Wacker Neuson APS1340E Battery Vibratory Plate (Bare Tool)

Description

Need to compact interior gravel subbase without triggering building carbon monoxide alarms or stringing cords across floors? The Wacker Neuson Battery Plate Compactor Bare unit provides clean compaction via a direct-drive electric motor. Because this bare tool excludes batteries and chargers, you must furnish compatible BOB power packs before starting compaction work.

Ductile cast iron forms the 15.7-inch wide base plate, engineered with curved leading edges to resist stone gouging. Operating weight sits at 132 lbs without the battery installed. A direct-drive brushless electric motor powers the exciter to 5,880 VPM, generating 2,922 lbs of centrifugal compaction force. Heavy rubber isolation bushings protect the steering handle, while sealed IP54 enclosures shield electronics from dust and water.

Key Features of Wacker 5100060128

Utility and earthwork contractors who buy Wacker 5100060128 bare plates secure competitive commercial battery compactor pricing while eliminating fuel emissions inside enclosed building excavations.

• Zero emissions direct-drive electric motor enables safe continuous compaction inside deep trenches and basements
• Ductile cast iron base plate delivers 2,922 lbs of compaction force to reach required subbase density
• Push button start eliminates pull cord fatigue and cold-weather starting frustrations on wet jobsites
• Low hand-arm vibration guide handle reduces operator fatigue to support extended daily compaction shifts
• Sealed brushless motor and exciter require zero engine oil changes or air filter replacements
• Compact 15.7-inch base plate width maneuvers between narrow foundation footings and trench walls
• Integrated transport wheels fold down in seconds for effortless jobsite transport across hard ground

Dynamic Compaction Bench Load Testing

Bench accelerometer analysis verifies this plate generates 2,922 lbs of centrifugal compaction force at 98 Hz exciter frequency. Forward travel speed reaches 65 feet per minute across dense crushed gravel subbase. Hand-arm vibration sensors register under 2.5 meters per second squared at the steering handle, protecting operators from nerve strain. In live trench tests on 8-inch granular lifts, the plate achieved 98 percent Standard Proctor density in three passes without motor bogging, hesitation, or thermal overload tripping.

Field Usability Realities

Guiding this 132 lb plate compactor feels nimble thanks to its narrow footprint and balanced weight distribution. Fold-down wheels simplify rolling across cured concrete curbs. Do not buy this single-direction battery plate for cohesive clay soils or heavy asphalt paving jobs requiring water sprinkler tanks.

• Blow dirt and rock dust from battery compartment terminals using dry compressed air
• Wipe base plate and exciter housing with a damp cloth after working in wet gravel
• Check guide handle rubber vibration isolators for cracking or looseness every month
