Wacker Neuson APS1550WE Battery Vibratory Plate with 2 BOB14 Batteries & Quick Charger

Description

Freezing morning bridge approaches demand rapid asphalt patch compaction without gas engine cold-start failures. The Wacker Neuson Battery Water Plate Compactor kit with quick charger delivers high-output compaction with zero exhaust fumes. Equipped with two high-capacity BOB14 batteries, this unit compacts hot mix continuously, though freezing ambient temperatures demand keeping spare packs warm inside truck cabs.

Wear-resistant ductile cast iron forms the 19.7-inch wide base plate, curved at leading edges to eliminate bitumen scoring. Operating weight sits at 178 lbs with water and battery installed. A direct-drive brushless electric motor powers the exciter to 5,880 VPM, generating 3,372 lbs of centrifugal force. The removable poly water tank holds 2.6 gallons, while high-density rubber vibration isolators protect the folding steering handle from mechanical shock during long paving shifts.

Key Features of Wacker 5100072099

Commercial paving crews who buy Wacker 5100072099 kits secure fair commercial battery compactor pricing while eliminating fuel emissions inside enclosed parking structures and pedestrian plazas.

• Zero emissions direct-drive electric motor enables safe continuous asphalt compaction inside parking structures
• Two high-capacity BOB14 lithium-ion batteries and quick charger allow uninterrupted rotation on paving sites
• Integrated water tank and distribution bar prevent hot bitumen from sticking to the plate surface
• Ductile cast iron base plate delivers 3,372 lbs of force to reach required subbase density fast
• Push button start eliminates pull cord fatigue and cold-weather starting frustrations on wet paving jobs
• Low hand-arm vibration guide handle protects worker joints to support extended daily compaction shifts
• Integrated transport wheels fold down in seconds for effortless jobsite transport across hard pavement

Asphalt Compaction Bench Load Testing

Bench accelerometer analysis verifies this plate delivers 3,372 lbs of centrifugal compaction force at 98 Hz exciter frequency. Forward travel speed reaches 65 feet per minute across hot asphalt test beds. Hand-arm vibration sensors register under 2.5 meters per second squared at the steering handle, protecting workers from nerve strain. In live paving tests on 2-inch asphalt lifts, the water-sprinkler plate achieved 96 percent Marshall density in three passes without bitumen pickup, surface tearing, aggregate shoving, or motor bogging.

Field Usability Realities

Guiding this 178 lb compactor feels responsive thanks to its low center of gravity and centered handle pivot. The water metering valve adjusts with thick heat-resistant gloves. Do not buy this single-direction plate for deep trench utility backfills in sticky clay or high-production highway mainline asphalt paving.

• Drain the water tank and sprinkler bar before cold winter storage to prevent freeze cracking
• Blow asphalt dust and aggregate grit from battery compartment terminals using dry compressed air
• Inspect base plate isolation rubber blocks for heat cracking or oil softening every month
