The Wacker Neuson Beltguard Back Weldment is a genuine OEM component designed for MP15, MP20, and VP1550AW-CN series single direction plate compactors. As a direct OEM replacement sourced from Wacker Neuson, part is manufactured to the same standards as the original, ensuring a proper fit with no guesswork on installation. This weldment is confirmed compatible across multiple MP15 configurations, including soil and asphalt compaction variants, as well as the MP20 single direction plate series. When your beltguard back weldment is cracked, bent, or missing, replacing it promptly keeps the drive belt properly enclosed and the machine operating safely.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Structural Integrity — Wacker Neuson factory weldment construction means consistent steel gauge and weld quality, so the guard holds its shape under compactor vibration and daily site abuse.
- Drop-In Replacement — Matches the original mounting points and profile of the factory unit, allowing straightforward bolt-on installation on compatible plate compactors.
- Broad MP-Series Compatibility — Fits MP15 (including soil and asphalt variants), MP20 single direction plates, and VP1550AW-CN compactors — one part covers multiple machines in your fleet.
- Belt Drive Protection — Fully enclosing the rear of the belt drive, this weldment shields the drive belt from debris, concrete slurry, and compacted material that would otherwise accelerate belt wear and cause premature failure.
- Operator Safety Coverage — A fully intact beltguard keeps rotating drive components enclosed, reducing exposure risk to operators and meeting standard equipment guarding expectations on active job sites.
The beltguard back weldment forms the rear enclosure of the belt drive system on single direction plate compactors. Its job is to contain the drive belt within a protected housing, preventing contact with external debris and blocking accidental contact with moving parts during operation. When this weldment is damaged or absent, the drive belt is exposed to site contamination and physical impact, leading to accelerated belt wear, potential belt failure, and a safety hazard for the operator — making timely replacement essential.
