The Wacker Neuson Protective Frame is a genuine OEM protective frame designed for the DPU5247, DPU5260, DPU5275, DPU6260, and DPU6275 series reversible vibratory plate compactors. As a factory-authorized Wacker Neuson part, the is manufactured to the same standards as the original component fitted at the production line, ensuring a direct, bolt-on replacement with no adaptation needed. This protective frame is confirmed to fit an extensive range of DPU series models, including Heh, He, Hehcb+, Hehcpb+, Hehp, and standard H variants across both the 52 and 62 frame sizes.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM Structural Integrity — Manufactured by Wacker Neuson to the original material grade and dimensional spec, so the frame provides the same impact resistance and coverage as the part it replaces.
• Direct Bolt-On Replacement — Mounting points and hardware interfaces match the original exactly, allowing straightforward installation on compatible DPU series machines without cutting, drilling, or fitting modifications.
• Broad DPU Series Compatibility — A single part number covers DPU5247, DPU5260, DPU5275, DPU6260, and DPU6275 variants, including Heh, He, Hehcb+, Hehcpb+, Hehp, and base H configurations.
• Shields Critical Components — The protective frame guards the machine's engine, exciter housing, and fuel system from impact damage on active job sites, helping the compactor stay operational through demanding use.
• Safety-Relevant Coverage — A damaged or missing frame leaves fuel lines, throttle linkage, and engine components exposed to direct contact hazards; replacing it with the correct OEM part restores the machine's designed level of operator and equipment protection.

The protective frame is the structural guard that wraps around the upper body of a reversible vibratory plate compactor, shielding the engine and key mechanical components from accidental impact, tip-over damage, and site debris. On machines like the Wacker Neuson DPU series, this frame also serves as a handling aid, providing a secure grip point when maneuvering the compactor into position. When the frame becomes cracked, bent, or broken, it no longer absorbs impact loads as intended, leaving vulnerable components exposed and potentially creating a handling hazard for the operator.
