Wacker Neuson 5100005496 Star Handle

The Wacker Neuson Star Handle is a genuine OEM star handle designed for the DPU5260, DPU6275, DPU6260, DPU80L, DPU90L, and DPU110L series reversible vibratory plate compactors, as well as the BPU5260Ah and BPU6275Ah models. As a direct OEM replacement, part is manufactured to the same specification as the original component fitted at the factory, ensuring consistent fit and function across the full range of compatible machines. This handle is the correct service replacement for an extensive lineup of Wacker Neuson reversible plates, including US-spec variants and LOXAM-configured units.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured by Wacker Neuson to original design tolerances, so the star handle delivers the same grip geometry and structural integrity as the part it replaces.
• Direct Bolt-On Replacement — Matches the original mounting points and hardware interface on compatible Wacker Neuson reversible plate compactors for a straightforward swap with no adaptation.
• Broad Model Coverage — Fits DPU5260, DPU5275, DPU5247, DPU6260, DPU6275, DPU80L, DPU90L, DPU110L series machines, plus BPU5260Ah, BPU6275Ah, US-spec variants, and the xPU KMAT vibratory plate.
• Operator Control Integrity — A properly functioning star handle gives the operator confident, ergonomic control of the machine's forward/reverse lever system; a worn or damaged handle compromises directional accuracy and operator grip during compaction passes.
• OEM Part Number Confidence — Ordering by Wacker Neuson part number 5100005496 confirms you are receiving the correct handle for your specific machine configuration, including electric-drive (Lec), electric-motor (Lem), and hydraulic-drive (Heh) variants.

The star handle on a Wacker Neuson reversible vibratory plate compactor is the primary mechanical interface the operator uses to control the machine's travel direction. Its star-shaped grip profile allows the operator to apply smooth, controlled input to the directional lever, maintaining steering precision across the full range of compaction speeds. When the star handle becomes cracked, worn, or breaks away from the lever assembly, directional control is compromised, making accurate compaction passes difficult and increasing operator fatigue — replacing it promptly with a genuine OEM part restores full machine controllability.
