The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Shockmount designed for the WP1540A, WP1550A, VP1135A, and VP1030A series single-direction vibratory plate compactors. As a factory-sourced component, it is manufactured to the exact material and dimensional specifications used in original production, ensuring correct load-bearing and vibration-damping performance. This Shockmount fits a broad range of WP and VP series plates, including US-market and standard configurations across multiple machine numbers. Always confirm your machine's model and serial number before ordering to ensure a direct application match.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Vibration Isolation: — Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this Shockmount meets the original compression and damping ratings required to protect the operator handle assembly from excessive plate vibration.
- Drop-In Replacement: — Matches the original mounting geometry of WP and VP series vibratory plates, allowing direct installation without reworking brackets or mounting points.
- Broad WP and VP Series Coverage: — Confirmed fitment across WP1540A, WP1540Aw, WP1550A, WP1550Aw, VP1135A, VP1135Aw, VP1030A, and VP1030Aw plate compactors, including US-market and CN-market variants.
- Sustained Operator Comfort: — A fully functioning Shockmount absorbs the high-frequency vibration generated by the eccentric mechanism, keeping transmitted vibration to the handlebars within acceptable limits and reducing operator fatigue on long compaction runs.
- Operator Safety Compliance: — Worn or collapsed shockmounts allow excessive vibration to transfer to the operator's hands and arms, which can breach hand-arm vibration (HAV) exposure limits. Replacing a degraded mount restores the machine to its intended vibration profile.
The Shockmount is a rubber-to-metal isolator that sits between the vibrating baseplate assembly and the upper handle frame on a vibratory plate compactor. Its job is to absorb and dampen the high-frequency vibration produced by the rotating eccentric weights inside the plate so that energy is directed downward into the ground rather than transmitted up through the operator's hands and arms. When a Shockmount deteriorates — through rubber degradation, cracking, or compression set — vibration levels at the handlebars rise sharply, accelerating fatigue, reducing machine control, and potentially exceeding occupational hand-arm vibration limits. Replacing a worn 5100017108 Shockmount restores the plate compactor's original vibration isolation performance and keeps the operator working safely and comfortably through full compaction shifts.
