The Wacker Neuson Side Element is a genuine OEM component designed for the DPU 6055 series reversible vibratory plate compactors. As a direct OEM replacement, this part is manufactured to the same specifications as the original, ensuring a correct, hassle-free installation on your machine. Fitment covers the full DPU 6055 series lineup, including the DPU 6055, DPU 6055H, DPU 6055He, and DPU 6055 WC variants. Keeping structural components like the Side Element in good condition is essential to maintaining the integrity and performance of your compactor on the job.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction: — Manufactured to original Wacker Neuson tolerances, so the Side Element fits and functions exactly as the part it replaces — no guesswork, no trimming.
- Drop-In Replacement: — Designed to bolt directly into the DPU 6055 frame using the original mounting points, keeping your service time short and your machine back in operation quickly.
- Broad DPU 6055 Series Coverage: — Compatible across DPU 6055, DPU 6055H, DPU 6055He, and DPU 6055 WC configurations — one part number covers the full 60 kN, 55 cm reversible plate family.
- Structural Integrity Maintained: — A worn or cracked Side Element can compromise the housing alignment of the compactor, leading to vibration imbalance and accelerated wear on surrounding components. Replacing it promptly keeps your plate running true.
- Verified Part Number: — Cross-reference part number 5000124498 against your machine's serial number and model to confirm correct fitment before ordering.
The Side Element is a structural panel or guard component that forms part of the outer housing on the DPU 6055 reversible vibratory plate compactor. It protects internal drive and exciter components from impact, debris, and site conditions during operation. When a Side Element becomes cracked, broken, or missing, the machine's internal components are exposed to potential damage, and the structural balance of the baseplate assembly can be affected — making prompt replacement important for both machine longevity and operator safety.
