely. Compatible models include the VPA1740 and the VPA1340 (400mm/15.5in) vibratory plates.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction: — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original material and dimensional standards for the baseplate — the surface that directly contacts and transmits compaction force to the ground.
- Correct 40Cm Footprint: — The 40Cm width matches the original baseplate geometry exactly, ensuring full surface contact and consistent compaction output across the plate's working width.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement: — Engineered to bolt directly onto VPA1740 and VPA1340 vibratory plate compactors using the original mounting configuration, with no additional hardware or modification needed.
- Verified Fitment: — Confirmed for the VPA1740 (5000006794, 5000008062) and VPA1340 (5000007154) battery-powered vibratory plate models, covering both production variants of the VPA1740.
- Compaction Performance Restored: — A worn, cracked, or deformed baseplate reduces ground contact and undermines compaction effectiveness. Replacing with a correct OEM unit restores the machine's full output and surface coverage.
The baseplate is the primary working surface of a vibratory plate compactor — it transmits the machine's vibration energy directly into the ground material to achieve compaction. On battery-powered vibratory plates like the VPA1740 and VPA1340, the baseplate must maintain flat, even contact with the surface to convert the exciter's energy efficiently into soil or aggregate density. When a baseplate becomes worn, bent, or cracked, compaction force is distributed unevenly, resulting in poor surface finish, incomplete material density, and increased machine stress. Replacing a damaged baseplate promptly is essential to maintaining both compaction quality and the mechanical integrity of the exciter assembly above it.
