The Wacker Neuson Baseplate Machined 40Cm is a genuine OEM component designed for the VP1340 and VP1550W series single-direction vibratory plates. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this baseplate is manufactured to the exact tolerances and material specifications of the original part, ensuring a direct, bolt-on fit with no improvisation required. Part number covers an extensive range of VP1340 variants — including the VP1340, VP1340A, VP1340W, VP1340AW, and their wheel-kit equipped counterparts — as well as the VP1550W, making it a widely applicable service part for fleets running this compaction equipment. When it comes to a structural wear component like this, choosing genuine OEM is the straightforward choice for restoring full machine performance.
Key Features
- Machined to OEM Dimensional Tolerances — Precision-machined baseplate surface ensures correct contact area and compaction force distribution across the full 40cm working width.
- Direct Bolt-On Replacement — Matches original mounting hole patterns and plate geometry for a straightforward swap on compatible VP1340 and VP1550W models.
- Broad VP1340 Series Coverage — Fits VP1340, VP1340A, VP1340W, VP1340AW, wheel-kit variants, and the VP1550W — one part number covering the core of the VP1340 product family.
- Restores Full Compaction Output — A worn or cracked baseplate reduces ground contact and undermines compaction efficiency; replacing with 5000401267 brings performance back to spec.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson OEM Part — Supplied as an authorized Wacker Neuson replacement, backed by the manufacturer's parts program for verified quality and traceability.
The baseplate is the primary ground-contact component on a vibratory plate compactor — it transmits the eccentric vibration force generated by the exciter unit directly into the surface being compacted. On the VP1340 and VP1550W series, the 40cm machined baseplate is engineered to distribute that compaction energy evenly, which is critical for achieving consistent density on granular soils, gravel, and asphalt patching. When the baseplate becomes worn, cracked, or distorted, compaction efficiency drops noticeably — you may see uneven surface results or feel increased vibration transmitted back through the machine — and continued operation risks further damage to the exciter housing and plate frame.
