Wacker Neuson BPU5545A

BPU5545A

Reversible Vibratory Plate with Honda Gasoline Engine

The specialist for heavy soils

High compaction force combined with fast forward and reverse travel means the BPU 5545A achieves great productivity. It is an all-around versatile plate for all job sites that place high demands on the machine's performance potential. Its other outstanding characteristics are high operator comfort and a long service life. It is perfectly suited for the compaction of building back-fill, and of frost and sub bases when constructing roads, paths and parking lots. The 69 Hz frequency makes the BPU 5545A suitable for all purposes and compacts even medium-weight and heavy interlocking paving stone reliably. Infinitely variable forward and reverse operation including spot compaction for easy maneuverability. Ideal for trenches and large spaces.

  • The innovative guide handle provides for very low hand-arm vibration and optimizes the user-friendliness.
  • The BPU 5545A is equipped with a recoil starter. Different extension plates provide a variety of operating widths.
  • Comprehensive comfort features: e.g. low oil shut off and maintenance-free alternator.
  • The large gasoline engine with its high reserve capacity ensures great efficiency and a long service life.
  • A safety cut-out mechanism prevents the operator getting trapped between machine and an obstruction when moving backwards.
