The Wacker Neuson Baseplate is a genuine OEM component designed for the VP1550 and AP1550 series single-direction vibratory plate compactors. As a direct OEM replacement sourced from Wacker Neuson, this baseplate is manufactured to the same specifications as the original part installed at the factory. Compatible fitment spans the VP1550, VP1550A, VP1550W, VP1550R, VP1550AW, VP1550(RAW), VP1550AW/WH, AP1550A, AP1550R, and AP1550AW series plates, making it the correct choice for a wide range of 15 kN, 500 mm plate models. When the baseplate wears, cracks, or loses its structural integrity, compaction efficiency drops and the machine's contact surface is compromised — restoring it with the genuine gets your plate back to full working condition.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured by Wacker Neuson to original material and dimensional specifications, ensuring the correct contact surface geometry for consistent compaction output across soil, aggregate, and paving stone applications.
- Direct Bolt-On Replacement — Engineered to match the original mounting configuration of the VP1550 and AP1550 series frames, so the 5000401270 seats and secures exactly as the factory-installed plate did.
- Broad VP1550 and AP1550 Series Coverage — Fits VP1550, VP1550A, VP1550W, VP1550R, VP1550AW, VP1550AW/WH, VP1550(RAW), AP1550A, AP1550R, and AP1550AW vibratory plate compactors across multiple production runs.
- Restores Full Compaction Performance — A worn or damaged baseplate reduces ground contact, causing uneven force transfer. Replacing it with the correct OEM part brings compaction force and surface coverage back to rated 15 kN output.
- Verified Part Number — Cross-reference part number 5000401270 against your machine's serial number and model designation before ordering to confirm the right fit for your specific VP1550 or AP1550 configuration.
The baseplate is the primary ground-contact component of a vibratory plate compactor — it transmits the exciter-generated compaction force directly into the surface being compacted. Its flat working face ensures even distribution of energy across soil, gravel, or paving material, and its mass and rigidity are calibrated to work in tandem with the exciter unit above it. When the baseplate becomes cracked, warped, or excessively worn, the machine loses compaction efficiency, surface coverage becomes uneven, and continued operation can place additional stress on the exciter housing and engine mounts. Replacing a damaged baseplate promptly with the correct OEM part protects the rest of the machine and maintains consistent compaction results on the job.
