The Wacker Neuson Tank Bracket Weldment is a genuine OEM component designed for the VP1135, VP1340, and VP1550 series single-direction vibratory plate compactors. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this weldment carries the same fitment tolerances and material specifications as the part it replaces. Coverage spans the full VP1035, VP1135, VP1340, and VP1550 model families — including AW, RW, R, A, and W variants — making one of the broadest-fitting structural components in the Wacker Neuson VP plate compactor lineup.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Weld Integrity — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original weld specifications, ensuring the bracket delivers the same structural rigidity as the factory-installed unit.
- Direct Bolt-On Replacement — Engineered to align with existing mounting points on VP-series plates, so installation follows the original assembly sequence without reworking brackets or hardware.
- Broad VP-Series Coverage — A single part number covers VP1035, VP1135, VP1340, and VP1550 variants, including AW, RW, R, A, and W configurations across multiple production series.
- Secure Tank Retention — A failed or cracked tank bracket weldment allows the fuel tank to shift under compaction vibration, risking fuel leaks and machine shutdown; this OEM replacement restores proper tank retention.
- Fuel System Safety — A correctly mounted tank bracket keeps the fuel system isolated from the vibration exciter, preventing line fatigue, chafing, and unintended fuel exposure on the work site.
The tank bracket weldment is the structural mount that secures the fuel tank to the compactor's frame. On a vibratory plate compactor, the exciter mechanism generates continuous high-frequency vibration during operation, and without a solid bracket weldment, the tank is exposed to that energy directly — leading to stress cracks, loose fuel connections, and potential leaks. When this weldment cracks, bends, or breaks, the tank loses its fixed position, and continued operation risks both equipment damage and a fuel hazard; replacing it promptly restores the secure, vibration-isolated mounting the machine requires.
