The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Fan Cowl designed for the DPU 7060 series reversible vibratory plate compactors. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part carries the same specifications as the original component installed at the factory, ensuring a correct, hassle-free installation. Confirmed fitment includes the DPU 7060SC, DPU 7060Fe, and DPU 7060Fet — heavy-duty diesel reversible plates built for demanding soil and aggregate compaction work. When it's time to restore your DPU 7060 to full operating condition, the Fan Cowl is the right part for the job.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction: — Molded and dimensioned to the original Wacker Neuson specification, ensuring the cowl seats correctly against the engine housing and maintains proper airflow channeling around the cooling fan.
- Direct-Fit Replacement: — Designed as a drop-in replacement for the DPU 7060 series; mounts to the existing attachment points without reworking the engine compartment or surrounding covers.
- Confirmed DPU 7060 Series Fitment: — Verified compatible with the DPU 7060SC, DPU 7060Fe, and DPU 7060Fet reversible vibratory plate compactors, covering both standard and remote-control variants in this 70 kN class.
- Sustained Engine Cooling: — A correctly fitted fan cowl concentrates airflow across the engine's cooling fins; a cracked, broken, or missing cowl disrupts this airflow and can lead to elevated operating temperatures under sustained compaction loads.
- Thermal Safety Relevance: — Proper fan cowl integrity is directly tied to engine heat management; operating a high-output diesel plate compactor with a damaged cowl risks overheating and accelerated engine wear in demanding field conditions.
The fan cowl is a shroud that surrounds and directs airflow generated by the engine's cooling fan, channeling it efficiently across the cylinder and engine cooling fins to maintain safe operating temperatures. On diesel-powered reversible plate compactors like the DPU 7060 series — which operate under continuous, high-load compaction cycles — consistent engine cooling is essential to sustained output and component longevity. When the fan cowl cracks, breaks, or goes missing, cooling airflow becomes uncontrolled and inefficient, leaving the engine vulnerable to heat buildup that can accelerate wear or trigger thermal shutdown.
