The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Edge Protection designed for the DPU 4045, DPU 5045, DPU 5545, DPU 6055, and DPU 6555 series reversible vibratory plate compactors. As a direct factory replacement, this part is sourced and manufactured to the same specifications as the original component installed on the machine. It fits a wide range of DPU models across multiple configurations, including Heap, Heh, Hec, Hech, and US-market variants. If you're maintaining or restoring your reversible plate to proper working condition, part number is the correct OEM choice.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original material and dimensional standards, ensuring the edge protection seats and wears exactly as intended on DPU-series base plates.
- Drop-In Replacement — Matches the original mounting profile on DPU 4045, DPU 5045, DPU 5545, DPU 6055, and DPU 6555 series plates — installs using existing hardware without modification.
- Broad DPU Series Coverage — Compatible with an extensive range of diesel reversible vibratory plate models including Heap, Heh, Hec, Hech, and corresponding US-market configurations.
- Protects the Base Plate from Wear — A correctly fitted edge protection takes the brunt of impact and abrasion at the plate perimeter, extending the service life of the more expensive base plate beneath it.
- Verified OEM Part Number — Ordering by Wacker Neuson part number 5000220395 confirms you're receiving the exact replacement, not an approximation — critical when fitment spans this many model variants.
The edge protection on a reversible vibratory plate compactor serves as a sacrificial wear barrier fitted around the perimeter of the compaction plate. During operation, the plate's edges take repeated impact from aggregate, asphalt edges, and trench walls — without this protection, that wear transfers directly to the base plate itself, which is a far more costly component to replace. When the edge protection becomes cracked, missing, or worn thin, it loses its ability to shield the plate, and surface contact quality during compaction can also be affected. Replacing it promptly with the correct OEM part keeps the machine compacting efficiently and protects the structural integrity of the plate assembly.
