The Wacker Neuson Side Plate is a genuine OEM component designed for DS70 and DS720 series diesel vibratory rammers. As a direct factory replacement, this part is manufactured to the same specifications as the original, ensuring a proper fit across the wide range of DS70 and DS720 configurations — including 280mm/11in and 330mm/13in shoe variants. Whether you're servicing a standard DS70, a DS70Y, or a DS720, part number is verified for compatibility across EPA and non-EPA models alike.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Structural Integrity — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original material and dimensional tolerances, ensuring the side plate maintains the rammer's housing alignment and impact-load resistance under repeated compaction cycles.
- Direct-Fit Replacement — Matches the original mounting points and profile of the DS70 and DS720 rammer housings, dropping in as a direct swap without modification.
- Broad DS-Series Compatibility — Fits a wide range of DS70 and DS720 configurations, including 11in/280mm and 13in/330mm plastic shoe models, EPA-compliant variants, and the DS70Y series.
- Protects Internal Drive Components — A correctly fitted side plate shields the rammer's internal drivetrain from debris, moisture, and impact damage — a worn or cracked plate leaves critical components exposed and vulnerable to accelerated wear.
- Verified Part Number — Part 5000163639 is sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, giving you confidence that you're installing the correct part the first time.
The side plate on a diesel vibratory rammer forms part of the outer housing that encloses and protects the machine's internal drive and compaction mechanism. It bears repeated mechanical stress during every compaction stroke, and it shields internal components from the harsh conditions of trench and soil compaction work. When a side plate cracks, warps, or becomes damaged, it compromises the structural integrity of the rammer housing — leading to accelerated wear on internal parts, potential ingress of dirt and moisture, and reduced compaction performance. Replacing a damaged side plate promptly with a genuine OEM part like the 5000163639 keeps the DS70 or DS720 operating safely and at full compaction output.
